Wishlist: a laptop, a grand piano, world peace (or if not, at least peace in my family). tongue.gif

What I am likely to get: the Cambridge Guide to Music (will be useful for homeworks etc and I've already had to borrow it twice from the library).

Probably a Grade 7 scale book.... argh.gif

To be honest, this Christmas I'll be happy just to get a break from school and all my activities! rolleyes.gif

I would like a grand piano - and I would also like my neighbour to give us her lounge so we could knock through and have an extra room to put it in... rolleyes.gif

I am getting a casserole dish and some books - almost the same! tongue.gif

I want a Retro Player which is a record player and turntable suitable for playing old LPs and 78rpm records. I have a large collection! smile.gif

I've got one of those - the 78 records are over in a blink of the eye, and a symphony is spread out over about 10 records biggrin.gif


I was looking at a portable jigsaw table yesterday and thought "I could do with one of those" blink.gif I've "inherited" a large pile of jigsaws and an equally large pile of mixed-up pieces, so unless I throw them away sad.gif I can't give them away without actually doing the jigsaws first wacko.gif

What a brilliant idea for a jigsaw fan! Mix 2 puzzles together and do them both simultaneously from one enormous pile of pieces - it would drive you nuts. Would only work if they were from the same 'stamp' though or it would be too easy. smile.gif

OH and I are buying ourselves a Bose music system to get around the pressie problem. Rather short of places to play CDs at the moment and I don't have an ipod.

OH has a waterproof coat suitable for walking the dog. Razor (got it free when I swapped a disposable on the doorstep a few weeks ago). A book and some PJ's.

Kids

Clothes, smellies, perfume, make up, hats gloves and coats.

Me....

Clothes and a suprise.

Nothing big this time need all my penniies to pay for rest of Cor Anglais.

Not cliched at all - it is precisely what I'd like as well. I also want 2009 to be consigned to history for ever and ever.......at least that is 1 wish that will come true.

1) Time

2) Someone to do housework and cooking for a week, or, better still - a fortnight

3) Some material, and a pattern

I like the idea of nos 1 and 2, perhaps I would like them too. Actually what I would really like is for my husband and I to move back on the same track with the hope that we will get back on the same train. The last couple of years in our family has really taken its toll on our relationship. Is Santa listening? lol

A bit of peace and quiet and a day or two to myself.
The Old Lady
2 whole weeks at home, not having to go out anywhere at all. Everyone picking up after themselves, and pitching in with their share of the chores. BLiss. tongue.gif

All pigs checked and ready to fly.

I'd like an expensive new flute. I expect I'll get chocolate instead. Oh well.
