Aaaaw, you is all lovely peeps
Thankyou for the good wishes - and to you and yours also.

Well, I ordered the thing he banned me from buying - I thought fuck it, it's only money and that's what credit cards are for (ulp !) I can do without in the new year for abit, pay it off.
He'll feckin kill me but I know he really really wants one because he's been talking about getting one for over a year. Lack of money has stopped him - yet he could have put towards one with the money he saved for our Christmas foodie goodies, so how can I not get it for him, knowing that he could have bought the thing he really wants but didn't because he wanted to spend the money on us and the dogs ?

This is said thing. He has something not dissimilar (made by the same company, he's still paying it off) but it is four years old and bits of it are not working anymore, like the speaker connection - which is kinda vital ! - and intermittently, the gps receiver - again rather integral. lol. We rely on that thing to let us know where to get off the bus and shit, so (you can tell I'm justifying buying him a replacement) it makes sense to have one that actually works all the time, not just sometimes.

Here's hoping I don't get swatted about the head (albeit gently) too much when he figures out what it is. :)
