By the way, does your tractor need the transmission regeared?

Are you offering to do tractor maintenance? Our transmission is fine and Hubby fixed the parking brake finally, but it needs to be greased, and there seem to be about 200 grease fittings on the darn thing... and I think there's a leak in the hydraulic fluid on the back hoe part, unless he managed to fix that when I wasn't watching.

I'll cook, but it will likely be Muscovy which isn't exactly smoked beef.

No gift wrapping required! The view getting here is gorgeous and less snow than where your are... read likely no snow!

My husband is like Nancy's. Every edge of the paper perfectly aligned and stuck down with the maximum of tape.

I take a bit of care with my gift wrapping., but maybe not quite as much as he does. I was thrilled to see that our Amazon delivery today had some lovely brown paper squished into the box as cushioning. Exactly the right amount to smooth out and wrap all hubby's gifts, before popping them into the Poundland Christmas stocking I've given him every year we've been married!

I'm a better present wrapper than my husband, but I'm not amazing at it either.  I do most of our present wrapping.  I do make my husband wrap my presents though haha.

Don't they already come pre-wrapped? Just add a stick-on bow and a name tag!
