ooh, i want a slanket too!!

thick winter tights (several pairs)
a grade 1 piano music book (but not the exam pieces cos they're too hard!)
a strap for my winniethepooh watch so i don't have to wear this sodding stupid "posh" watch anymore (because it keeps losing time and falling off my wrist)
some gel hand warmers that were mentioned in the "DH bought me a blu-tooth headset" thread. (my hands are bloody freezing)
some books: or at the very least National Book Tokens.
some nice fluffy pyjamas
fluffy slippers
warm thick bed socks

I don't want much

I wont actually get any of it because my family never ask what i want , my dad always buys me something totally useless like a solar powered plant pot or a car air freshener that smells so strong it makes me gag .

nickelbabe · 04/12/2009 12:24

oh, Marne, I'd love a new lens for my camera too, but the one i want is £90. it's only a basic 24-70mm as well.
SLRs are expensive.
come to think of it, it needs a new battery too.

Rindercella · 04/12/2009 12:37

PMSL @ the slanket. I would love one, but I know DH would never, ever buy one for me, not in 1000 years. He would know that if I had one of those I would never get off the sofa! Damn, it looks cosy!

I have requested:

Issey Miyaki perfume
[[http://www.bohemiadesign.co.uk/babouche-list-13-prodlist-41 These slippers] (I always buy these, and need a new pair)
A Gap cardi
A gorgeous pair of pyjamas
Um, think I did ask for a couple of other things, but I can't remember what now.

Rindercella · 04/12/2009 12:38

Grr - link again: here

VirginPeachyMotherOfSpod · 04/12/2009 12:39

I would leave DH if he bought me aslanket, so not me.

nickelbabe · 04/12/2009 17:01
