    Maybe I am just too practical, and yes, sorry OP.....ignore my suggestions if you like.......edited original post so you have to highlight it to see it.....though that makes it sound worse than it is!

    Wouldn't be the first time that's happened! Seriously! Though thankfully it wasn't me...it was a boy who "found a wrapped sweet" in his girlfriend's bag :rotfl:.

    You have given us all a chuckle with the girlie product - I am still smiling at the thought of my OH actually going into Boots and going to the till with the prettiest box of tampons..... (actually I might ask for a box just for the novelty factor!).

    I can't even begin to imagine how I would react if he had prepared an advent calendar with special little treats (chocs, bath bombs etc) and on the last day....out popped a Lilet in a plastic wrapper!:rotfl:(I am sitting here with tears steaming down my face just thinking about it...:D:D).

    So thankyou Orkneystar - you have brightened up my evening!
