Never mind the nippers, what are you hoping Santa pops in your stocking? (NB: Link can be sent to other halfs, which might help)!


Me:


- a good night's sleep (priceless)


- Edward from Twilight gift wrapped (would consider forgoing good night's sleep for this)


- an enormous box of Turkish Delight from Hope and Greenwood


- instant slimming pills for New Year (see above).

12 hours uninterrupted sleep (would give up all other presents for even a sniff of a chance of this)!


A Pashley Princess Regency Bike, but not going to happen, so a Dawes Dutchess will do!


A big box of Marzipan Fruits


Matt Santos from the West Wing, wrapped with a big red bow!


Molly

In no order of preferences,



My son to take to a bottle so I can have my usual christmas boozy coffee (Bailey in place of milk) and wine and mojitios! I don't actually drink much but since I have not been able to due to pregnancy and BF, I have a mad thirst for the forbidden drink now!



Wentworth Miller, Jonathan Myers or Jensen Ackles, I am not too fussed which one, and no wrapping paper needed.


Calorie free chocolates and crisps.



My pre pregnancy body back please since I worked hard to get it nice and slim!

Heidi, you can have a drink while BFing! I drank wine occasionally (OK, nightly) as well as Guiness (good for you!) - otherwise I would have gone completely insane... especially as I ended up BFing my daughter for 13 months, there was no way I could have gone without for that long!!


My xmas wishlist:


- magic chocolate that I can eat and eat and eat and eat without putting on any weight (I'm sensing a theme amongst us!)

- another spa day, loved my day at the Sanctuary earlier this year so am hoping either Santa or the birthday fairy do the same again

- for the period 23rd Dec to 27th Dec to magically disappear so that I don't have to spend time with the dreaded MIL

- Robbie Williams, would prefer him unwrapped thanks ;-)

The thing is Pickle, I would want the boozy coffee, followed by a bottle of wine and then finish off with two glasses of mojitos, one glass is not enough. I am not sure that is sensible when breastfeeding a 3 months old, saying that I'll probably would get drunk on the coffee alone since it has been so long!

I'd like some thermals (see other thread about being prematurely middle-aged), a foot massage and lots of bath foam.


Snowboarder - why are stylish, warm coats with hoods impossible to find?! I have a long jacket with a hood but it covers most of my face so not that great when I'm out pram-pushing or carrying my baby!

Yes, I always get freaked out with hood up as don't realise when someone is right behind/beside me.


I would like: permanently straight hair so I don't have to either resemble a small bush or rely on siezing random opportunities when baby is napping to straighten hair - sometimes over the course of several days...


I read that there is some new brazilian blow dry available in Dulwich village for silly money which makes your hair straight for several months, so that would do.

Girls - re coats with hoods, check out this link to umbrellas you can use while pushing a buggy, scroll down to the 'shoulder holder' or the UFO umbrella....Snowboarder, I can so see you in the UFO umbrella.....tee hee.....

More seriously, I saw this one in the paper a while ago and remember thinking it would work.....


http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-518723/The-hands-free-brolly-wont-turn-inside-bad-weather.html


....if you could deal with the strange looks.....I too hate the feeling of having a hood up blocking my vision, so this sould solve that problem.


Belle - do be careful if you go to ask for a Brazilian, that you make it clear that it is the blow dry version for the hair on your head that you want, or it could prove very painful and/or embarrassing!!


Molly

I saw the Brazilian hair straightening too in the Village at Harold George, but my hair's so long that it would cost about ?300 to straighten it and it only lasts about 3 months. Could probably get my hair blow dried twice a week for 3 months for that price (not that I would ever have the time to do that). I did invest in a Tangle Teezer (as seen on Dragon's Den!!) and it's pretty good at cutting through my super tangly snot-encrusted hair (baby's snot, not mine!)


Molly, that second umbrella link looks so ridiculous, heh heh!

a wonder woman t-shirt. Don't ask why, just a current obsession...


wentworth miller, or maybe the actor from the big blue (not jean reno, the other one..)


SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!


and I would very much like it if the blonded ends of my hair would magically change to match my natural colour as I have no inclination to spend the time or money required for upkeep, but am still vain enough not to want to look like my hair needs doing!


but mainly sleep...

following on with the theme, I would like (and I hope my hisband's reading this):


- sleep ( a couple of weeks or the equivalent of a bear's hibernation will do)

- like others, a short/sweet labour with our new daugheter - as far before Christmas as poss please!

- the body I had when I was at university straight afterwards (will settle on a month or so to avoid foldy skin issues)

- my extended family to get along with my immediate family - not an easy one with all alpha males!

- my 2 year old never to break any bones again - aagh, so horrible.

- kiddie antibiotics that doesn't taste like earwax and put my eldest off all her favourite foods

- someone to come and potty train and dissuade my eldest daugher from her dummy is one easy session

- some kind of permament waxing solution so I never have to do eyebrows, legs, bikini again

- a safe, non-orange permanent and all over tanning solution so I don't permanently have to look like i was the main attraction on britain's most haunted

- my hair to decide if it's gloriously curly or sleekly straight - one or other will do (minus frizz)



I think that'll do for starters - too much to ask? :-)

* a garanteed minimum 4 hour block of sleep every night for the next 18 years

* Mary Poppins to come and care for my daughter when I return to work in January *sob*

* permanent hair removal for my legs

* for my daughter to suddenly realise that food's great and eat everything I put in front of her so I don't have to

* instant painless weight loss (see above)

* oh and some short grey Uggs


I've been a very good girl...

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
