MrsBrown's philosophy of life and stuff

Peacock Boy* has been ignoring this problem for a "couple of weeks, hoping it would go away" So now I'm putting my friends list onto it.

He is receiving his Queen's Scout Badge tomorrow, at a special presentation. As part of the ceremony he has to give his parents and scout leader a suitable, commemorative gift. And he has no idea what to give us.

I suggested the casserole dish I wished for last week would be a good commemorative gift for me, I could think of him everytime I brown meat for a casserole. Unfortunately, he doesn't want to afford it.

What, oh friends list, should he give me to commemorate what a fantastic parent I am?





*formerly known as G, recently labelled Mr Peacock, but that feels too grownup tonight.

1. Travel on 1 Feb is MUCH cheaper than travel in January.
2. Staying later doesn't make much difference to fares.
3. Taxes etc make a big difference to the overall cost, so you have to look further than just the quotes for fares.
4. These fares are for 2 adults and 1 infant
5. The infant cops ALL the tax charges, so isn't as cheap as I expected.
6. We would need a passport for Rose.
7. Virgin has that "sporting equipment" allowance, which increases how much stuff you can take.

Fares:

Jetstar - $795.52
Qantas - $1673.12
Virgin - $937.50
Air New Zealand - $1,141.56

Are there other airlines I could be looking at?

Thanks staranise I too would like a boxed set of Hornblower, which I understand can be obtained from JB for $50

I would also like a wizzo, personality changing haircut. With colours. and a lack of long hair or maybe enough to put into a little pony tail.

I would also like the clothes to go with the personality change.
