Instead of the usual 'I dunno - get me what you want' response to the question 'Whadya want fer Christmas?' I thought I'd take me daughter-in-law's lead from last year and ask for some things that are useful for someone else. You've probably heard of it - the giver pays the charitable organisation and you get sent a card saying that whatever they've paid for will be provided.
So I'm having a toilet built in the Congo amongst other things!
There are at least a couple of sites that do it - I won't put the links up but if anyone wants to PM me I'll supply 'em. Alternatively, just Google 'good gifts' and yer there.
