    Approved food. You are a student, you have an excuse for buying books.

    Hi Alchemilla - i hope you are having a good weekend :)

    Well done on the bay of e sales. I am aiming to do some smaller gifts for my Mr's birthday this year - i have picked up quite a few £1 and £2 things after the xmas sales. Also i intend to make a jar filled with 40 notes which will range from reasons why i like him and also little reminders of some of the amazing things we've seen / done together - so essentially a free but thoughtful gift :D i'd also suggest things like cook breakfast or a special 3 course meal - except i do all the cooking anyway so it may not feel special but sometimes its nice just the 2 of us to have a 'proper' meal at home with the table all set (can't do now as need a table but have done before). Also tokens for things - like a token for you to do a chore he usually does so he gains time from that, or a foot rub :D a picture of you all in a nice frame or one of those canvas ones you can often get on a very good deal :D

    Sorry if these aren't the types of things you were after but hope its helped :)

    Dedicated those are super ideas. Thank you.x

    Calfuray shhhhh. I lumped them all in together and so should you.

    Is it possible to read a book without being a little bit educated?

    Bit naughty today. £13 on a pair of jeans for self.

    Tweenagers party is going well. Ponyplops is indoors this weekend since her paddock is waterlogged.

    Still alcohol free.

    Two fires are burning which is how i like it.

    Ah, approved foods and alcohol free, the Alchemilla doth repeat herself :rotfl:

    £13 is not naughty, I am possibly going to buy a new pair of Dr Marten's tomorrow, now that is naughty. I loathe buying work clothes, but I do get 2-3 years out of a pair...

    I would love a house with an open fire one day. We did look at one before we bought the flat, but there were some peculiarities, like windows that weren't on the same level as the window frames.

    Just like our current house :D
