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!

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...

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
