Honestly a credit to you that they have such imagination! I did a parachute jump on one of the worst hangovers of my life and to be honest that is the only way they got me to do it, I was still back in bed when I jumped.

Will you do it do you think, or maybe you can re-gift it to your husband for his birthday? And happy birthday to you!<br /><br />About a month before my birthday I start hinting, writing lists and making plans and basically bully my poor hubby into getting me something I'll like. I hate surprises. Unless he ever surprises me with diamonds, in which case, that's fine by me! xGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6778176631217288215.post-13581834784959636772013-09-06T14:33:31.295+01:002013-09-06T14:33:31.295+01:00What a bizarre gift for somebody who's never e...What a bizarre gift for somebody who's never expressed an interest in such a thing! I must say that I think you're very forgiving - some of the stories you told about previous birthdays being totally overtaken by cricket are just dreadful - I'd have been really upset in your shoes at my family putting themselves and their hobbies ahead of me on my one special day.

My worst present was quite a few years ago when shops didn't open Sundays and only DiY stores seemed to open late - my other half had forgotten my birthday so he had sneaked to B&Q and the only thing he could find was a bamboo plant holder - quite hideous and not a bit in keeping with our other stuff!.
