Diamond earrings? or I think the idea above is nice with bed and breakfast in a posh place and then shopping

 

The lad and I have just got back in from town. It wasn't quite the successful mission I'd hoped for but I don't think we've done too bad and there's still tomorrow.

We bought some perfume. I had to get the lady in the shop to help because I had no idea what I was buying, but she sold me something she said was popular, and yet subtle enough so as to not be overwhelming.

Also some Thornton's chocs, gift wrapped by them because they can do a better job than me, and some sexy jimjams.

I also wanted to get an item of jewellery but there was nothing she'd like. Jewellery is the one thing that I know what sort she likes, and I just didn't see it while out, so initially I was a bit disappointed, but then I remembered something. I work in Whitby. On the old side of town (the side I work in), there are loads of little independents, many of actually run by people who make the stuff themselves so very unique. I'm also only working til lunch time tomorrow so will have plenty of time for an amble around to see what's what.

 

That sounds lovely Clue....Whitby Jet now there's a cracking idea....i know it's maybe not everyones cup of tea but i love it...so if you've any loose change....i can Pm you my address...stud earings though don't like dangle's........

I'm sure Mrs Clue will be over the moon with what ever you and the lad have chosen

 

Not really any help to anyone on this subject, but it made me laugh so I thought I would share.

Each year we go and do last bit of shopping for presents and each take our son who is now 3 and a half on a 'secret mission' to buy presents for mommy and daddy. Yesterday I took him and along with other things we got mommy a new dressing gown. Two minutes after being in the car on the journey home, he pipes up from the back "mommy, we got you a dressing gown for Christmas". In unison we both said " no it's a secret" and he reply was. " do you want to see it mommy, it's very pretty"

This morning when we were brushing our teeth he says "daddy, why don't you use your electric tooth brush" I replied "because I haven't got one". His answer "you have mommy bought you one for Christmas yesterday".

Bit difficult to do all this when you have a baby though!!

True, but that's what nannas are for

 

I've never been to Magpies, because I couldn't be bothered waiting in the queue, but I know people who have been there and to a few others, and all came to the same conclusion. There are better fish and chips than Magpies The best fish and chips I've ever eaten, bar none, came from the chippy restaurant just on the corner near the swing bridge. A very close second comes from the Ship Inn on Saltburn sea front.

 

Nanna's.......we do have our uses Clueless.

 

Jewellery, jewellery, jewellery......you can't go wrong!

 

one year my hubby got me a pretty shapphire necklace. After I opened the box, he said they have earrings to match. So I said, so this is half a gift.

 

@clueless1 well.... are we sorted out yet we could make a movie out of this ...
