oooh didn't know there were different flavours of Ninja... the Becky Excell recipes use an air fryer so I have been dithering about looking for one or a Ninja but got a bit flummoxed at the idea of 14 options!

I didn't get anything out of the ordinary present wise for my last milestone birthday. I think everyone bought me gin 😆 However, I was in Greece for my birthday which is a lot better than any present. I think as long as you do something special on the day it doesn't matter what the present is unless you particularly want something as a keepsake that is.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

Great result on the weightloss!
I think there's nothing wrong with getting money for the ninja if that's what you want for birthday gifts. I got a fancy microwave from DH once. He hated buying it, but it was what I wanted, and it made me happy!
I don't know what your views are, but I hope Scotland votes 'no'! I'm half Scottish so I'll have an opinion rather than a vote
