    28 Engaged, Self Employed, run down, fed up and feel scruffy!!!

    A day off from being "sensible" we've been saving for wedding and house and other grown up boring things and for one day would like to feel stress free and 21!

    I would like OH to ignore me saying dont waste your money I dont need alot and surprise me with...

    A Mulberry handbag
    Some Redken Shampoo & Conditioner
    New Diary
    A Kylie bedding set from Debenhams looks so snuggly but stupidly expensive
    Lots of new pretty clothes from Monsoon
    New Fat Face PJs
    No wedding related or sensible stuff

    I cant see it...

    I've asked for this book from Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Vintage-Tea-Party-Year/dp/1845337255 and The Woman in Black on DVD.

    I'd also like some really nice quality chocolates from Hotel Chocolat!

    23, live with boyfriend, office worker. I would love; some lovely new posh make up, or vouchers so I could get it myself. A new pair of uggs. A new handbag, clothes vouchers. Perfume. God it makes me sound materialistic!

    If Santa won the lottery I'd love a sewing machine, fancy food mixer or camera but more realistically I'd also be very happy with a lovely thick fluffy dressing gown, new Converse All Stars and/or DVD box set of Eerie Indiana (US TV series from the early 90s).

    I honestly can't think of a single item that i'd buy for myself at this precise moment, not a one. How my missus is going to figure something out is beyond me but she claims to have a few ideas already.
