I would really like to receive one of those Toast N' Egg makers, it would be perfect for lazy weekend breakfasts and lunch times during the week

Books are always on my Xmas wishlist, but if I could add to that I would add: a big box full of essential oils, some jigsaw puzzles and one of those deluxe puzzle mats, puzzle books, a big stationery bundle, sweeties and dairy-free chocolates, cakes, biscuits etc, some warm and comfortable winter boots & clothes, including a full set of thermals, a new stereo system and some pampering goodies for me. I would also add a few tools and clothes for my better half plus treats & toys for our 2 cats and the rescue cats and other animals at Second Chance Animal Rescue Crockenhill. Fingers well and truly crossed for this one as this box of books would give many weeks of great reading.

To have all our offspring, their significant others and GC together at Christmas with no cross words. Thousands of miles and a broken relationship make that an impossible dream. But always good to dream.?

Something for the food bank - we all eat far too much at this time of year and others are in need.

I'd wish those around me to have a happy and healthy time with a good New Year to come. I don't have a wishlist of cold, hard "things" but if I did, you can never have too many books, a sub to my favourite magazine would be great, I'd love a new laptop and a really nice moisturiser.

The Blacklist season 3 DVD is top of my Christmas wish list this year smile

My Christmas wish list would be topped by having all the family at home, but if Santa was to call I'd love some accessories to go with my new coat, and lots and lots books :-)

At the moment apart from some health worries I'm doing ok, so all I can wish for is for the health issues to not be serious and for there to be nothing bad on the horizon for me or my family and friends.

As I work for the emergency services, a nice quiet Christmas day would be fabulous. That would mean that everyone was having a nice safe Christmas x
