Received Mr K's cash, thank you Mr K!

Ok we're speeding towards December, which means it's pressy discussion time. I'm a fan of the lots of small things idea, is anyone violently opposed to this?

I go for lots of small too...

Lots of small things and a satsuma to top it off.

Fourthed!

I'd go for some chocolate coins or a toblerone too!

ass candles! the plasma ball is unavailable!
ok not to worry I'll do up a list of other things he wants and we'll do that one! but we're going to have to be quick, it would seem that amazon is getting cleaned out for Christmas.

For a moment I seriously thought you were suggesting to buy that as a present....

(Never heard the expression before)

OK! Plan!

Being ordered in the next 24 hours (to avoid panic Chrimbo cancellations)

7.99 Infected mushroom Legend of the Black Shawarma
7.03 Complete origami
20.40 Advanced origami
8.99 Vicous Delicous
9.99 Nyana
28.35 Quantam mechanics (had to have one serous one in there)
11.99 Adventures of Luther Arkwright: Gotterdammerung
14.79 Gesualdo Repons de ténèbres du samedi saint (truly biblical)
total
107.53

ok our total was 110 (this is why I shoved 20 quid into the party so I could soak up the short change without quibbles ruining the gesture)

Any harsh objections, then submit them WITH better solutions; 24 hours and counting from 3.13 pm Tuesday 7th of December.......

A gnats whisker beyond our price range and it won't fit in the stocking.

In lieu of the plasma globe, we could always toss in a few ass candles for the remaining £2.43...

Other than the missing PG, I've no trouble with that list.

And I just thought I could buy myself a nice cruise boat.

Nah, what you want to do is to convert her to sail, say a 4 or 5 masted barque.

And hire a few dozen people with buckets, to make up for the non-working pumps?!?

Well that's really helpful...... a lot of this stuff can't be sent as a gift...... You know for a smart dude there are times......

Anyway I've made up a revised list of things that CAN be sent, I've also gone for pressies from sources with good reputations and feed back. I'm putting the order in now and will be adding an extra cd in after Crimbo to make up the short fall. (I have an extra £20 going into my pay pal account but you know how quickly these things clear.....

Merry Christmas Mr Bell.
