My thought (in red) on Jack's list.
All tongue in cheek and no ill will is meant at all.
Please note Jack is just a young lad and I have kids older than him, so our tastes are VERY different.
This is mine for 2017. What is everyone else aiming to win next year.

I'll honestly be happy to win anything! But the things I am really hoping for are cash so I can be more financially secure or even pay to go away somewhere, a holiday because I haven't been on one in years, a TV because mine sometimes doesn't turn on until the tenth try and has a green stripe along the bottom of the screen, and a smartphone for my boyfriend because the one he's got is broken.0

I think you should add "A new House with a 300 Sq Foot Kitchen" to that list in the first post, I think you have every kind of kitchen gadget ever invented in the history of kitchens0
-
Same as every year, mine is nice and short - I want to win every competition I enter.0

Dear Comping Fairy,
Next year please may I win:
A breadmaker (since my hardly ever used one broke I've decided that if I get a new one I will definitely use it much more. And somehow I really believe that!)
Vouchers (for anywhere, really not at all fussy)
Garden furniture (hubby decided to skip ours last spring, promising faithfully that we'd replace it...)
A microwave (tried to sell ours in local paper for a fiver in 2004 when our kitchen was refitted and no-one wanted it back then!!)
A product of the year bag (no idea why I want one as it is basically like receiving someone else's supermarket shopping but I would swap a lot of things to get my mitts on one of these)
Anything else would be super lovely too and hope everyone gets all the things they wish for- as long as I get first dabs on the breadmaker!0 -
I would really like to win one of the cycling related competitions that get posted. Failing that just to win something would be great.
Oh, and a twitter win would be nice. Must have entered thousands over the last year and not a sniff!0 -
