Ladies - I need your help

[Dallas]

yep. that's already done.

I am liking the mortgage assistance idea.

Or a self select Maxi Isa for the year... depends on her circumstances.

If you are an old f@rt, start gifting your cash toher via an account, is it 7 or 9k p.a?

I think she would value my wisdom and jokes more than 9k a year

[I just need to test it]

Buy her an experience. Stuff from shops is naff.

yes but she will value £9k a year now more than £4.5K a year after the taxman has been at it.

My father puts a load of dosh in children funds for the little ones, as he points out we don't need it but the kids will need it for Uni etc.

An old colleague came from a long line of Drs and Dentists ie loaded. He was gifted his child benefit from his childhood to help him out with his new baby.

Its quite standard for the parents to cover/contribute school fees also. Longer term this may be of more value than a tube up your bum

take that for free!

I only went to one once - it was after we cycled from Reading to Bath, and we were soaked and covered in mud. I'd fallen off (cleat mishap) and had a large painful bruise and graze down my thigh. I changed into the lovely white robe they gave me, and lifted my panniers into the locker only to find the front of the robe was now covered in mud. We spent a couple of hours in the pools and steam rooms, which was pleasant enough, but can't really see the point of a pool you can't swim in. Steam rooms were too hot (I guess that's the point). The 'no petting' rule in most pools didn't appear to apply - couples getting amorous all over the place. The meal and glass of wine was nice though. I'd go back if one of my friends was having an 'occasion', but I wouldn't be overly thrilled if it was bought as a present for me. But my mates love it, so maybe I was just in the wrong frame of mind.

Did you also get a massage with a happy ending from a Greek/Turkish guy?

BGG got me an Ipad last year: did not really want anything: has she got any hobbies or interests?

That's a delicious age love

Are you sure you were not at a swinging party?

I do remember the Centreparcs Elvedon spa. Supposed to be quiet area. Everyone talking. MrsBP even saw a couple arguing.

I asked reception why they did not enforce the no talking rule. They offered me another day for free. I pointed out it was stressful and left.

My sister hates a spa weekend. She would like a go-karting voucher!

Yes, that'd be my idea of hell frankly.
