It's Mrs Womble's birthday soon and her wellies are leaking, so I bought her a new pair (don't worry, I've got her something else as well).
I can't think of an imaginative way to give them to her though. Last time I arranged flowers in them, so I've got to beat that somehow this time. Any ideas?
Well, chocolates in one and champagne in the other tops flowers. But I’m with SD, I’d sooner have practical gifts and or ones which show a little understanding things that I love.
Many years ago, I was going to be visiting the then boyfriend at his parents’ place at Christmastime, so his mum had asked him what I’d like for a present. I ran an ancient Moggy Minor at the time. “I know she’s after a grease gun,” he’d replied. “That’s not very feminine, can’t you think of anything else?”, his mum had said. After pondering, he’d replied, “Weeeellll.... she has mentioned she’d like some axle stands.”
