Night all

Jax

Ha ha - now I know your age !!!!


Renes

35 years I've had mine nearly bit squashed now but refused not to wear it in my last job as a waitress.

They let it ride in the end.

ohh forgot 5800

My OH had sovereign ring as well for his 21st and he still has it

Not sure the younger generation like them now - they used be be all the rage

Anthony famously had one - in the Royale Family

There are lots of unique gifts on EBay - some you can buy now - eg /Edwardian-Heavy-9ct-Rose-Gold-Pocket-Watch-Fob - 31 pounds
And /ANTIQUE-9ct-SOLID-GOLD-AGATE-ALBERT-CHAIN-SWIVEL-FOB-/ 32 pounds

Not strictly car key fob - but unique and special for a special day and son
-

My son is 47 and his father bought him one for his 21st and he still has it


Renes

It used to be the 21st birthday which was celebrated more than the 18th. The gift my parents gave me was their permission to marry my boyfriend! I think I still have the card they sent me but cannot, for the life of me, remember a tangible gift. Memories are a gift in themselves.

My parents bought me a half soveriegn ring for my 18th and I dont think I have ever not worn it. Its moved fingers over the years now on my wedding finger.

ja...x

BTW.....'Keep forever' could be a silver ring worth £9.99

Too much of a gesture for your son?

Just to let you know Mikey.....my boys have been through the mill.

Yet, have turned out as good young people

They are not spoilt, they do not get everything they want as and when.

They do get help...as any mom would give....but they have to save up and work for things too

I’m quite ‘aggrieved’ at how you posted...maybe I read it wrong...I hope so

er....why do I have to back off Gins.....??? From where to where?



I chuck my pillows when they're past their best too.


Quite enjoying the new Downham Abbey programme.

You mean what Mikey.....?

Gold Key Fob...Good idea Dea,til he looses his keys,or puts them down and has them stolen for the gold content.
Maybe a gold plated one?

But an excellent idea though...

Dont use feather pillows,bad for my asthma,use those kapok jobby ones and they wash and dry easily.
But I just buy the cheap ones and chuck em when I think their lifetime is up.

Gins

Gold key fob - engraved - for car keys

Buy him a star - named after him - then add for each of his children - certificates are neat

Buy him a newspaper for dob and have it framed


Renes

Yep me too Renes....nasty

OK you who know everything......how about a good idea for my son's 18th birthday which is coming up

I want to buy something that he can keep forever. We are giving money too (towards a car/ins)

Ideas???

Gins

One of my friends here - told me she has not washed her feather pillows since she purchased them in M&S - 7 years ago

Made my feel ill - all those dust mites doo doo - asked her - how ever much do they weigh


She washed this summer - had to put them thru machine 3 times -

I would have black bagged them


Ugh



Renes

Am I odd....I dont like choccy, puddings or anything sweet, except nannas....

I love cheese...............



Back off Cyns

Well, aren't you a clean bunch today then??? I haven't picked up a duster for a couple of days, but have done loads of washing.



Renes.....you sound sooo excited it's almost contagious!


Gins....anger? Some people have a very short fuse indeed I agree. So many reasons I suppose.....stress, tiredness, worry, health issues.......the list could go on but, like you, I think life is too short to get in a lather about something like parking!!


Just made OH a blackberry and apple crumble with custard.......so I am now in his good books...hahhaa

Oooooh I wash my feather pillows. Im a bit of a clean freak about bedding

JB has Asthma so I make sure things are as dust mite free as poss
