My sister is turning 40 at the weekend and I'd like to get her something really special (but not too expensive!). Was thinking of a nice book with some kind of wise words/advice/photos/celebration of life etc. the kind of book you can come back to again and again.


I've already given her the ones I've read, so am looking for more ideas.


any recommendations? what has been a book that has helped to keep you sane?

oops, seems like a bad choice of words on my part?.


yes, she has kids, and yes we do usually give each other more fun presents. personally i would like to give her something she would never treat herself to, like perfume or such, but when I turned 40 - she's my younger sister - she gave me a really nice home-made "survival kit" with bits and pieces, a bit tongue-in-cheek, but in no way it made me want to smack her! made me laugh and i appreciated the thought.


she's having a huge party and in no danger of becoming graceful, but i know she would like something special that she can keep. she still has a book of photos i made her when she turned 21.


i just want to get her something special and thought there might be a few book suggestions out there.


sorry, "graceful" probably the wrong choice of word?

    • They’ve overhauled the kitchen and I gather they have a new chef. Also, a new menu is on the way.   What with Norbert’s arriving soon on Melbourne Grove, there’s going to be an Interesting offer down there.   
    • I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills. 
    • GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).
