That’s some expensive molten brown stuff… Molton Brown?
I don’t send cards (apart from to loved ones), I don’t donate to charity instead either.

It seems ive misinterpreted the present giving terms this xmas and it turns out she has got 'a few bits'. Its fine and not panicking at all...

Some new boots (which I didn't choose)
Some new running trainers (Which I also didn't choose)

Hope she’s not getting ready to run away
I am in the same boat. Checked earlier "ya just that one perfume". Got back to the house and a Zolando(?) parcel turned up. "What's that?", "oh just 1 extra thing for you"
Having moved house in October and the two kids birthdays also in October money has been damn tight this year. She's not too bad to buy for though, she's a massive reader and collects Folio Society books, so I got her the latest Stephen King book they've released. I've gotten her some other bits and bobs I'll know she will love but we agreed to a strict budget.

Wife this year wanted Lego (Flowers), Oversized Mug, Glass vases for bulbs (I have no idea, but she's adamant about them) A book and some other little bits and bobs. We keep the budget to £100 each
On the flip side, if you get kicked out you can keep the gift and still recieve the "service"

My partner and I have agreed not to buy presents for each other this year, and instead we're booking a holiday together.
To get around this, and to save myself from being dismembered, the dog has bought her some Hunter wellies and the cat has bought her White Co vouchers - I half hope she's not done similar for me so I've got one up on her!

We do the same.
Well. We have a 25 quid pot.
Because she's vegan a few vegan chocs fill the gap easy!

did they actually like it?
I bought one for me.
Even the longest strap was too short for me/ I could wear it on the last hole but I would have an imprint from the strap on my wrist, also it made my wrist ache I had to keep swapping it from one to the other :/, I'm not even fat or anything and I don;t have massive hands or wrists like a lot of men do.)
The screen is kinda finicky and I have to tap it multiple times to actually get it to turn on.
an example of how crap the screen is can be seen when trying to enable the "water lock" you have to try tapping the screen twice at different intervals and pressures until it actually recognises it and locks.
During any exercise thats tracking it seems your forced onto a crappy exercise screen when I would rather it just happen in the background.
etc go for a walk the watch screen gets changed to the crappy exercise states screen, I wish I could just swipe back to the normal clock face.
Other than that it seems fine enough, I wish I would have just spent the extra 80-100 and got a nice Garmin 425 and I think I will end up buying one.
I suspect fitbits are aimed at teenagers, might explain why the default straps are so small for tiny wrists.
Thankfully you can buy soft straps from 3rd parties, because the default silicone is a pile of ****

Mrs asked for new alloys and tyres as she'd seen some liked for her motor. She was, as usual unable to tell me what they were but tracked them down from an image
Riva DTM in 18s
plus some clothes she's been hinting at, nothing extravagant, just housewear, PJs, new dressing gown etc.
