  • Hi chocolate orange, I am not 100% sure as they laws have changed recently. I know they got really strict with regards to putting names/badges/backing pictures on them and I believe the law was that the plates have to be plain, however you can still buy brand new cars which have the dealership plates on. Why not give them a ring then if you make yourself look female at least they can't see you.

    Sorry I can't help anymore.

    Thats great help Rusty.. I hadnt thought of doing that ! I think my head is too far in the North Pole to think of sensible things :o

    Sorry it took me ages to Thankyou. Its been one of those days, I went shopping and again my mind was way laid.. It caught up with itself at 3 when i had to collect my sons from school. I then remembered i hadnt ordered my medication and had run out of my strong painkillers. So emergency drs apt it was for me ( which i hated to take as it wasnt a life or death emergency)
    Sorry i have waffled :o

    As for OP can you buy a nice bottle of bubbly to share and some choccies ?
    Or you could make him some fun vouchers at www.fun-vouchers.co.uk
    Thats a nice cheap gift as you only use paper and ink and can make the vouchers for what you want

  • Hi Amanda

    The first year we were married we decided to spend up to £5 on each other, and I haven't enjoyed putting together a Christmas present as much since.

    I put everything in a shoe box, all separately wrapped (including single socks!:rolleyes: ) with a limerick on each label so DH had to guess what was inside:confused: . My gifts included paperbacks from charity shops, a home-made backgammon set, cheap sweets, a packet of Rolos (the label said I wouldn't just give him my last one, as on the advert at the time, but he could have the whole packet!), a CD also from a charity shop, etc.

    Since joining MSE I would now include all sorts of home-mades - reindeer flannels, etc. The options are endless! Get him to look on it as a challenge rather than a problem of no money, and it turns into great fun!:j
    thats a great idea too i knew it was a good idea to ask you lot !! :)
