I wish I'd put that book on my pressie list, though we could frame some of the ones we've had. Don't think I can top your Samaritan Family, though. There was the classic where our New Zealand pals politely asked if we'd had the planned water feature put in our garden yet (Husband spent a weekend digging a hole for a barrel, which then leaked), and followed it up with: "The river running through our new property is a great tourist attraction..."

My best mate was able to do a fantastic one a couple of years back: "A Quiet Year for me - had affair, got pregnant, left husband, new 'boyfriend' twenty-seven years older, had baby girl, all a bit shocked, everyone happy.'

Two fics, eh? I look forward to both angst and fluff with the tinsel. I think people are going to be very glad I'm only attempting one... ;)
