But I don't like shopping! Unless you're suggesting I bring SWMBO and get nagged all the way to slow down?

Sounds like a good idea

I will discuss with SWMBO and like said before, depends on when in the year it will be

Great idea Singh

Time of year? School hols or not school hols? The latter is best for me. And I like the 'something else' for SWMBO idea. Spa weekend with a girlfriend perhaps?

I too am in the "interested" category subject to similar caveats as Jim, Bill and most of us who are married, with kids, no wonder Al Bundy was my role model
