Title: What are you getting for....
Post by: honeybun on November 03, 2015, 03:47:50 PM
Christmas  ;D

I know it a bit early but I start early getting everyone sorted out.

Hubby asked what I would like. Currently I have talked myself out of a new kindle and a digital camera. Trouble is I don't know what I would like.

So what's on the list this year ladies

We're having the bathroom done in the new year, so I have suggested to hubby that we keep our pressie budget low this year and spend the money on the bathroom instead (he doesn't know I've got my eye on floor tiles that are £90 a square metre!!).  I've told him 'small and silly' and suggested he have a chat with our daughter for ideas (she knows what I like!).

Haven't the foggiest. Know what I'm getting for family. I've told them it's cash & a little something to open. Hubby will want something camera related.

I point everyone in the direction of the Amazon wish list - currently has 46 'I want' items on it :)  due to meno brain I have forgotten when they do buy from list, so never notice what has gone.

I just totted up how much I am going to need for presents and have no idea how I am going to raise this :(

I too would settle for peace and quiet.

Don't need anything. Just got a new phone, have an ipad, don't want a kindle.
Got tons of clothes (some not worn). Got loads of spare smelliest and cosmetics.
But I want something.  >:(

Cubagirl - 1 can buy large wooden games for the garden, similar to pick up sticks.  How about Lego ?

Little Minnie - how about theatre tickets?

I have a big 'zero' birthday next year and have already asked for tickets for Phil Collins :)  Assuming he will be touring next year OR rumour has it David Bowie might grace us too, so that might be a second choice :)

I had a camper van for my big '0'  ;)

DH also bought me a foot massage and pedicure from a local saloon ……. relaxing.  I won an overall massage years ago on a raffle, also very nice.

I need slippers.  Badly.

CLKD thanks, already found a game for them.

Wish I even had an inkling as to what I'd like. Told daughter a voucher so I can buy new make up. I have big birthday next year & think hubby is already plotting something for that, as I got shot down in flames when I suggested something last week. He's forever reminding me to get my passport renewed. It's due for renewal anyway.

For my big birthday? I did suggest New York ages ago, but long haul flights and me don't go well together these days. I have also said I'd love to go to London again.  Who knows.

I have looked at some nice boots I'd quite like for Christmas, may suggest them.

I've told DH I want some new wellies and welly socks for walking the dog, so obviously need to go and try them on then he always insists on wrapping them for me. He wants car models and Tshirts and has sent me a list.

I still have my birthday money from a few weeks ago, plus the Xmas and birthday from 2014!! 

I was going to buy new boots but spent the day wandering around looking and couldn't find any that were comfy or just what I wanted.  I therefore had my brown leather boots rebelled and soled and they are like new!!

Think I'll maybe ask hubby for something like jewellery. Something Celtic maybe.

Oh I love Celtic things. DD got a Celtic ring from my sis for her birthday and it's lovely.


I still have no clue  ::)

Well I bought my own Celtic jewellery. I've sent Santa an email asking for a faux fur. I've even told him to do so quickly as its on special offer. Aren't I thoughtful?  ;D

I have already bought my own present - a new outdoor Christmas tree. Can't wait until 1st Dec and I can put it up. It is one of those big 7ft LED twiggy trees.

And the cats have just had a very expensive new cat tree - so all sorted. Just got to sort out the presents for real people now. Bah!

Post by: Joyce on November 22, 2015, 04:55:46 PM
What? No Santa!!! I sent him an email. How will I get my faux fur jacket then?  ;)

However, I do hope there's an extra little surprise under the tree. None last year, knew what everything was. I know it's better to have things you want or need, but I do like a surprise.

Virtually all my pressies bought. Just got to get something for hubby, but he doesn't know what he wants though it will possibly be camera related as he's really enjoying his photography now.

He usually finds me where ever we lay our heads  :P

There's absolutely nothing I want.  Nothing.  I am still owed last years Xmas present and birthday present from hubby and have only just spent some of my birthday money from this year from my Mum.  gorgeous amber and silver earrings.

I'm the same Pennyfarthing - however I buy lots of bird food in the year and we tend to buy stuff that we like at the time ……

Looks like Christmas is not hold for this year, as we'll probably be spending Christmas Day unpacking boxes whilst trying to cook TV dinners. I'll find my wellies sometime next year and DH will see something and I'll to get it for him. I did joke we're getting houses for Christmas, and if so, I'm having the holiday home  ;D

Just watching Fake Britain about fake fur being actual fur because it's cheaper - very interesting stuff as the general opinion seems to be that it's fake if it's cheap but that's no longer the case.
Title: Re: What are you getting for....
Post by: CLKD on November 24, 2015, 08:54:34 PM
I haven't watched that series.  It isn't always obvious what is 'real' fur or not  ::)

Not pink, but grey acrylic.

 ;D is it to be wrapped first ?
Title: Re: What are you getting for....
Post by: Joyce on November 26, 2015, 05:53:02 PM
Definitely not. Got to try it on just in case.  ;) Now hanging in a cupboard. Daft to wrap when I know what it is.

Well he's more than welcome to CLKD. However, doubt he'd even think of that.  ;D
