Just a word of advice........
Do not mention being speyed!!!!



Just as an aside
Hospitals have a humerious side.  The first night, wife spent in intensive care.   The second night they had her in a private room.......... But in the Maternity Ward full of crying babies........ Just to remind her what she will be missing out on I reckon.

Still got nothing. Told her today that unless she gives me some idea of a wanted item or service, I'll have no alternative than to pick something on my own. Previous history would show that hasn't always worked out for the best.

Gather up all the junk mail that gets thrown on the lawn at this time of year, give her a roll of sticky tape and scissors and tell her to cut out and stick a wish list together for you ...
 Tell her your going out christmas shopping first thing...  go to the shops and throw it in the nearest bin,  buy a few gift cards at the nearest dress / hair / nails and pamper beauty sallon and a box of chokkies, get it wrapped up at the red cross stand for a gold coin donation.
Then go have a few beers with a couple of mates for the rest of the day . :cup:

Wife has been on about a mini-iPad. I have the full sized iPad. Went to get a new Samsung phone last week and agreed to an additional $10 a month on the plan and they threw in a mini-Samsung. She won't notice the difference. Problem solved.

She did mention it but for what she will use it for Samsung will do very adequately.  Only email and web. She won't even put music on it.
