    A treat of some sort - spa day for you and her, so that she won't be shy.

    I still have so many lotions and potions from my 60th and retirement. Experiences and treats are better than things.
    Polly I only thought you were in your thirties, late apologies if I've been a bit fruity in the past. ;)

    My friend is also my colleague as well. We have booked off the same week off in Jan next year and the week beforehand, I would personally hit a landmark age - 30. I may suggest a few days together in London as part of her present and throw in a West End show. It would be a great break for the both of us. Plus for her, it would mean a few days away from her husband and son, who she loves them to bits, though finds them annoying at times and they could invite their mates round to watch football and drink beer.

    We haven't had a 'girlie' few days away. I can see her liking the idea. If she does, I will be using this website and the UK Holidays board to gain tips and bargains!

    I thought we'd compared retirement experiences, Adey.

    Anyway, I can still do fruity. ;)
