My parents will be pleased to know that I have made two two excellent purchases with my birthday money.
The first is a nice giraffe for the house – the same as the one Sally bought when she was out here. I have become very attached to that giraffe and I wasn’t going to give it back to Sally when we returned to the UK. As this probably wasn’t the friendliest thing to do I thought I should get my own. I adopted the same approach to the purchase as Sally, find a minor scratch on the giraffe and get a discount! It worked a treat and the shop assistant asked if a 10% discount was acceptable. I thought it was and made the purchase:
The second investment is a future family heirloom! I’m very pleased with it as are the boys. It is …. drumroll please …a Barcelona shirt signed by Lionel Messi! I’m very excited about this purchase! It is currently being framed so that I can hang it on a wall. I’m not sure Tracy will allow it in the master bedroom so it may go into the boys room. Lucky them!
What an excellent pair of birthday presents!!
