I'm being difficult this year because there are two things I really want but I just can't have and the third seems equally impossible, although it really shouldn't be.

Number one is the discontinued Kate Moss "Kate" perfume that used to come in the pale pink box with black detailing. It was the first perfume Dd bought with her own money when she was about 11 and I thought it would be one of those horribly synthetic, headache inducing nasties. I was totally wrong, instead it was a light, powdery floral that to me was just perfect and I miss it.

Number two would be tickets to see the brilliant but massively underrated Irish band Walking On Cars live.Their song Monster was the title track to the Netflix series The Stranger but they have never got the recognition the deserve.
They were due to tour this year and had some dates for next year but now they are gone, split in August after a decade together.
I'll have to console myself with watching them "live" on YouTube instead!

Thirdly, an ASH blond box hair dye that doesn't turn my now very grey hair ginger. It doesn't have to be particularly light blond, mouse would be fine, perfect even.
