CW, thanks for your thoughts...Good point. H insists we are friends now so a card would be appropriate as friends and GAG is right, humour is perfect. I'll see if I can get the right one in the morning.
I'm still undecided on a gift. I could give him a gift certificate for a dinner using one of the recipes we liked from the magazines we viewed at swimming. That's non-threatening as he'll be coming over for dinner anyway.
I'm not sure about movies cos he might think I was pressuring him as he doesn't go to the movies too often and I do.
He made reference to winning lotto recently so I could give him some lotto tix.
I'm still liking the coffee/carwash as he likes his car to be clean and he doesn't have a lot of spare cash these days.
Wine is another option.
A plant? Likes gardening. I did give him a peace plant another time though when we first split. I think he killed it though!
His other hobbies are flying, golf, music and walking. Nothing I can afford for flying and nothing I can think of that he doesn't already have for the other hobbies.
D and S brought him a couple of shirts. They look good and I'm sure he'll be happy with them. MIL got him a gift voucher to buy shorts/jeans for the shirts........ Summer is nearly here so I'm tipping he'll get shorts!
Trying to think of other alternatives.......
We're leaving at 10.30 and driving about 30 mins to a restaurant in a beachside town. Then we're going to another town to look at the shops after lunch.....bit of an alternative area apparently so lots of interesting shops. I haven't been there before and neither have MIL or FIL.
One again I have to say life is interesting.....Gee I say that a lot these days.
