barefoot I hope ...

I'm not sure. I don't tend to go in there.

Glad it's not just me then. We were watching the last episode of Jamie Oliver's latest tripe last night (Jamie Oliver does...the French Pyrenees). She turns to me and asks, "I know this is going to sound a bit of a stupid questions, but are the French Pyrenees in France?". Bless her.

Meal at a nice Chinese is booked...with the kids. As for the pressie, I'm leaning towards this:
Sensia - Portable Digital, FM and Internet Radio with Colour Touchscreen.
A bit pricey for a radio, but perfect for the kitchen where, clearly, she spends the vast majority of her life. And quite rightly so....

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.

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.

Trust a cavvy to come up with the best ideas. Nickname is 'Baps' so not sure how best to reflect this in a present. Trying to get her to go out anywhere without the kids is always a struggle (we do everything together as a family).

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....

It's simple really, get 200 notes or so and go and get something shiny - NOTE: Not too sparkly - simple, classy design,bracelet, necklace or earrings. white gold is good as it doesn't tarnish, not yellow gold under any circumstances. Keep it simple and keep the receipt, you can't go wrong. The whole point is that it isn't something she needs.

Pandora bracelet - get her one with a few beads to start with, then for the next few years you can keep adding beads.
