I would love to go skydiving for christmas! Something I've always wanted to do, but where is going to be the best/cheapest place to go??? Can someone help?

I live in Swindon, Wiltshire.

I like the fence round yorkshire idea - keep southerners out!

other than that, I'd say men are pretty easy. I may be stereotyping and not hitting the nail for all men, but hey, i'm not god and i think thats the point about us, most of us like the stereotypical things.

If he likes football then pretty much anything to do with his team, everton if he's a chap of distinction, will be great. a tour of the ground is a wicked present, even better if you combine it with a match and a night in a hotel.

which leads me to sex. Pretty much anything here is good. If you're in debt then just you doing something a little surprising/risque is a good option. Or something like the gift voucher idea - an hour of anything he wants or something similar. Stockings, suspenders - the cliches, the stereotypes are true. basically, if it happens in !!!!!! (made by men, for men) we probably like it. not that i watch pornography, of course.

Can anyone help me out my OH likes cooking he wants anything to do with cooking.Last year I paid for him to go on a one day fish course, he love it. Anyone know where I can find another one day cooking course.

If you fancy a wee trip up to Scotland, I can highly recommend theNick Nairn Cook School, and you can stay in accommodation nearby and enjoy the beauty of the Trossachs. There is an impressive list of different courses - I've done the New Scottish Cookery class and my OH the Meat course. Anyone I know who's been has had a great time whatever day they choose. You can do informal and formal dinner parties, different types of food, themes etc. You get to taste lots as you go along, with free flowing wine. Unfortunately on the day I went I was driving! £145 per day if you book online (saving £10)

Don't know whereabouts you are in the country but if Dorset is within striking distance then TV chefs Lesley Waters and Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall both run one day courses in West Dorset where they live. Both have got websites. HFW's might be River Cottage but a search should locate them

I was skint one year for hubbys birthday so I made him a gift. I got a photo album from the £1 shop, and had some index cards in the house. I wrote a saucy voucher on each one and authenticated each with a mini holographic sticker of a teddy. The first card in the album had a list of rules and T&Cs, such as if for any reason a voucher couldn't be honoured, (in laws turn up, kid vomits etc etc), then it would be honoured within a 48hr time period or if this was not possible, the reward voucher could be used a second time instead of just one use etc Make up your own rules and regs. Each voucher had a set number of uses, usually once, but sometimes more than once and these had to be marked off on the card and signed off by me. Each card also had an expiry date. The teddy stickers were used so he couldn't copy my writing and make up card of his own! Hubby said it was one of the best pressies hed ever had and keeps the used album in his undie drawer as a momento...

My OH is getting Band of brothers on dvd, in a tin box. It is a bargain £19.99 reduced from £59.99 at virgin megastore, even though it is 10 hours of great tv, following a U.S. platoon through WW2. I'd really recommend it- there's a grabbit thread about the offer.
