:doh: SWMBO has already started reminding me and dropping hints that its her Ruby wedding Anniversary on the 1st of August.
She reminds me every year and so far Ive not forgotten many times. I guess shes hoping I`ll at least send her a card.
Unfortunately as its her 40th and a recognised named anniversary I cant get away with resending an old card again.(I know where her stash of old cards is hidden).
Maybe I could send her a sprig of tomatoes as an appropriate gift well they are red and in season.
Guess I may end up looking through ebays rubbish for her again ::)
You could get her a nice red EWS or LMS loco but I don't think she'd be amused :D

Good idea then I could borrow it/them :thumbsup:
Get her a Farish 40 to show that you've given it some careful consideration.
You could bite the bullet and take her away for a few days. They say Hamburg is very nice, at this time of year.
Amsterdam is the place to go..
easy to get, pancakes fer lunch
trams to ride on
an double deck coaches on the train from the airport!!
and an evening tour of the red light district!!

Even Mrs Bealman liked Hamburg! Couldn't get her out of Minatur Wunderland!!! :-\
A nice bottle of ruby port.
Get the good lady drunk and then smuggle all those purchases past her ;)

I took Della to Hamburg for a
special birthday last year, spent two days in Miniature Wunderland and a lot of time hanging over the railings at Hamburg station watching stuff come and go. Only about half a day was spent in a shopping centre, perfect solution for both of us :D
Quite a good pub close to MW in Hamburg... claims to be Irish. They do dispense Guinness, though. :pint:
Buy her a loco, could be anything you want, then present her with it on the day. Then pull out her actual gift of something jewellery with rubies in it. She'll not be bothered in the slightest that you've just bought yourself a new loco!
