Last night I was rooting around upstairs looking for a book to read when I stumbled across one of my presents from DH....

Only turned out to be the Gordan Ramsey autobiography which is exactly what I'd got him!!!! Argh! Went downstairs and told him and we both just burst into fits of laughter.. so now he's taking the one I bought him back and I'm going to have to think of something else. I'll still be getting my copyon christmas day but we're all square now as he knows that I'm getting him a psp game anyway so we'll have one present each we know about and one suprise... I can't believe I've got to to out shopping AGAIN for his flippin christmas present! Argh! Men! lol!

Any ideas what I can get him for around the £10 mark???

    Right I've sorted it. Gone slightly over budget but found the perfect present for him in Argos. Have reserved it and now have to convince myself that it's worth the extra trip into Stafford to pick it up as it's only reserved til tomorrow (and no I am NOT dealing with 2nd-to-last-saturday-before-christmas crowds when I'm heavily pregnant and have a toddler to contend with! lol!)....

    Feel better for finding something though. Oddly enough Argos was the one place I hadn't looked for anything! Normally cos I hate having to got through their entire catalogue when most of it is trash anyway! lol!

    This is what I'm getting him (and Steve if you're being nosey and readin gmy posts DO NOT click on this link or I'll have your man bits chopped off!
