G, yes they do a credit card type voucher, I had one for my birthday in October, I felt like a king going in there and just handing over the card that nobody knew how to use lol
I don't really eat pies, I tend to buy their lattes and Mexican oval bite sandwiches, there is a store right by a builders warehouse I use, which is deadly :p

New socks are definitely nice but I've ended up being a sock snob, I used to only buy the pringle sports socks as they were my favourite but I've since discovered they make a bamboo version of the sports sock! SO soft and comfortable, definitely worth trying if you like socks :D http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pringle-Bamboo-Sports-Socks-Colours/dp/B0039EL5HG

Softest socks I ever bought were made off merino wool and possum fur, in New Zealand. A gift for Mr LPH.

I didn't get those in the link. I got some with a seamless toe which some of the reviews seemed to be referring to. Anyway they were more expensive and, therefore, clearly better. :)
Santa has just allowed me to spend my own money ordering a new two-wheeled (no-engined) velocipede :-)
It will arrive in about 2 weeks........ just in time for the snow, salt-encrusted roads, etc, so it might not get ridden until the spring ;)
