to request the following birthday gifts?

[AtYourCervix]

1. a dachshund puppy
   

1. an iPad
   

1. an iPhone
   

1. Maltesers
   

1. a couple of good books
   

1. a weekend off
   

1. a harp
   

1. a Nissan Figaro
   

I don't think any of them are unreasonable suggestions. DH does.

[GeraldineAubergine]

All of those are reasonable things, however you have missed off: three boxes of chocolates, 2 bottles of champagne and a pony called Nigel.

[AtYourCervix]

The cat's called Nigel so the pony would need to be something else.

[ZillionChocolate]

Nigella?

[GeraldineAubergine]

Jeremy then

[ZillionChocolate]

What does he think you should request?

[Andrewofgg]

Watch it, OP, you are annoying the dog-lovers, the chocolate-haters, and the greenie-I-don't drive brigade all at one go!

[Katisha]

It's the maltesers that tip it over the edge.

[MumToTheBoy]

There's no harm in 'requesting'. Doesn't mean you will get them ALL!! My ds (5) requests stuff all the time but only gets what we can afford/ deem necessary.

I predict you will get maltesers and some books...

[AtYourCervix]

He's a man crap so asked for suggestions. I give him suggestions and he spurns them. Nobber.

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Do you need recommendations for them there books?

[AtYourCervix]

yes please.

but not the hare with the amber eyes - it was rubbish.

[Anniegetyourgun]

I want such simple gifts when my birthday occurs,
Two apartment buildings that are labelled "Hers" and "Hers"...

[Andrewofgg]

Put the harp in the kennel and the dog in the living room.

As a matter of fact among musicians the harp is sometimes known as the cheese-slicer.

[LordOfTheFlies]

My list is very simple and minimalist:

A horse
2 greyhounds
A drying cupboard
A good run round Hotel Chocolat
Washable cashmere twinset


I wouldn't know what to do with an iPad or a iPhone.
Hotel Chocolat knocks your maltesers into a cocked hat
dachshund? My 2 mythical greyhounds would eat it like sucking up spaghetti

[tabulahrasa]

No unicorn? Surely you want a unicorn?

[purplepidjin]

Ask for a Nissan Skyline instead of a Figaro - you might have more luck!

[Anniegetyourgun]

I wanted one of those huuuuuuge boxes of mixed Lush stuff for Christmas one year. Like, a hundred quid of non-fattening self-indulgence.

XH wouldn't let me have it.

Even though I would actually be paying for it.
