    You could leave it somewhere so obvious that by Christmas next year you no longer pay any attention to it.

    My wife buys Christmas cards, decorations & presents (for next year) in the January sales. Impressive forward planning I feel. Personally I'm a more last minute type - all part of the Xmas experience perhaps?

    for the last 6/7 years I have bought xmas cards in the january sales. I have never managed to find them again the following December - not even when I moved house. I have no idea where they all go. I won't be bothering this year.

    Am sure that I will come home steaming drunk one day this year with a few mates and we will eat it. Then I will spend all December looking for it as I will have forgotten about eating it :oops:

    Your patio must be looking like a bomb-site! Have you run out of turkey? :wink:

    Must find how to post a photo - I've managed to get out a couple of times and I walked to the local shop today (about 2 miles). Great fun!

    Had dinner last night as usual.
    Making a cup of coffee is like making love to a beautiful woman. It's got to be hot. You've got to take your time. You've got to stir... gently and firmly. You've got to grind your beans until they squeak.
    And then you put in the milk.

    I've finally found a use for my 'waterproof' overshoes. They're f...ompletely useless at keeping water out, but they do keep the toes warm.

    After observing the whole concept of having a girlfriend or going steady with anyone I have realized that this is quite pointless. Why not just be close friends with someone of the opposite sex, do all the regular things that couples do, but then at the end of the day not feel compelled to have to call her or treat her any more special then any of your buddies of the same sex? Thearby you wouldn't be taking her away from anyone else and provoking the image that she can only be yours and isn't allowd to spend any "special" time with anyone else.

    Of course, marriage is a different subject and I do believe two people in that situation are making a commitment of true love that also has many other benefits that don't only extend in a relationship since.

    You see, what I'm trying to say is that having an official relationship with anyone outside of marriage is quite pointless and honestly a little selfish. However, if your in a relationship and it's going well I don't mean to tell you that you should go break up with her/him I'm just saying that this is the way I think. Anyone who even listens to my advice is honestly a lunatic anyways.

    It has been my experience that women demand a lot more out of a relationship than men do. So your theory probably won't work to well. :wink:
