What do you want for Christmas?

I never really get presents - I usually get what I want throughout the year ( within reason ) the boys are frantically trying to find me something that I would really want on the day... Ive just seen them sneaking  a 6ft eucalyptus tree up the garden path


.... a little walk down memory lane - 8 years ago today I got the dog of my dreams, he didnt last long but the time we had with him was special.
   

What are you hoping for on Sunday - or have you already got it
( I ordered a dozen new dahlias  )

Oooh I wish for a 6ft eucalyptus tree too!

I like girly jewellery, or something about cats. I want things that I want, not things that I need. I couldn't care less about the price tag - it really is the thought that counts

Lovely Stan x Its 8 years since the puppies arrived - that was a surprise present.
Every time I buy seeds I tell myself its my present to myself. I don't expect or want anything else. Just want it to be over and for life to get back to normal.

Instead of buying presents for everyone the grown ups in the family are just having to buy for one......a secret from santa!  They have set the limit at 40 squid and we set up a whatsapp group and each put some of the stuff they would like on that. The bigger granbairns are all getting money after much deliberation and the ones who are too young to undertand money have had money added to their parents bank balance so they have summat of Santa on Crimbo morning.

As for me, I have everything I want unless someone is going to buy me a landrover 90. or a moggie minor or a MG Midget or MGB GT, which I doubt! I did put on my secret Santa list socks and underdogs and a pork pie hat with a feather in it. though!

Oh, I see, am I supposed to ask for gardening stuff? Not bloomin likely. I garden on the cheap and that' s the way I like it!

For Christmas I want compost   and I want to work on my house 
I want lots of other things to but don’t think even a Christmas miracle is going to stretch to that list 

Just want it to be over and for life to get back to normal.

I've always loved Christmas, it is a reason for my kids or my brothers family to make the effort and visit. 

I don't go out shopping so it has no impact on my day to day life, though I have made the wreaths this year so thats been a change... just looking forward to my lunch and my neighbours popping over for a glass of fizz beforehand. 

Collecting my other boy this evening...and I will get my decorations out of the attic this afternoon.

I asked for 10tonnes and a man friday  that didnt happen!

Somethings are expensive.... I cant make enough compost, and I really would like a very large rose arch - the cheap ones dint last. I cant make that - though i have thought about it

They are reasonably easy and fast growing from seed  I have one already.... but I was banging on about not having enough foliage this month ...but quite excited to get another!

Hmmm, my shopping delivery van has broken down omg.... I might have to go out and buy my fizz! Not great timing.
