    Hi Dragon,

    I had not really thought, there are lots of things that I would like - I don't need anything though. Sofa is getting a bit threadbare on the arms, but I was just going to chuck a throw over it until I had enough £2 coin savings (did have to raid that for new TV though!). What are you saving for?
