Usual: t-lab.eu t-shirt, Molton Brown black pepper shower gel and a book - but could do with varying this for 2010 - at least the book...

have fun at the footie taffeta - you do have to wrap up.

Been thinking of a day out for DH too - maybe Ice Skating with DC's - we'd love it Wink - Somerset House is a very christmassy.

Ooh ooh my mum's a crimewriter! Victorian lady heroine prob not his cup of tea LOL but does have a bit of dark humour.

how fantastic having a crime writer as a mum - bet she's good fun around the Christmas table.

Will consider the Tim Vine book and Viz sub

This is a fantastic, gripping thriller that both I and DH loved. Smile

if he has a good sense of humour, why not a Private Eye subscription?

My DH is getting a gorgeous chunky jumper (bargain reduced from £120 to £50) and a pair of sheepskin slippers from Hush (they were on his list, honest!). Am also going for PE annual and other bits for his stocking.

Kate Atkinson writes well, and I also like Sophie Hannah if you're after a crime psychological thriller.

There are some good plays on over the next few months in London if you fancy a night out, don't know where you are.

I'm not goin to the football, dizzy. Its boys only. Thank goodness. DD and I shall languish with friends in the warm. Xmas Grin
