This site annoys me like that they could warn you so you could get some time to get them off!

Finally Pregnant!!
So.. Its Jono's 30th this year (in July) and I want to spoil him.. He made sure I had the BEST birthday EVER for mine (albeit with the help of Elaine) so I want to return the favour.. So I've started...
So.. Before we got the house he picked a pic of us and said he'd like to get it framed for our house.. Which we haven't done yet.. I don't want pics all over my house.. I'm not a pic person.. But anyway... (We'v got 2 done of Stringer) He likes to be different from everyone else.. imaginative I s'pose.. So.. I've gotten the pic of us, and sent it off to be made into a jigsaw puzzle pic.. Ordered late yeterday afternoon and its just arrived.. Already!!! Am delighted with it.. It looks great..& I like how I look in it which is very unusual..
So.. If any of you have any ideas for a 30th birthday gift for himself, pass them on.. As I'm at a loose end..
Am thinking of getting us a weekend in Manchester and hitting him with some match tickets n a tour of Old Trafford.. And I know he'll love that.. But I think he'll expect it too.. So this will be my fall back pressie if I can't think of anything else..
Was also thinking a holiday (he hasn't been away since 2010) but money is tight this year.. And altho I'd easily afford a holiday.. Its the spending that comes with it that's costly..
I thought of an iPad/tablet of some sort, but we both have laptops and iPod touches so its kinda pointless.. Altho I do think he'd like it.. So another maybe, maybe??

I know,, Am gutted..
I can easily get the SW ones again as they're on the site but my own ones I'm raging about.. I don't have them saved anywhere else coz my laptop blew up
(I poured 7up over it over Christmas and it was unrepairable)

We'll definitely have a weekend away somewhere.. I know he'd love the football match things, as we'v been saying for years now (since being back together) we'd go, and haven't yet got round to it.. But I just think he'll expect that.. And I want to surprise him.. he literally blew me away for mine... So I want to do the same.. But he is IMPOSSIBLE to buy for...
I haven't thought about cakes yet... He won't have any kind of get together/night out/party.. he's not that type of bloke.. So it'll probably just be a Superquinn gateau.. Tho I may change my mind closer to the timeoh love your birthday ideas, i will have a think about something else but im normally useless at buying presents for men!!! i once got an ex of mine the helicopter/small plane flight lesson. he loved it. oh what kinda cake are you gonna get made. i have cake on the brain as i sorted out our wedding cake at the weekend. i so cant wait to eat it
All the things I've mentioned, I know he'll like.. But I don't think they'll have the affect I'm wanting...

I love my iPad and couldnt be without it!! My OH has a iPod touch and he prefers the iPad (Santa brought him an iPad mini for Christmas!) You can get them engraved on the back when you buy them from the apple store.
For my OH 30th last Friday I bought him VIP tickets to the Wales Vs Ireland match as he is a big rugby fan and then we had a booth in Tiger Tiger for after the match with his friends and their girlfriends. We are booked to stay in a lovely hotel then this weekend coming with a few spa treatments booked. I think the Old Trafford idea sounds fab and then you will get to have a little mini break then aswell! Manchester is awesome for shopping!!

Doing it this time!
Philly pasta carbonara
60g Pasta (3 points)
1 rasher bacon cut into stripes (1 point)
30 g Philadelphia Light (1.5 points)
1 Small egg yolk (1 point)
Half stalk flat parsley leaves picked and chopped (0 points)
50 ml vegetable stock (0 points)
Shavings of parmesan to garnish
Cook the pasta according to the pack instructions.
While the pasta is cooking fry the bacon pieces in a large pan, add the veg stock and simmer for a few minutes till the liquid is reduced by half.
Beat together the Philly and the egg yolks in a separate bowl. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and return it to the hot pan, add the bacon and stir through, add the philly and egg mixture and stir through well to combine everything.
Serves 5 people
Prep time 25 minutes
Cook time 35 minutes
Philly Sausage & Bacon Potato Bake
Ingredients
5 Lincolnshire or Cumberland sausages
4 rashers lean back bacon, cut into pieces
1 onion, diced
600g potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
200g Philadelphia Light with Spring Onion and Black Pepper
120ml chicken stock
25g Cheddar cheese, grated
Instructions
Cut each sausage into bite-sized pieces. Fry along with the bacon and onion in a non stick pan for around 8 minutes, until browned.
Meanwhile cook the potato slices in a large pan of boiling water for around 8 minutes or until just soft. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
Put the Philly in a small saucepan with the stock and heat gently, until the Philly has melted. Season to taste.
Place half the sausage mixture in a greased oven-proof dish, layer with half the potato slices and cover with half the sauce. Repeat the process and sprinkle with the cheddar cheese.
i found these that I'd copied and pasted on my iPad.

He wouldn't be into a spa weekend at all.. jersey's I think come out after his birthday!!! The tour will be with the match ticket if that's what I go for.. And he wouldn't wear jewellry.. I've bought him 2 watches already since being back together so i think I've worn that one out
Never thought of having it personalised.. That's a good idea.. But again, am not sure about it.. I know he loves playing with his niece's tablet but its a bit of an expensive handheld games console innit?! lolI love my iPad and couldnt be without it!!
