Boonie Hound

Recommended Posts

It's Mrs B's birthday at the weekend and I need to get her a present.

 

She will be getting the Two Towers on DVD when the special edition comes out in November. But I need something for her to open at the weekend.

 

She will obviously get the obligatory flowers and visit to a restaurant.

 

Jewelry's out

Toiletires are out - there is just no more room for any more.

I would hire a 7 but let's face it that's a present for me.

 

All suggestions gratefully received...

*idea* #1 A day of pampering at a really exclusive Health Spa, with aromatherapy, facials, nails (toesies and fingerys) and an all-over massage 😳............or is this a bit too close to "the day job"?

 

*idea* #2 A day with a specialist hypnotist, well versed in the art of persuading non-believers that a Caterham is a "must-have-before-I-bust" part of their life's achievements

 

*idea* #3 A noo pair of walking boots *eek*

 

*idea* #4 A silk scarf..which just happens to have pix of Caterhams all over it *wink*

 

*idea* #5 A year's subscription to her favourite magazine

 

*idea* #6 Tickets to see fave singer/group/mudwrestler/sporting event

 

*idea* #7 Well, that speaks for itself *tongue*

 

*idea* #8 Vouchers redeemable for decorating parts of house/DIY jobs/use of "Boonie's body" in unexpected ways *eek*

 

I think I'll get my coat and shovel...................

Enough pussyfooting around.

 

1. A Caterham Scalextric set

2. An L7CGB calendar

3. A "Happy Motorist" car-washing kit

4. A big box of spanners in the right sizes for building a Caterham

5. A Caterham-branded item of clothing (nb I don't think they do lingerie)

6. The signed picture of Colin Chapman I saw in shop on the strand a week ago

7. A limited slip diff (for a Caterham, of course)

8. Flowers artistically arranged into the shape of a Seven

 

There. Sorted!

use of "Boonie's body" in unexpected ways

 

Is this the one that you keep under the stairs 😳

 

My ideas

 

a) A night out with the Randy old games teacher

b) one of these useful forms here. Then you could just go and buy a Seven (after you get back from the cleaners)

c) a night out with me (like (a) only much worse)

d) a high performance sports bike (180mph +), that should make a Seven seem even more sensible

e) A baloon flight, champagne at dawn etc

f) Steam train driving day here - ooops that looks like more one for me

g) A voucher to have your body frozen when you pop your clogs

h) As above but involves taxidermy instead of nitrogen

i) A voucher to have "Boonie" tatooed across Mrs B's back

j) Special training for the Boonie Hound to turn her into a tea room killer

k) A trip on the Orient Express (v, expensive)

l) A trip of the Stanstead Express (as above but much much cheaper)

m) Feeding the tigers in Broxbourne here

n) A nice new ironing board here may be shortly followed by (b)

o) A trip down memory lane with an old friend here - aaaaaahhhhh sweet

p) something to wear now the long winter nights are here here

q) None of the above

Now you don't see that everyday *thumbup* 😬

 

Thanks all for your helpful suggestions.

 

Plan is as follows:

 

Buy a couple of gifts today that I can hide for Saturday - A to Z of Cambridgeshire to stop her getting lost and some sort of calendar maybe.

 

Flowers

 

Take her to Cambridge tomorrow and treat her to lots of Clarinet releated stuff from the music shop - meal - and anything else she wants to buy (LUsh is probably going to be a must)

 

Meal at restaurant

 

Take her to cinema for Finding Nemo and then possibly over the weekend a picnic at Thetford with the hound and if she is very lucky and her back is up to it a go on the rope adventure park thing there.
