travelchic Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I've got a friend who I'm leaving behind. She has helped me out loads over the past 3 years. Cooked meals for me and my family when I was poorly, filling up my freezer when I've been skint on sick pay, giving me good advice. She's just always there for me. And it's always a one way street. I don't feel like I do anything for her. Not because I don't want to but because she's never needed me for anything. I want to say thankyou. But I don't know how. I always say thankyou and she knows I appreciate everything she's done for me. But I want to do something to say thankyou. Any suggestions??

Akasully2 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Do you have any photos of you doing stuff together? On Groupon at the moment they are doing this offer of a photo montage on canvas. Ours arrived today, just been looking at and it's fab. Bought it as present for the parents. Different options on how they are grouped and size. Very impressed and on special price of around £30 from £90, but that is a very big one. Alternatively, get photos printed onto a cushion? Not into photos? Make up a wicker hamper of special bits and pieces that she can enjoy over time. Could be hand made bits or shop bought, food and also cute bits and bobs that you know she would like. Top off with a bow and a thank you card. Any good?

travelchic Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Never thought of a photo. Great idea. She's moving to Spain next year so she could take it with her. Thanks for that. Debs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akasully2 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Once your settled pay for a flight over for her so you can meet up again Knowing how much you have scrimped and saved for this, I reckon you would have to sell a kidney for this one! :tongue:A Photo is much cheaper, body organs can be kept intact!

ali Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I was going to suggest a photo book of the two of you together - you can also add captions to the pics (I've done them of the kids for relatives and did one for my daughter after her school ball). A book that might have special meaning for her Make a ticket for free accommodation at your place in Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debs What about a Catheter bag with a piccy of your face beaming back at her! Lol:laugh: ...or ......maybe not.... What about a lovely box, like a gifts type of box, filled with pictures and memories of times you have shared together written down on nice pieces of card, and maybe promises included in it that you will promise to be the hostess with the mostest as and when she comes to visit you. Now be nice to me with your replies, the pool is beckoning!! Keep yr eye on the prize Deb...lol x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A book that might have special meaning for her Make a ticket for free accommodation at your place in Aus Ali you were a post ahead of me.... I was going to suggest making a digital scrapbook too of photos of the two of you of things you had done together.... or give her an IOU of free board and lodging for when she comes out to have a holiday with you in the future years. Debs you are good with words, have you considered hand writing a journal about all the things you love about her... things you have done together... special moments between you both etc.... there are some amazingly beautiful blank journals around these days.... even include a special photo or some small memorabillia that means something to the pair of you.

She is totally bonkers. You can only imagine the laughs we have. Now to think of up to 30 words that are ok for print ha ha. Sometimes she invites jonny and me to hers for a Sunday roast. She'll text me saying were having LOL (leg of lamb) pmsl. That's going on ha ha Thanks beany x x Debs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
