    What do you want for Christmas?

    Thanks to Sarah for scaring me with her Christmas countdown So let's all get in the mood - what do you want for Christmas this year?

    As for me - I think I'd love some really good novels and time to read them.

    I have a great Digital SLR camera which takes fantastic photos but is quite bulky, so I would like a small compact digital camera to throw in my handbag.

    That and some sleep.

    A few days off work. More regular contact from my mother. Some social interaction. Maybe my hair done professionally.

    I want my friend's idiot D/XP to beg for her forgiveness so she can still come to Britney with me in a month's time! An early Christmas present, yes, but I want sooo badly for her to come with me after all our planning and excitement, I'll gladly take a Christmas Day without presents to open if it means they get back together and my months of planning aren't ruined.

    ... ah, i'd actually would really love to try the new facelift without botox product from Myer called Freezeframe $89 ...BUT i'm for the first time ever far too embarrassed to ask DP for it for Xmas (he's 10years younger than i and has no concept of how it feels to be an aging woman in ya 40's)

    ****** Do you gals have any ideas on HOW i could ask him for it (i'm serious here)

    A new couch
    A digital SLR
    Some nice runners
    To miraculously wake up lighter than the day before
    A family holiday

    In all seriousness, not much. I'd be happy if DH would put any money aside that he would spend on me towards things we need as I REALLY do have all that I want, and spending money on presents just because seems pointless atm. I'd rather do that for the kids Its way more fun!

    I want a 10ft christmas tree so it almost touches our roof - its a special christmas this year.

    Other then that the new Harry Potter dvd (released 18th Nov) or some essential oils or some more perfume.

    I guess I should probably say in advance more sleep too

    I would love some new earrings.. nothing too expensive just something nice.
    The pair i wear every day my darling DP gave me for my 21st birthday and they have only ever come out if i change earrings to go with an outfit (prob 10 times in the last 4yrs).

    Might be nice to have a pair i can swap b/w from him and then from my girls!
    Or possibly a nice ring or something as i wear the same 3 all day every day all year round - maybe he could propose but i doubt it!
    Thats pretty much the only other finger i would wear a ring on... lol

    Otherwise i will be a big fat PG woman and wont be getting up to much so no holiday etc , some books might be nice, or a massage!

    Hmm...I have a list.

    Camera
    Deep fryer
    New electric frying pan
    New haviana's coz mine broke
    Bread maker
    Lap top

    Would be happy with any one of those. Well if its the havi's I'd want something else as well! lol

    All that aside, more than anything I'd love my DH to find a good job here so he can come home. Kids seeing him every 6 weeks is a bit unfair.

    A whole new wardrobe full of clothes (for work and home), shoes, pj's and underware! That all fit me and NO more maternity clothes ( yes I'm still wearing some of my daggy old maternity clothes...more than one year on...just around the house!)

    Is that a big ask??
