I think you are lucky!
I had to buy myself a bog-standard beginner's rod, but have never actually gone anywhere to use it yet!
But - it is there as and when.
Just after I got married, my dear BIL gave me a hot water bottle for my birthday, and my beloved bought me a new tyre for the car once - his car!

when iwas 11 i got a lovely pressie (can't actually remember what it was now!!!) but it came in a box for a fish pump.

It was from a good friend of mine who had put it in there to make it easier to wrap. i honestly thought i had been given a fish tank pump! - my mum always told me to be gracious for any present i got, you should have seen me trying to be happy about receiving a pump! LOL.

Hey Joy

Happy Birthday!

My OH a couple of years ago messed up big time for my birthday. I had asked for the latest version of the Family tree software I use....and for him to cook me my favourite meal for dinner.

Instead he went canoeing with his friends, rang me at 9pm to say he was in the supermarket buying the bits for my 'favourite meal' and would be home in an hour....

When he arrived home I was fuming - and to top it off - no software, but instead - the game Operation and a big pink glittery hula hoop that plays music.... I believe my words without the expletives boiled down to me telling him I wasn't 5 years old and that I had always been and continue to be rubbish at hula-hooping....
