    Is it really bad that I don't want to be on my own today? I had a really good weekend, lots of socialising (free) where on saturday we had a mini party for my irish housemates birthday where we met this girl he's been seeing who is absolutely lovely and gets my vote. Then on sunday, the housemate who doesn't like me being in his room invited me up there to play games on his laptop coz mine was being finicky, so I was sat up there for a few hours. Today, I have no one about because they are all working and I'm just like 'Want company again please' It's very, very silly.

    I'm getting excited on your behalf Spud!

    Can anybody help? It is my volunteer 'boss' birthday in a couple of weeks. She will be 60. I want to buy her something a little special (but not expensive). I've come up with the idea of a paperweight - either with her initails or 60 on it. Thought it would be easy but....
    Anyone know anywhere?

    I can't seem to find a caithness site/catalogue.
    We do a lovely Guiding on but I'm trying to steer away from that.

    Hey, from what I am seeing on non-ebay sites, you are looking at £20 quid for a sterling silver paperweight, not sure about glass. There's one site which engraves for free up to 40 characters.
