Stuck for ideas - what birthday gift should I ask for?
RachelHS, 8 of October of 2008 at 15:21

I'm stumped. It's my birthday at the end of the month, and my husband wants to know what I'd like for my birthday. He's given me no indication of budget, but I tend to be a cheap date and feel guilty...

My bloody cat has just trodden on something on the keyboard, so my screen has gone completely upside down. It's V frustrating. Any idea on how to rectify it, bloody fluffy fleabag.
