Great 'Mums: what would you like for Xmas?' Hunt

All I want for Christmas is an unbroken night's sleep.

I'm in mid 50s and what I'd like more than (almost) anything is a small bottle of my favourite Hermes perfume. I can get almost everything else myself, but I cannot justify the expense of this one treat.

Good pressies other years have been warm dressing gown & a silk robe - very handy for holidays.
Not gloves, scarfs, mugs or chocolate.

My offspring are 16 and 13 so don't have much cash for presents. Presents I would happily receive that would cost nothing:
- Do all the washing up for a week.
- Wash my car.
- Get all the rubbish out of the car and vacuum it.
- Cook me a meal (I would buy the ingredients).
- Weed the garden.
- In short, think of a job that I normally have to do and do it for me once or twice and I'd be chuffed! :j

One of the best presents I ever had was a pink memory stick from DS3. I still use it, lots!

Also MIL gave me a small zip up sewing case with needles, a plaited thread of coloured cottons, tape measure, scissors, stitch ripper, thimble, needle threader etc etc etc. It goes away with me, and is fantastic. You can get similar for knitters too!

I'm a new mum so this year I'd like in order of preference:
Baby to get over his tummy bug
Someone to handwash the pile of messy clothes due to tummy bug
A pain free right nipple
An uninterrupted nights sleep
A back massage
A day alone to tidy the house.

What I'm likely to get: an £8 watch from asda.:j

There's only one thing I want for Christmas.

A divorce.

I want a day of the children being nice to each other instead of arguing over every little thing. Grrr drives me mad!!

:rotfl: Been there, done that, got the hulking no-longer-teenagers to prove it!

It does get better, honest ...

But why do you want the clothes hand-washed? Any baby clothes which can't be put in the machine truly don't belong in a baby's wardrobe ...

It's interesting that on the 'what Dads really want thread' more than one of them said they were just so happy to have their children home with them. For the record, I'm really pleased my 3 are coming home soon, DS2 tomorrow, DS1 on Saturday and DS3 ... in time for his stocking.

Dare I say I'd like to properly meet the friend who just happens to be a girl, most definitely not a girlfriend? :rotfl:
