Congratulations to you both :-bd

Mrs T does not need anything with rubies in - she has you and your a "Gem"

Well you have to admire her perseverance if nothing else.


Congratulations to you both. That's a ruby anniversary.

Congratulations to you and Mrs T from me also, Phil.   <:-P

Of course, such an auspicious occasion is not only a reason to celebrate but, for us guys, a time of angst. How should we celebrate? What gift will I buy her? How much will I spend, etc.?  :-\

Well, don't worry, I'm sure all of your chums here on the forum will come up with something that will ensure many more years of wedded bliss and future happiness.

For example, for tonight's celebration, how about watching the France vs. Iceland game? And by way of a special anniversary gift, how about that Dyson vacuum cleaner you've always promised her?   :)
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Do you really want Techno to spend tonight in A&E waiting for them to remove the said gift including the "motorised" head from his nether regions

Congratulations Phil ... and Mrs Phil too!

My parents celebrate their 65th anniversary next Thursday.

My wife and I have been married 38 years this August ... of course, we haven't lived together for almost a decade now. #secretofahappymarriage :)
