Hi,

19. A day cosied up in front of the fire with the newspapers and a cup of tea
20. Some really decent saucepans that don't buckle on the rayburn
21. Just for me some Chanel No 5

A girl can but dream at christmas time x

and I know I'm being greedy but dreaming is free

22. A white christmas and proper carols!!

Just as an aside to Homegrown's post I still have glass milk bottles and home delivery and I keep them both for convenience and principle!!

23. Believe it or not - face cloths and oven gloves as these don't exist in France (face mitts and oven mitts only ) and fun tea towels with prints of places and things on them for the same reason. I hate boring French ones - plain with a stripe or two.

24. Season 3 Desperate Housewives - I am getting this as I already ordered it from Amazon!

25. An Australia calendar - yup already received that from my 2nd cousin

26. Chocs of my choosing - and yup will be getting that too!

It doesn't take much to please me.

27. A sitting room for my mother - done!!!! We've got it dry-lined and floored while she's in Manchester, OH is plastering over the joins as I write and I'll sand it and paint it during the week. She'll want a carpet and sofa, but will come back to find a new, clean, freshly painted room, all her furniture cleaned (by me), a rug in front of the hearth and her TV, complete with freesat. And if she doesn't like it - I'll have a new sitting room for Christmas

28. Five more hours a day (especially if I can sleep for half the extra time).

30. four helping hands (to dig the garden)

30. Three fresh wishes (or an old lamp)

31. two self-feeding cats

32. and a partridge in a pear tree

33. and A local shop (for local people) so we don't have to drive 10 miles just for a pint of milk and a stamp

34 rigger gloves. can never have too many. I soaked a pair yesterday so much i could ring them out, dragging branches out of the field. dried them on the rayburn and now they are crunchy...

35 an illness free Christmas day (my son was ill so much as a kid, we have only had 3 without illness .

36 a relaxed enjoyable Christmas day.

37. more daylight
38. a hobby for hubby (who doesn't DIY or garden)
