    Present for Mum

    Any ideas gratefully appreciated.

    It's my mum's birthday on Saturday, she'll be 56, what the heck do I get her?

    She's a mom and seems to spend her time watching Eastenders and Corrie, doing cross-stitch, looking after the house and keeping in touch with the family

        For a small fee, I will pop over and give her what I gave Mrs EO for her 56th.

            Possibilities...

            1. Tour of Granada studios, where Corrie's filmed (not sure if it's possible to get a tour @Elstree where E'Enders is done).

            2. New mobile phone ringtone so that when she gets a message Biancas voice screams out "Rickaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay"

            3. Erm ... flight to Germany to see you?

                    Amate of mine got a piece of photo mosaic software, scanned in hundreds of pics of his family then chose a pic of his mum & Dad as the main pic, framed it and gave it to them for their anniversary. Very nice too, and original.
