I will be putting in

A trowel (with which to plaster on her orange make-up to hide wrinkles, Boots make-up counter woman stylee)

A crochet hook (for making antimacassars and the like as her hair will get greasier with age)

Some reading glasses (cheap 99p ones from superdrug)

Groan, I'm 40 very soon too (11 days left of my 30's). Still, trying to see the funny side.

This is an ideal opportunity to off-load (I me pass on to a good home) one of my MIL's Christmas presents. Happy Birthday Enid, I hope you enjoy your pink, towelling, embroidered, fridge-door-handle covers.
