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.....

....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...

    • Mine was to do with them changing delivery depots from Croydon to Dartford, couldn't work that one out. Re: DPD, mysteriously the booking price increases compared to their original quote, found it cheaper and just as quick with Parcelforce. 
    • I have been attending Gokay Fitness for approximately 18 months and mainly take part in weekly group sessions to build on strength fitness.  Having been a runner for 10 years I considered myself fairly fit with good cardio ability but I was keen to improve on my strength.  During my time at Gok Fitness I have also had 1:1 personal training after a two months bout of pneumonia when I felt I was not ready to return to group classes and Gok and a member of his team, Ilona,  worked with me on a reduced 1:1 programme, which was perfect to restore my energy and strength over a six week recuperation period. More recently I have attended group Hyrox classes and a friend and I took part in this competition as a pair a couple of weeks ago.  The training gave us a good insight into the Hyrox event and got us “Hyrox fit” with very little aches or pains after the occasion. My experience with all of Gokay’s staff has been brilliant and the “hub” is a superb location.  I especially enjoy the outdoor classes – in all weathers!  The staff are encouraging, supportive, inspiring and kind.  Gokay has an excellent business!    Experience it for yourself - you won’t regret it!
    • We have used a number of tradespeople rennovating our flat over the last decade, and Matt Hanson and his team are by far the best we have come across. They have repaired and replaced a bathroom (after a long lasting leak was discovered), as well as a large scale redecoration. All was done with clear communication, great quality work (with an attention to detail we have not seen elsewhere) and reasonable prices. Highly recommend and we are already planning the next work we will do with them.
    • Did the current owner choose to do this or have they 'inherited' it? If they chose to do this then they're obviously not wedded to original period features so I'd go with an infill of matching floorboards, perhaps stain the whole lot and stagger joints so they blend in better.  If they inherited this and want a period feature I'd go with decorative Victorian tiles (I don't like the sound of self-adhesive vinyl tiles). Then use it to place a floor lamp/house plants/candles etc to make it look like it was meant to be rather than a cover-up job.  Both options will require some chipping away of the concrete to provide a level finish with the floorboards, but much preferable than a trip hazard step and something that looks bodged.  After chipping away at the concrete I'd use a self-leveling screed to provide a flat surface to work with.  Other options are a rug, piece of furniture etc and let someone else have the problem!...
