My two sons to reconcile.

My DH and some children are good at thinking outside the box so what ever i get in the way of presents will be great.

My dearest son-in-law to be alive again. I know, it's not going to happen.

A night out to see a good comedy set….followed by an extra large Gin and Tonic.
I’m in need of a good laugh at the moment 😫

A wheelie carryon suitcase;
A “zero-ing” pair of kitchen scales;
Some cocoa butter moisturiser;
Halva…
Nothing really. Quite happy with a load of hugs.

Of course, I shall have none of the above..

A grandchild.

I know that would be a miracle……..😢

We keep the F&M pots Casdon.

We all make a list of things we’d like, but we don’t know what we’ll get until the day, it makes life easy knowing what everybody wants. Included on my list I’ve got a YSL handbag perfume set, two Art Deco era books, some F&M rarebit (I love it, so it’s a permanent feature on my Christmas list), some posh coffee, and a bag. If I get any of those I’ll be happy with my lot.

Just to see everyone as planned, and that they all keep well. This latest flu is a bummer.
Are you an artist foxie? Don't answer that, if it is intrusive.

Peace on earth and goodwill to all men (and women)! However, as I'm unlikely to get that and I know my request to not be bought presents will be ignored by the family except by OH, I'll settle for a really good moisturising body lotion. My skin is getting quite fragile, particularly on my lower arms so I am getting through body lotions by the bucketful. I'd also like some really good quality watercolour paper in a large size but tbh I don't really trust anyone else to buy that. It's my birthday on boxing day so I'll get more gifts then and I really don't need anything!

I keep being asked what I would like but I don’t really know! I don’t need ‘stuff’ and I don’t want tat. I wouldn’t mind some compost ready for spring though. How about anyone else?
