    Oooh this just came up in my multi-quote, I must have selected it last night. Thanks for that Sami, I'll check it later and if it has worked I'll be the best wifey in the world :D

    I also was meaning to say never worry about missing something on bbc3 because it will be repeated about 50 times in the next 7days :rotfl:


    Thanks guys, I'll have a look at both. His birthday is a week on Monday and I thought I was organised but I don't think I am :(

    I have a card and a small present from Caitlin organised. I have my main present for him which is a London hotel and tickets to see We Will Rock You at the end of December but need to create a voucher for it. I wanted to buy him something related to it, but he has a few Queen CDs and I bought him the Queen Greatest Hits (or whatever it's called) a few years ago, so he doesn't really need any more. The only other thing I could think of was a London A-Z :confused:

    I've also bought him a shirt but not sure whether to give that to him from me or Caitlin yet.
    ...
    get him a fake mustache a la freddie :cool:

    SM - it's a little odd but then so are you :p :rotfl: (sorry couldn't resist)

    Elle - I do get the 'proper' ones for Birthdays but its just too much at Christmas.
    I usually go to M&S first because you can usually get a really nice card in there for £1 or £2 but in tesco and card shops even the basic ones are £2.50.

    I usually manage to pick up a nice selection of M&S cards in their sales too ;)

    Morning All :hello:

    Really need to start getting my *** into gear over Christmas. I think framed photos of Andrew are in order! I've got cards, but that's about it so far. Thank goodness for a small family who believe in :money:
