A mate of mine does this, and very well. She was on portrait artist of the year on TV, if anyone wants details I'm happy to post them.
Can she draw a picture of our rabbit that died five years ago?
She has done commissions for all kinds so if you have a picture I'm pretty sure she could. wink
I don't. That's why I asked. smile

A Ford Fiesta.

Found one that's up for £3200, but I'm going in aggressive and expect to knock the seller down to £2k. Thick idiot. hehe
I see what you did there...biggrin

"doris" is getting a fitbit, some Vera Wang and other guff from the Body Shop.

Flew the wife (and son) to the Seychelles for Christmas last year (well I was working there). Thought about doing the same for this year, but not so sure she would be impressed spending Christmas 2hrs south of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

She has mentioned she would like a new watch, so will take her out to buy one. Which means she will not find one she likes......

Nothing. The instant I realise she wants something she gets it there and then if it's something that can be afforded. Same for me too. Saves a lot of pissing about.

So far, I've bought my wife two LEGO sets (Tower Bridge and the Disney Castle) and a Nintendo Classic Mini. This may seem like I'm married to a schoolgirl, but I suppose in many ways I am. hehe

Right.

Wouldn't some school books help?

Seems about right. Poor bugger had the right part of her face missing though due to a nasty design fault with little lop-eared stinkers.

I've bought my OH some new clothes and some new shooting gear. He is crap at buying presents so I have provided him with a list that he can pick something off!

I nabbed a few things over the weekend sales; Joules wellies and Tassimo coffee pod thing, she wants a ring made out of my wedding ring as I don't wear it so will have to visit the local jeweller to see what they can do.
