    Dirty weekend anywhere, easy:p

    Plenty time to spend money on nights away...

    for now just decorate your own place in candles, (maybe a 40th banner round yourself) and have a romantic, memorable night with him.

    I agree with giving him a Tee shirt or mug with HAppy 40th on it so he has something to keep.

    Thanks guys for all your ideas - I've been laughing out loud here at some of them!! The 40th banner.................brilliant

    I'm thinking a weekend away then, or maybe just a night somewhere - haven't a clue where but I'll start fishing. All ideas or websites for cheap deals are welcome

    You never know, it might be something new for him. Does he own elbow length vet gloves? And does he bulk buy Flora?
