    My favourite present was from my OH. I just had a failed attempt at ivf and its the only one you get on the NHS. My oh is paying for us to have another attempt and has even made the appointment with a private consultant. (he doesnt have debts and has saved for this) he gave me the card wrapped up in a box. Couldnt stop crying for ages.

    It wasn't a present as such but a card from my ex - the joke on the front said "I was going to get you an ipod...." inside it said "but I could only afford a p pod". I thought it was hilarious as the card came with a packet of Thompson & Morgan Petis Pois (I shall grow these on my balcony next year).:j
