    Crafty things, and things that can keep me occupied for a few hours and perhaps engage my attention enough to drag me off the computer for a few hours.

    And I think I might do the alphabet challenge, because it's more of a fun aim than wishing endlessly for a laptop.

    Edit: The BAFTA announcements have reminded me of another.
    I really, really, really, want to win an awards goody/gift bag like the fancy stars get.

    I'm resurrecting this thread in the hope that writing it down might make it happen.

    My 2015 wishes are...

    landline phone set (2 handsets)
    frost-free fridge freezer (mine leaks)
    kitchen items (my sister is trying to have a new kitchen this year)
    posh handbag (always wanted one)
    new mattress

    and I can cross a new iron off the list cos I finally won one last month! phew! (could do with a new ironing board to go with it though)
    Thank you to everyone who posts on the competitions boards. You all rock!

    Woah, can't believe I didn't do this at Christmas

    So this year's specific stuff that would be amazeballs to win are
    1. Carpet. Seriously, HOW MUCH is carpet????? My dream win would be 'Get your entire house carpeted' - I'd probs do a little wee of excitement.
    2. A huge erse telly. Dunno why because my telly is perfectly good - but I'd love one of those tellys that burn your eyes they are so big and sharp :D
    3. Original art - and not a canvas print. I want a painting that a painter has painted with paint. Something modern and awesome and wow, that's a cool painting type thing.
    4. Central heating. I know it's never going to happen but if someone could arrange for a comp where they take your old back boiler that eats gas like my pugs eat dog food I would be ever so grateful.
    5. A pen so I can taunt Sax.


    At the end of the day I love pretty much everything I win so everything is good :)
