    I hate having to keep secrets I'm excited about secret for a long time. Sometimes even a day is a struggle. My plan for my boyfriends birthday is to buy him a new 32" TV with a home cinema system & a TV license lol. I want to hook his consoles up to it whilst he's at work and surprise him when he gets home :).

    Aww, your also a very nice girlfriend to your OH. I hope my OH doesnt read this thread coz i will look like a rubbish girlfriend compared to you guys! lol:D

    Anyone who played the football pools did you get free bets (tokens) i have £42.50 in tokens but want to withdraw my £10 balance of my own money. Do you lose the tokens if you withdraw your own money?

    Money trees would be an amazing find. I haven't done the pools thing so I can't help you there Maria, sorry.

    Did you get a nice hotel lilmiss? My boyfriend took me to Dublin last year, he booked a really nice hotel, but it was so nice I felt really out of place. I wanted to do the peoples job for them, I'm not good at letting people do things for me. I'm so common at heart :o.

    I know this is a bit of a strange question, but did heniz used to spell baked beans like that or with a 'z'. The z is really annoying me.
