    I couldn't really think of much I want for Christmas but I am looking forward to my mum and boyfriend opening their presents. Seeing their faces are the best parts of Christmas for me:D

  • I do feel sorry for you OP. I have no great desires except that my 2 teenagers might buy me something, even a bar of chocolate. But teenagers are very self centered and do eventually grow out of it. My grown up kids buy me a nice gift. I was asked what I wanted this year by my DIL and I asked for a bike cover. Not very exciting I know, but I am more likely to get on it, if it is not wet and freezing cold. Also slippers. I get through several pairs a year due to my freezing cold house. But I am sure I will not be dissapointed on that score.
    Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination:beer:

    All i wish for is a nicer world for my son to grow up in. I need nor want anything else. My family are healthy and safe and that is all that matters to me :) I cannot wait to see my whole family on xmas day :)

    ..Plus today in the post I rec'd a Lewis Hamilton Book unexpectedly from a comp I entered on here !! So I have (extremely sadly) wrapped that up for myself lmao !! Ok so its not on the same level of expertise as DC but heck it will do me !!
    I am looking forward to reading what you all get, so want Paintpot to get her pinky screwdriver & pinky stanley knife, that still makes me chuckle :o

    as a lone parent with two children with severe ADHD and other learning probs and no support whatsoever, i would wish for somebody to offer to babysit just the once so i can go out. but its not going to happen, so i wish for a comedy dvd for xmas to make us all laugh. (and i will get this cos i'm also sad enough to have gone out and bought it and wrapped it and labelled it from my sons lol)
    enjoy life, we only get one chance at it:)
  • Aww shaz If I lived closer I would babysit for you !!

    The only support I have is from 1 'friend' whom only lives about 2 mins down the road from me, but we see each other very rarely :( She has been my rock over the past 3 years, and I have been hers.
    It is very hard :(

    Hope your house is filled with laughter later today when you watch your dvds :)
    I am feeling a little bit more optomistic about today, when I wake I have 3 presents to open ! and I have so forgotten what that feeling is like.

    Hope you have a very good day and enjoy the time with your children :) Love and seeing the smiles on their faces is always worth more than material items :):)
    Have a good 'un shaz & everyone else :)
