Totally misread that as "bum plug".  I was all, "Whoa, TMI!"
No... that's what I got Stuart for his birthday.

A few months back, my kid knocked off someone's wing mirror while we were riding bikes. I actually left a note and paid for it.  Sorry that happened to you!

Thanks Jimbo.

Car going into the shop on Saturday.  £374 down the drain.

We even tried to source it as a DIY but we have a yellow Nissan Juke. The dang part alone is £200 plus Stuart knows nothing about anything unless it is skin care.

It's our (sixth) anniversary today, and I'm awake at half-seven because I left a card out for my husband to find before he left for work, and he found it.



I ordered seeds of three very hot varieties of chillies and tucked the packets inside the card.  Total spend: under £5, including the card.  :)


Edited to add: last year's anniversary card was Domo Italiano, and I gave him a wooden pizza peel.

Thanks, Larrabee!  I pointed out to my husband that this is our first anniversary without a visa application looming over us.  It's the best one, so far!  :)

(We had our first FLR(M) in-person the day after our wedding... it seemed like a good idea when I was booking everything, but it made for a rather anxious wedding day.)

Wait a minute, yesterday was my anniversary as well.  That's a bit stalky!
