If you want to be practical you could
( Ho, Ho, Ho ! )
give a big multipack of replacement bags for it

I wish a painting would work - I'd probably get looked at like I've gone off my rocker
All else fails, bottle of cologne and a scarf, but I've done both of those many multiples of times

That's not bad considering current prices but imagine that it's actually considered cheap at that price
Fuel prices are nuts at the moment.

I've started looking longingly at electric cars. They're expensive but we need a new car anyway, and being self employed there's some decent tax breaks on them. That's my next project once we get the house sorted, see if I can justify one!

Electricity is through the roof at the moment too, and when the current issues abate just like insurance prices will they drop? Will they flip!!

People will probably want to leave it a bit later this year to save money on the lights with the price of electricity.

I am indeed. Looking forward to it!!
Hopefully I’ll see most of it through. We’re expecting our first baby at some stage this month so I may miss a couple of days

Congrats though

If their cordless ones work as well, it would be well worth it!
