Mary, it's close on 40 years, and I still haven't got a clue how her
mind works!
You're not trying :-)

Some people are just useless when it comes to buying pressies - i`m one
of them...

I just go into some weird panic attack mode, and walk around like a
zombie for 4 hours, not taking in anything i`m looking at, until the
missus tells me to give up and come home !
