	MotownGirl. That reminds me of my S I L, she would give me the useless things like an umbrella knowing I cycle everywhere, a book on how to sew, knit etc knowing I had the entire Golden Hands collection, if she couldn't think of anything useless she would leave the price on whatever she did get me.

	Remembering back when we were first courting (such an old fashioned expression) I found out that M-in-L and S-in-L's (3) all had birthdays within a 5 months period. So I found out exactly when, scoured the card shops for cards that suited them and bought pressie that I had found they would like during conversations. At the end of the year it was my birthday, and they all got me the same. Nothing! :-0 :-D :-D Congrats Names, our is next month. :-)

	ZZzzz why not ask him for £70 then you can treat yourself to some new clothes or perfume, whatever you would like. Win, win situation all round. You get what you want and he pays for it.
