Well the Mrs is pressuring me into what do I want?

Any ideas for a gist or 2 not big money - I usually ask for stuff that I couldn't bring myself to stump up for but nice as I have all the usual bits ! Any thoughts?

I got Nash bivvy slippers from the mother in law a couple of years back, would never have bought them myself but really like them and now live in them in the winter. They were a nice gift.

Possibly I left it in mine and the wife's ebay watch list, have to see if Santa baby leaves it under the tree this year, It's what we do around a month or so before Christmas and Birthdays as it also gives each other ideas to tell the family when they ask if theres anything for either of us around 20 to 40 quid which is generally what we all spend on each other, basically items we wouldn't necessarily buy ourselves but wouldn't mind if gifted.

Lol - no shes not that subtle - its usually 'what do you want / email me' . . . best pressie would be a stress free divorce and a house slave that is the identical twin of Ana de Armas (real version of the digital variant in Bladerunner 2049). . .at which point Carp fishing would probably become a distant memory . . . . .

I like this,reckon coupled with the newish Trakker ,marbled ,super duper non stick fry pan,pots and the xl ,toasty ,griddle would be all you would need,unless going super minimal


Hearing from someone Trangia ,is looking into marble non stick pans etc..if so brilliant !
