A new fork after his lordship snapped the other one. Needs to be a tall one which seems very hard to find.
a sun bed on a sun baked beach would be nice.
We are very biblical this year and waiting for the safe arrival of a baby

i usually have a very short Xmas list of things that would be nice to have but I don't really need. This year is different. My poor family are in for a shock! My list is very long and is added to and amended every week! Just suggestions mind?. Top of the list is a heated Propogator, I have had so much pleasure from growing plants from seeds for the first time this year that I want to invest in some more sophisticated kit.
We had a deal last year whereby nobody could spend more than a tenner, you had to get as many presents as possible and kudos awarded for naffness.
Strangely, many of the presents turned out to be more useful than the usual expensive tat. e g the bit of plastic for opening jars, the keyring light - handy for looking in a dark handbag . Some less useful - like the cork with a light stuck on it so that you could change your empty wine bottle into an 'attractive' lamp.
It was fun buying and receiving them and totally stress-free. I'm looking forward to doing it again this year.
hi all my xmas list has started I have made a list of plants and seed and a lemon bush small type and a few cards for garden centres we have 12 grand/children and 12 adults my 3 girls //ellens 3 boys so they have lots from 6 going on ( 10) then 12 up to 25 the youngest knows to much on how to use computers I have to ask them Michael
A slice of the lottory would be nice to help move house
pleease Father Christmas
Hi, all I have asked for is a really good pair of secateurs.
B3 : we do a secret santa in my family. You get allocated a name and can spend no more than £50. The person organising it gets to add silly things to the list along with suggestions that the original person hadn't requested.
Both OH and I have birthdays close to Xmas so decided years ago that we would buy decent b'day prezzies but have a £10 limit for Xmas. This went after Possum arrived in January 1995. I'd really like to go back to it or swap it and do simple b'days and fancy Xmas.
Either way, my shopping list is, as always, garden and sometimes house related so this year it's a man with a bulldozer to smooth out the former hen patch and make a veggie plot and a ditch in which to bury water and leccy from house to veggies; the timber for raised beds; a greenhouse and/or polytunnel; heated propagating bench as opposed to a bought propagator, a tree surgeon to take out a damaged ash and a sick plum and so on and so forth. Big stuff but needed anyway so why not for Xmas?
