My little lady is going to visit her folks in Barcelona for three whole weeks. I shouldn't let Dave or Rich know that, as I value my liver
I stay at home to look after the cats, or at least that's my excuse. Barcelona is better visited in better weather. We live and work together so I seriously value some 'Phil-time'. This does not necessarily mean three weeks of wanking, smoking and playing computer games...but it comes pretty close
Gift-wise we're the same as some of you guys, we don't really go for crimbo presents. I bought her a £500 yamama keyboard for her birthday in September, she was dying for it...... she never touches it
An old Irish saying from my mum this time of year regarding presents was: You'll get a doll, a drum, a kick up the bum, and a chase a round the table.
