It was my birthday on Saturday and although I've made numerous references over the past few months to something I really really want - or perhaps because he doesn't want to spend that much - my husband professed himself unable to think of a suitable gift for me. He did once suggest that for my birthday he might get a quote for having my mother's bureau restored, but as he got a blank stare in reply that notion died a death.
As it was, we went out for the day to Machynlleth which is one of my favourite routes and we visited a couple of art galleries (but bought nothing) and then went out to a super restaurant in the evening. It was a smashing day, and best of all, when my hub apologised for having bought me no present I suggested that no problemo and perhaps it would make more sense if the next time I saw something I really liked he could buy it and that would be my birthday present. He thought that was a good plan. He thinks he's going to get off light with some trifling thing.
We're going to Chester very very soon. Boodle & Dunthorpe's here I come! :O)))

Well Im glad you went out and had a nice time - happy birthday for Saturday sorry its late! My partner tends to buy me things when I need it not on my birthday - on my birthday he will buy just a little thing - like this year I already had a laptop, a camera and a camcorder off him so I shouldnt expect too much when it comes to my birthday!! Oh, he bought me a lovely necklace on valentines! whoops nearly forgot LOL Love Laine xxxx
So what did you want? Women can be so obtuse!
Happy Birthday Fairy albeit late. Machynlleth is a lovely town. Hope you get the pressie you want. A spare oar for the canoe might come in handy.......you could always poke him with it next year :) Rache
