    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. :D

    This is mine for 2017. What is everyone else aiming to win next year.

  • a new tablet x ticked of my 2016 wishlist which consisted of (new 43 inch smart TV, Laptop, and £500 worth of vouchers to buy a new washer dryer which I need) I feel to have been very lucky this year, and hope we all get our wishes x
  • 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.

    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 kitchens

    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!

    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!
