she's a brilliant friend, has helped out with ds quite regularly (babysitting and the like) since he was born, and has been so supportive in general. I wanted to buy her a big pressie to say thanks, but I stupidly asked her what she'd like rather than doing it as a surprise...she was genuinely not into this idea, saying she didn't want presents etc...she wasn't just being coy, I got the impression she really meant it.
So instead I thought I might set aside one saturday for us both to go somewhere on a girly day out for which I would pay...come on all you creative MNers, gimme loads of ideas for fantastic days we could have!! tia...
