And some question psychological dimorphism.

Im no good at chtistmas shopping, even when i do see something i spend ages thinking about it or go off around other shops before going back to buy it. and then i spend ages wondering if ive bought the right thing.

kitchen utensils!? I should hope so!

[Jabberwocky]

A lot of thought went into it, but it was just not appreciated

[racechick]

hmmmmm. I'm not convinced of the level of thought. Kitchen utensils are 'anytime presents' not birthday or Christmas presents. Dare I ask what kitchen utensil it was?

[Jabberwocky]

It was meant as a stocking filler, but it turned into a full on issue lol

[racechick]

And it was what exactly?

[Jabberwocky]

SWMBO whilst she was pregnant got really bad food poisoning, she out it down to eating some undercooked chicken in a restaurant we went to. Since then she has had issues with cooking anything that has chicken in it. (Chicken burgers that are supposed to be cooked for 20 mins have to be in the oven for an hour before she will eat them) etc

So I thought something would put her mind to rest was one of those food themometers.

You're forgiven Jab, that was thoughtful.

Maybe you should have wrapped it up in a cashmere sweater!! Or a silky robe!!
Unless, of course, those thermometers battery operated, in which case !!

My latest excitement for pressie shopping.

Swmbos dad lent her, her grandfather's medals to wear on remembrance day.

So I thought I would get them mounted nicely in a display box. so my search for a display box began. I found the box I wanted £8.50 on ebay. So I thought I would message a few local companies to see if they would make one for me. Thought I would give some business to the locals.

So far I have 2 quotes for the £8.50 box.
One for £300 - £400 plus VAT the other quote £100.

Lesson learnt
