​Birthday Favours with Love - October 2019

It's my daughters 23rd birthday in two days' time.  I'm sitting here thinking "what do we buy for her"?  Being retired and having six children and six grandchildren so far,  it becomes extremely expensive come birthdays, Christmas etc.  Then an idea came to me - she doesn't own an iron, let alone have time to iron since looking after a 2 year old and 1 year old twins, and starting TAFE 3 days a week. So our birthday present to her is " 4 weeks of ironing" and "dinner cooked for her family once a week for a month".  I'm sure this present will be really appreciated. I'll make a heart shaped card, with " Birthday Favours with Love" on the front.  I'm just waiting now because I think this might catch on with the rest of the family.

Editor's note:  This idea is so versatile, Lawrie is right, it could catch on. It could be "Christmas favours" or "New Baby" favours, "House warming favours" or even "Just Married" favours. Actually any gift giving situation you can think of. Cath
