Ok, everything's going to seem trite after insurance's response. That being said -

When I was 11 and big sis was 12 we entered our horse-crazy phase and pestered my parents all year long for riding lessons. They rolled their eyes and pretended not to hear. Then, Christmas morning, the very last pressies sis and I unwrapped (at the same time, by our parents' order) were two sets of riding boots, helmet, crop and breeches! We were in heaven.

Of course, we had to wait a few weeks to start lessons, so in the interim we made fake monocles and dressed up as Eric von Stroheim, ruthlessly wielding our crops and frightening the siblings.

I hope so for you too, insurance.

A little note on Christmas Eve from my doctor to say I was definitely pregnant that is nearly 30 yrs ago and I still have the note

insurance......I really hope you get your wish, hope your hubby recovers.

Best Xmas pressie was from a friend last year - tickets to see REM. Hubby and I have been fans for years but our budget doesn't run to luxuries like concert tickets. A really thoughtful, generous gift from a true friend who we will treasure for ever! Fab, memorable concert too.
