Just bought my first Christmas present of the year.

OK, everyone! In my defence

i) It's for my father not my wife
ii) There is a long order cycle because it's being made
iii) I had a spare ten minutes after lunch

good grief, I can't even get this tweet right !!!

It was for my mother not father.

<goes for a small nap>

OK I want to be clear (takes deep breath)

The present is for my mother, it is a handmade backgammon set, it takes some weeks to produce hence the October ordering. I have not ordered anything else yet for anybody else

If anyone is interested I need a new pair of driving gloves
