Default Buying flowers for the missus

It's my wedding anniversary this weekend (national day, day off, ace) and I need to get a proper big, massive bunch of flowers for her.

Any recommendations of where to get them from?

contempo in the fairmont do really lovely flowers...you could also try april flowers, tel: 04 3455516, not sure where they are based...

alternatively, you could always order an edible arrangement, they are fab and a bit different... http://www.ediblearrangements.ae/

Congratulations. Do women still like to receive flowers? I thought they were only given when you had done something naughty. Why not chocolates instead?

Tape up the cats' mouths with duct tape. taht way they can't dp that annoying noise, and they can't spend the day burping and farting.

Yeah, I didn't mention , you will need double the duct tape for that.
