    I looked up what 12 years was (in terms of 1=paper, 2=cotton, etc), and 12 is silk or fine linen. Would some nice black silk sheets for the bed along with a nice set of linen napkins be acceptable?

    She does like her plants/trees so maybe the magnolia tree could be a winner....

    Does she actually like you anymore? Need to get her some outside the home interest or when the kids leave you're in trouble, empty nest etc.

    Have a listen to the Beatles 'She's Leaving Home', heartbreaking but true if you end up just living for your kids.

                    Not just you.

                    Just had 13 years wedding anniversary with my pin. Been together much longer.

                    She is a keen photographer so I bought her a lcd photo frame filled it shots of the kids and cats, trip to a nice Chinese restaurant (without the kids) and hey presto I'm the proud recipient of a bed sheet enema.

                    It is the thought that counts, a bit of effort and they actually realise you care.

                    Made me laugh about the dogging, one of the mummy Mafia was round other day when the fake sign came on the news. Strangely conversation turned to dogging, said mummy - "oh yes me & X tried dogging, we were quite adventurous in our sex life".

                    After I cleared up the newly applied coffee spray finish that graced our kitchen table, we worked out she was talking about the type of dogging that makes your knees ache not the more sociable type.

                    She can tell her children apart by using their surnames so your wife has nothing to worry about.
                    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
