    but you'll just get mad that he's fallen off the DFW wagon if he buys you anything! he's trying really hard to be good - poor, wee soul...

    I know:o , he has WHS vouchers..so was hoping for a freebie:D I wouldn't ask him for something paid for with real cash..even i wouldn't stoop that low:rotfl: :rotfl:



    Sheesh:o :p :rotfl: Martin is stamped through my soul now:money:

    I think that's why he asked me about Dawn French:D I also showed him the vouchers i printed off..just to make them go further..that way i cunningly get two pressies in one, WHS points and if he uses his discount card can chuck choccies in as well...I think i am too cheap:o :rotfl:

    To be fair my OH always tries really hard at Xmas to get me a couple of small surprise presents BUT he still doesn't know what sort of things I'd like despite me throwing out HUGE hints :rotfl:

    I have recently discovered that you can reserve books online and have been pleased to receive a couple of brand new books. This was because I reserved them after reading newspaper reviews of new issues.
