Erm, OK, well, go to plot, take pad and pen, then when you're pootling about, there's bound to be some point where you'll say to self..."I could really do with a......" and fill in gap!! ;D ie new boots, fork, covered drinking mug, beer, cooler, hat, shades, warmer socks, hoe, MP3 ( worth its weight in gold!) chiroprctor or holiday...... ;D

Hire a gardener to do the digging for a few hours :)

Never enough canes, one of those compost daleks (that would be fun to wrap!), growbags, a 24 can pack of Stella ...

Box of wine ;D

I only ever drank wine on my allotment once ... on my 50th birthday. Took a bottle of blackberry down and shared a small glass with the neighbours, so when my wife arrived at 12, I was more than half cut... . Decided wine and gardening are not comfortable companions ... ;D

Derekthefox :D

Sound like a morning well spent Derek. :)
Baz had a parcel delivered yesterday, it was well wrapped but was very obviously a chillington hoe...imagine a guitar wrapped up without disguising it and you'll get the idea! Baz refused to confirm or deny that it was indeed a chillington hoe, but looks like my christmas pressie is sorted! :D

I was thinking along those lines Caz and can imagine someone trying to gift wrap a rotovator ;D I've ordered my old man a spade for Christmas - can't wait to have a go at wrapping that! Shall I put it in a box or make no attempt to disguise it ;D

I can remember when I bought him the dog ;D ;D ;D

PLease tell me you didn't wrap the dog.... ;D

Derekthefox · « **Reply #15 on:** December 07, 2005, 13:28:37 »

Yes Caz and Baz, it was a superb morning, indeed a delightful day ... my neighbours cursed me though because the wine stopped them for the day !!!

Derekthefox :D

wardy · « **Reply #16 on:** December 07, 2005, 13:32:06 »

I left him an air hole ;D

Do you think the old man will guess what this is?

undercarriage plan · « **Reply #17 on:** December 07, 2005, 13:39:12 »

::) ::) ::) ;) no, Wardy, cos not.......... erm try .... no that won't work.....scratching head here.. Aha!.....put it in a bath, and wrap the bath!! Then he'll think you've bought him a bath, but you haven't, well you will have done, but that's just a distraction from the spade in the bath......... ;D ;D ;D

Derekthefox · « **Reply #18 on:** December 07, 2005, 14:04:57 »

Erm Wardy, do we get three guesses ?

Derekthefox :D

wardy · « **Reply #19 on:** December 07, 2005, 14:15:44 »

Lottie I think I understand what you mean ;D I shall cunningly disguise it as sommat else. Er ......... any suggestions

I've hid it behind a pile of stuff in the wardrobe. I bet I forget it's there ???
