What to buy my wife for Christmas?

Had her birthday on the weekend so I’ve used up my ideas.

Any ideas are appreciated?

Doesn’t drink much , has about 20kg of Haighs and plenty of jewelry

Birthday, amongst other things

Son, massage voucher
Son #2 handbag voucher
Me 3 books

Westfield vouchers for mine, she buys anything she wants that way, plus Im out of ideas.

We have a few trips coming up in 2024 so I thought a new suitcase would be a good present as hers was well over 15 years old. Guess who went to a Black Friday sale and picked up an "absolute bargain"

Mind just likes an afternoon at the pub betting on the ggs drinking beer! Try that!

Haha, last year she fell asleep in the bathroom after a glass and a half of champagne. Would be a cheap present

We just had one advertised, wouldn’t be worth leaving your job after this long now

make a bet? My role has been 60/40 admin/dealing with people for as long as I can remember and it's the admin days that's kept me remotely sane.

They've now pulled that from us and given it to another department and not even offered us the opportunity to go to that department.

So that leaves me dealing with people 100%. After 18 and a half years, i just can't do it and the actual thought of doing so makes me cry. (and if you knew how highly regulated my job is, you'd understand)

The reality though, is that I need to somehow plough through another 18 months to get to 20 years.

Wish me luck.

Quite some months later ... I don't know if you still want any but I just walked past a joint at Gepps Cross with a stack of free pallets ot the front.

Turn right at the top of Prospect Rd, they're on the left before the next corner.

I'm with Internode (now essentially iinet) and it was horrible earlier this week. I had to reboot everything to get some basic connection.

Sometimes it’s better the devil you know, it isn’t easy starting over again out our age, it’s pretty overwhelming.

On the same token, even when I absolutely hated waking up in the morning at my in-between job, not once did I regret leaving where I was for 20+ years, it was a stepping stone and I learnt a lot about managing people by witnessing how poorly they were at it.

I’m fully under the pump atm but I’m loving it, I know things will slow down after the break and I can come up for air to assess my strengths and weaknesses.
