mnko, Just a thought - buy a box of really nice individually wrapped pralin�s, get some coloured card and cut little cards that you can tie on to each individual chocolate. On each little note, write down a reason why you love her, why you fancy her, or write a little promise to her, i.e. to give her a sensual massage, to kiss her neck etc etc etc. After you have tied a card to each pralin�, place them all over the house, in places she will see when she comes into the rooms. You can do the same with red roses. Tie a little love note to each rose and leave them lying around the house for her to find. These little things will cost you more in effort that in money and I am sure she will love you for them. Get some nice massage oils and pamper her when she comes home on her birthday. Make a nice bath for her and give her a gentle massage afterwards. Perhaps you can cook her something nice or if you can afford it, take her out to dinner. Just give her you attention and your loving care all day. That is probably what will make her happier than anything else. I wish you both a lovely day togehter and Mrs. mnko a Birthday filled with love!!! xxx :o)
