I am one of those sad people who don't actually want anything ... but for the sake of this thread, then I would prefer a bigger house ... with a large farmhouse type kitchen with Suffolk latched doors ... and a cellar (for all that homemade wine) ... and a massive garden and orchard ... and a hothouse ... please don't wake me up ...  ;D

to be taken out for dinner  ;D

Like the cooker by the way TM.  Hope you get it  :)  I suppose the only way to guarantee that you do is to buy it for yourself

Thanks, but no chance of that Wardy: £3K  :( (Although if gas prices get much higher maybe we'll all need one?) Tell you what, if I get an unexpected windfall, we'll buy the cooker and invite you and the hubby round for dinner! (It'll be vegan though)

Nice cooker TM, can see why you'd want one.

I'd like a small farm (approx 15- 20 acres), and enough money in the bank so that I didn't have to make my living from the farm! (cos knowing nowt about farming, I'd probably bu**er it up...)

Cheers,
Rob ;)

Love the stove TM, I love my woodburning stove, that one would be so much more useful.

As for me, I just want to be organised and ready for Christmas!

Well there's my perpetual dream of being able to retire by the age of 30 (less than three months left to achieve that one!) and buy a little cottage in the country, with about an acre of land and spend my days with Mr Aqui growing vegetables, having and raising a couple of kids, looking after the chickens and dogs we'd be able to get and riding occassionally (although surprisingly I do not want my own horse!)

But I'd settle for a ton of well-rotten horse manure, world peace and an end to hunger.

Or maybe TM's stove (and a bigger kitchen in above cottage!)

Selfish wishes for me.
That  my granddaughter continues to keep well after major surgery 2 years ago for scoliosis
That the mild form of scoliosis that both her sisters have will not progress to become serious
That my lovely daughter-in-law's brother comes through the treatment he is having for cancer of the tongue.
Of course I wish for world peace and nearer home that my family and I stay as caring and loving as we have been.
I must tell the family after my birthday presents NO MORE BRANDY THANKYOU ::)

Lottie,

It's not much - just Rachel Stevens sprawled over a rock in a bikini top.
Your PC obviously wants to protect those innocent eyes of yours. ;)

Just looked again and some of the adverts on the page are a bit near the knuckle - hadn't realized that when I posted it oops So have changed the link to something in foreign so even if it is smutty most of us won't understand it :)


DTF,

Won't be getting either but I can dream - even though my two sons (6 & 7) told me I could dump their Mam for the lovely Miss Stevens. She wasn't best pleased ;D

World peace is a good one (can't remember who said it now) though verging on the Miss Congeniality territory  :D

I'd also be happy with any of:  a cure for ME &/or chemical/noise sensitivities; a detached house with a big wildlife garden in a quiet location; an enjoyable new job for Romeo which doesn't involve any commuting or travelling; my Dad to be told he doesn't need to have a heart operation just before Christmas; a cure for my Mum's arthritis; all shops to stop selling non-organic products & charge a reasonable price for organic ones; and all multinationals to decide that the environment is more important than their profits.

And I wouldn't object if someone giftwrapped me a David Boreanaz ...

Yes, I do prefer the scruffy look, there is something rather appealing about well worn jeans and a tousled hair look ...

No slugs - what a great wish, Katy then I wouldn't feel guilty about disposing of them!
Brad Pitt - now there's a thought but maybe if he had a few more pounds round the waist and lost a bit of hair and had a lottie near mine........ maybe at my age I should stick with Robert Redford and his ranch.
Really I wish I didn't need to wish :'(

For Joanna Lumley to finally admit to the world that I'm the only person she ever truly loved  ..... what a saddo !   *laffs*

P.S. Would also like to here my Dad shouting up the stairs for me to get up for school, he's been gone for a few years now, but I'd love to hear the old bugger's voice again    ;D

Would happily have a loan of Brad and Jonny off of Greenwizard, but then OH would be entitled to his 5 minutes with Rachel or similar, and that is so not going to happen  :)  So, will have to settle for the productive smallholding in idyllic countryside (plus OH suddenly and magically converted to willing gardener) - right, whichever one of you lot is my Secret Santa, get sorting ... ;D 

(And maybe I could just have Jonny as a stocking filler?  OH might not even notice if he's down sorting out the Buck's Fizz  ;D)

The bloke in the leather pants is Ben Browder who plays John Crichton in Farscape.  Saturday evenings on BBC3. I missed it last night because I was at a four year old's party. So, I wish for all the Farscape episodes on dvd so I can watch him all the doo dah day.
I also wish I were this cushion.

She may look like Claudia Black but that is infact Aeryn Sun,a non human,an ex peacekeeper, who can pack a punch despite being skinny and can do amazing things with her reproductive system.

Ok Lotttie, you have Aragorn and I'll have Boromir!  The nearest I ever got to see him was the model of him dead in his boat from the film at the science museum - that would do, it was very lifelike!
