Eventually I’ve got round to finishing the girls version of the Christmas cheat sheet, I’ve also tweaked the boys version a little.
Download: Girls Christmas Cheat Sheet >
Download: Boys Christmas Cheat Sheet >
Print them out, fill one out with your clothing sizes and give it to your partner. Get your partner to fill out the other and give it back. Then head out shopping and have a merry Christmas.
Update: By popular request, the girls version now includes ring size!
Cookie & Paul are currently walking the 3000 mile long Continental Divide Trail from Mexico to Canada.
Everything about the walk is on the following pages:
1. You can check on our progress here (or below)
2. You can find out more info about the trip here
3. You can sponsor us here
Tracking our progress right across America is no mean feet. Luckily we've had a good deal of help from the kind folks at Nokia, who supplied us with their latest N82 phone with Sports Tracker. It's what we're using to track our route with GPS, take our pictures and write our posts. Finally it's the tool we use to update the blog, whenever we get reception or a wifi area.
Made in England by Gentlemen is a blog written by Cookie, who generally designs websites, draws cartoons, drinks too much, grows a moustache and browses the web for interesting & amusing stuff. But currently the only thing he's doing is walking northwards towards Canada with his mate Paul, if you're not interested in my holiday pics ;) and were hoping for some visual eye candy, may I suggest you check out my girlfriend's blog: Monster-Munch.

I referenced this great idea on my blog and a couple of people have already commented to me that while you are dropping hints you should probably add ring size (at least to the girls chart) Ha!

Great idea and great design! One potential typo: do you think girls are particular about the size of informal restaurant (brasserie) you buy them for Christmas? Or are they more likely to finicky about undergarments (brassieres)? ;o)
Said, on December 13th, 2007 at 10:54 am :
