"What do you REALLY want for Christmas?"

My dp fixed me with a steely gaze and asked me this last night. I realized that what I REALLY REALLY want is a lovely ladle so that I can feel all motherly ladling stew out of my Le Creuset stew pot, and a concertina. He now thinks I'm very strange. What do you want?

Malkuth I've got one of those I think in my loft still in the box. If you want it just reply. I'll double check then.

I'm going to e-mail DH next year with a list.
make-up brushes
New figure, this one has gone all lumpy.

Just to be told an ideal hotel on the Costa del Luz or Costa del Sol with a fab kids club that I don't have to book the flight with as well.

Some else to do my tax form.
Oh! this list could go on forever

Starbear thank you so much for that offer. I am hoping that Lidl don't sell out but if they do I will take you up on that!

chefswife Congratulations. Now you'll want lots of help and lots of sleep. I Hope you'll give anyone who pop around a cleaning cloth and a job. This reminds me of my Lovely SIL who came over had 1 cup tea helped cleaned my house, sent DH & BIL shopping then another cup of tea then went home.

Haribolicious - I have the cupcake stand - it has seen my domestic goddess rating go through the roof [preen].

What I really want this year is a bookshelf for the front hall. I'm convinced it would change my life.

Haribolicious · 15/12/2008 11:09

wilbur I am v jealous I may end up buying one myself as my DH doesn't see the point!!
I too, do not want a mincer.

wilbur · 15/12/2008 11:10

Get one, get one! Your friends will be and it makes even your wonkiest creations look like they came from Patisserie Valerie.

I want some sleep! Not even uninterrupted sleep, just some sleep in the actual nighttime, instead of catching up on the odd hour here and there during the day.

SalLikesEggnogUnderMistletoe · 15/12/2008 11:32

This as I'm fed up waxing / tweezing / shaving. No such luck I'm afraid, but wouldn't mind!

A cakestand - one of those nice looking ones with a glass (?) cover so that you can look at your wonderful creation - anyone know where one may be bought so that I can drop a few hints if not already too late?

mrsgboring · 15/12/2008 15:30

For my pregnancy to continue safely to term and baby to be born breathing.

And on that day, to commence a very generous year's supply of parma ham, blue cheese of every description, champagne and dessert wine.
