    What makes you think I don't have one :rotfl:.

    Well, not a bad shopping expedition. No man creche or naughty step for Mr GG :kisses2:, and we literally bought the first thing we looked at for the first pressie :T. Still a bit more to get but v pleased with what we've achieved :). Finished early so came home and had a lovely Thai takeaway eating.gif.
