Are you asking for Old Style christmas presents?

I'm asking for 'luxury OS' goodies - a super duper last a lifetime kitchen knife and a snuggley merino and cashmere blankie for on the sofa

My parents are kindly paying for my 1950s kenwood to be referbished. It goes off tomorrow!

My OH is getting me some cooking books and some pans
Hes getting a knife block.

My dream list would include a laundry room with walk in linen cupboard and a walk in larder :rotfl:neither are likely to happen but they make nice dreams.

On a more realistic note I'm hoping for some new mixing bowls, the old fashiond mason cash ones, a new cassarole dish and a woopie pie cookbook.

For all those who are hankering after a kitchen aid mixer, I can say they are lovely. I got mine as part of a long term service gift when I got made redundant, it's the one good thing that came out of the redundancy, makes me smile everytime I go in the kitchen. I could never have brought myself to pay all that money for one if it had not been a gift.

Me and OH weren't going to bother with presents for each other but OH after reading background information on Edwardian Farm discovered that they had done another one before Victorian called "Tales from the Green Valley" which is set in the 1620s (Stuarts) so he ordered it as a joint present to each other!

Unfortunately it came last week and we have watched all but 2 episodes; which we will be watching tonight!:D

Well I always ask for cook books this year would love

jaimie oliver 30min meals
river cottage everyday and rivercottage family.
new dodo diary
maybe few new notebooks for my many lists.

still debating slow cooker.Some threads have said food tastes funny as was debating a croc pot.
if money was no object which sadly it is not but heard rave reveiws about the tefal jam maker but its 99.99 but think with better foraging efforts next year could make tonnes of jam as still got 20bags of damsons in freezer.:rotfl:
Still wondering if should save up for one as could pick tonnes of stawberries at farm, have cherries , plums and brambles near me would be next years xmas presents sorted.
A house round corner does homemade jams and sell its on little table .

Do need new roasting tin which is urgent as one I brought does not fit oven.

would like larger casserole pot.

cant think of much else maybe more tupperware and cake tins live dangerously.

My OH asked if I wanted one of those but I pointed out I couldn't boil wash sheets in one:rotfl:

I have asked for the seeds to plant my veggie garden, a lovely tin to store them in and wellies for working out in the garden when my super boots become too warm. I choose lots of unusual varieties that I wouldn't have if I had been paying!

I have asked for a full week off, to myself, to do as I please!
I don't work, but lately everyone wants a piece of me and I'm going LOOPY!!!!!!!!!!
People keep saying don't take stuff on, say no etc: yet the same people are the ones that are wanting of me, maybe they don't realise? Each says 'tell everyone you can't do anything for them' then ask 'can you do such & such for me/can I book you for' :mad:
Its all becoming very wearing
DH says he's going to sort it out for me by telling everyone I'm unavailable for the week of choice
And I know he will :j
