Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

How wonderful, happy driving, keep safe

Wow thats amazing. I was the same yesterday. Didn’t receive anything from hubby until lunchtime we were all sitting there and he handed me an envelope and inside were tickets to go and see II Divo next June.

Enjoy your new car.

Oh my goodness how fabulous. Thank god you didn't say anything. I don't think I could have stopped myself from dropping a few sarcastic comments if I had been you

What a wonderful thing to do! I would love to have my own car. I don’t know if I could have bitten my tongue earlier before the surprise though. You did so well to cover up your disappointment. Enjoy driving!

What a wonderful & thoughtful family, enjoy many years driving around. Good job you hid your disappointment earlier in the day.

What a brilliant surprise!
I bet you were ?beaming!
Enjoy!

It seems that when I had just come out of hospital early this year, DGD's and I were talking about surprises. I can't remember saying (might of been the drugs) I would like a red car. They had told our DD and DS. They discussed it with their dad. These girls are 11,11 and 10, I'm surprised that they kept it secret for so long.
The dice are fitted, dogs in the back window and sticker on the screen. Those 3 had the first ride, then the 2 DGS's.

Lovely! A neighbour has a new red Mini and it looks really stunning.

Brilliant!! smile

What an amazingly generous gift! What a nice family. I bet the grandchildren were fizzing with excitement when you opened that garage door! I was 47y when I inherited a car of my own. It was years old but I adored the sheer freedom it gave me. I can still remember the pride I had driving my very own car. Just wonderful!
As my dear dad used to say ‘third class driving is better than first class walking’!

Fabulous. What a lovely family you have. They clearly love you very much. Happy driving ?

How lovely and what a special gift. A Christmas to remember ?

Actually it probably wouldn't have been a disaster if the OP had let fly about the disappointment. Sometimes when you're planning a surprise, the more upset the person gets when before the know the surprise, the more fun it is anticipating their reaction when they find out the truth.

Wow now that's a bit of stylish gifting Enjoy !!!

Oh nanawind that's fabulous. I've always thought that it's a damn good idea to keep your mouth shut and this proves it! I'm sure you'll treasure it.

Its not the car or its value, it is having family who love you so much that they would club together to buy you something, you never dreamed of having.

That's right M0nica, that's exactly it!

Now that is a present!. You'll never ever again consider uttering a word if you think you have been forgotten in relation to anything. Your and the family's faces would have been a treat, hope someone recorded the occasion for you.

What a wonderful, heartwarming story. I hope you enjoy driving your very own car and continue to enjoy your family who sound fabulous.

Your lovely family has put a smile on my face Nanawind, what a fabulous present! Happy Birthday!

How lovely - what a great family you must have, all working together for such a fantastic gift!

What a wonderful surprise for you.

That actually brought a lump to my throat.

I hope you have many many happy motoring miles to come

Such a wonderful surprise for you. What a very special family you have ?

Oh nanawind...lucky you bit your tongue there isn’t it! What a wonderful family you must have. Enjoy.
