With your obsession with gnomes, I thought I would share a story.

Years ago, when we were kids, we used to walk a neighbours dog. We went on a mini holiday in a coastal town and while we were there, seen a gnome with a dog by the same name as this dog we walked so bought it.

Turns out the woman HATES gnomes, so actually not liking her very much, we bought her a gnome every time we travelled. She loved us and kept every one of them and still have them in her garden. Fast forward to now and my sister was shopping and came across a gnome store that was shutting down, last hour open and is basically offering the gnomes to whoever will take them so she gets one of each of them at 50p each, signs the gift card from all three of us, and that old lady is going to hate us because we are doubling the number of ugly gnomes in her garden.

I will try and get my sister to take a photo of all the ugly gnomes next time she visits

If you were my neighbour you wouldn't guilt my mum into having me spend hours at your house because your family don't ever come visit you and you are lonely!
