Not sad at all DP, it sounds a wonderful list to me and I shall be creating a similar one very soon.  Already have Sarah Raven's book on flowers and some seedsand dahlias  to go with it, secateurs and fruit bushes on mine!  Always have compost and manure too!

I asked middle daughter for compost for Christmas present. She said no but as part of my present she gave me £10 Focus voucher. She knows I buy my compost from there. Off to get it tomorrow.

Nothing wrong with that list at all DP.  I would count myself very lucky to get anything from there, apart from Amy Winehouse though, would prefer a Neil Young album.  :D Happy Birthday when it comes! :-* busy_lizzie

Great list DP!  I like Amy Winehouse but beware the 'explicit lyrics' version of Back to Black.  Bought the CD unwittingly from Amazon just before Christmas and couldn't believe my ears.  I'm sure the cleaned up version is fab so why produce such an unnecessarily vulgar version as well?

Emmy, if no album is forthcoming, can I take you up on that offer please ;D

Jill, I guess 'cos to some peeps it helps to sell it?

Was thinking yesterday, I need to add to my list.............
Weed Supressing Membrane and a water butt or 6! ;D ;D

Glad to see I am not alone, sister puts diamond ring on her birthday list every year, still on the list 40 years on! ;D  Now if she had asked for manure, I am sure it would have been arranged............a non gardener see! ;D
