    Wink All I Want For Christmas 2010

    So as the title says what do you dream of for Christmas this year?

    It's a little over 2mths away and i guess it's never too early to start thinking about ourselves for once.

    Me:
    * Clothes - in desperate need of new clothes
    * Money - i wouldn't mind getting myself a hair cut and maybe a manicure
    * House Items - i've lived out of home since u was 18 and things are finally starting to match but i wouldn't mind getting a few little bits n pieces to make it more of a 'home'
    * A tatts win, to pay off DP's tax debt and maybe get ahead a little.

    So what about you?

    I would love to get absolutely NOTHING from BIL and his wife LOL. She is the queen of ****ty Christmas presents so I'd be more than happy if they had nothing under the tree for me this year

    Other than that, I'd like a new pair of sunglasses and a wallet.

    I like the sound of the tatts win to get us out of a hole.

    I'd really like a school hours job for dh that would be the next best Christmas present.

    I would like:

    - to not have to spend any time with FIL and MIL (that sounds horrible, but it's not - they are)

    - a spotlessly clean house.

    ZF, you've got no idea! Last year was their year to spend with her family, so they left their gifts for us all at the IL's and me, SIL and MIL all got terrible gifts. SIL and I got a Polo Ralph Loren shirt - both were two sizes too small, mine was PASTEL and her's was green and looked like a mans shirt. MIL got this tacky oversized white patent leather bag with big silver buckles all over it and it was so not MIL's style. So we all laughed our heads off at the gifts and put them aside, but this year they are having Christmas with us, so if we got another bad gift from her we'd have to pretend how happy we are So I would rather just avoid the whole situation.

    A sticky
    To never have to hear about/from my in-laws again.
    Win tatts
    For Christmas day to go smoothly! Don't want to spend Christmas eve in the ER again!

    But in reality I want a new camera, which DH and I bought for ourselves from the kids that we may or may not have opened early after a TTC meltdown

    Maybe some new dressier flats to replace my heels I can't wear since breaking my foot

    To be honest I dont know. Its just me and DF this year along with my mum, nan. sis and 3.5yr old nephew.
    I would be happy with nothing but some things for baby and something small for me like a new purse or something.

    if i could have anything i would like a new car but thats not happening.

    Seriously..the main bathroom in our house is cactus!!! We had flooding here beginning of the year and the water poored down the internal wall.
    the shower glass is cracked, its blue and brown (dont ask) the the tiles are cracked...I HATE MY BATHROOM!!!

    Maybe J man will get the hint when I tear down the shower screen soon

    A cat. Dp has never had pets and just doesn't get the point or see how much they have to contribute to a family unit. Also, he's allergic so the ones least likely to affect him are pricey. Add to that the fact that no matter how hard I try the place is never completely clean and he thinks a feline companion would only add to that and I really have my work cut out for me ever making it happen.
    I'm an optimist, though (not to mention persistent )

    - A new DSLR. I currently have a Nikon DSLR - which I love but I have been eyeing off a new lens for it and it is $$$ (because it a professional lens) but I have found a professional DSLR camera package that comes with that lens included for not too much more than the lens on its own. I keep drooling every time I see it in the camera shop. DH and I both take photos now though so it would be great if we could each have a camera when we go places because we end up fighting over the one we have.

    That is all. Not too much to ask, is it

    I am super excited to have Christmas this year because we don't have to go anywhere until dinner time and it is our second Christmas with DD, which means our FIRST CHRISTMAS BRACE FREE!!!! So she can run around, sit at the table with us and have Christmas dinner! WHOOP!!!!!!

    But, if Santa's feeling generous.....there's two books that I'd like

    I posted in a thread similar to this last year, asking for a BFP. I have that now, so I just want bubs to be healthy

    -For my mum to find her way out of the sad place she's in right now.
    -For my brother to get his life together, I want him to be happy.
    -For DF to get into his course

    Oooo! Christmas pressies.
    * bfp would be lovely
    * purple kitchen aid
    * a big sparklingly diamond ring
    * the hall way to be finished - DP started that last holidays.

    The only likely present would be the painting.
