More obtainable I would like a wheelbarrow.

I could do with a new wheelbarrow. I would like more LEGO especially from the Expert Creator range. And chocolate. And dry weather.

I'd be happy with a room we can sit in downstairs. Flooded in 2012, we can stilll only use kitchen.
The dining room and 'lounge' OH not got round to decorating and now filled with his 'stuff'.

More time.
Or Less rain.
Either would do :) .

Bet he comes on Christmas Day :D 8) Anyway, the very best of luck for a smooth delivery and a healthy baby :love:

My first Christmas wish would be for a German Shepherd but as we have 3 dogs I have no chance. If everything over Christmas and New Year could go to plan and I see all my family then I will be happy.

Wow! You're still allowed to turn up with hay in your hair and smelling of, er, strawberries though, right?

Well, all I can say [member=132794]Scarlet.Dragon[/member] is that as per our conversations a few months ago, if my accountant had known what a tup, drainage ditch or landrover smelt like, that would have saved me a hell of a lot of un-necessary hassle this year. I think you can be forgiven! ;)

Hopefully you've got all that sorted out now though?
I wouldn't have minded but the girl is married to a farmer.... albeit one that uses a Henry to clean his combine (and I don't mean the cab!!!). I can't imagine anyone who looks less likely to be a farmers wife as she's very delicate, perfectly presented and manicured. I simply cannot imagine her in a boiler suit and wellies shearing sheep or mucking out!
That's the thing!
Even farmers nowadays are so detached from... farming and nature lol
-
Well, some of them are. This is the time of year when I sweep the hall and put the result on the muckheap.

Yup. As a friend of ours once remarked, "When I visit my other friends, I take my shoes off to save their carpets. When I come to see you, I keep them on, to keep my socks clean!" :-[

Surely you only need carpets if you don't have enough straw down?!
Now I could regale you all with a story about the straw on our kitchen floor many years ago , but I wont.

It's the tall leaning thing you hang extra washing off :D
As for my Xmas, I would like to get the job I've interviewed for :fc:
(I messed up the "corporate" bit somewhat, but the "dealing with the actual job" bit seemed to go well)

To cut a long story very short , when we first married and came up to Scotland to our derelict croft house we had no money Mrs RTB had no job wasnt claiming anything I transferred to Aberdeen branch 6 months before we paid for the property and was allowed to move in to try and sort it , well sort of 6 months living in a land rover ! but the steading was made fit for purpose with anything I could scrounge between shifts. However before I had got that far the managing director of the company I worked for wanted to come and see the croft , I tried to put him off , the house was devoid of electricity, plumbing , no phone and the one watertight room come "kitchen" ( only called that as it had a rayburn in it ) was also home to my newly purchased goat hence the straw on the floor !
Well that's the very short version.
Ps Kitchen fitted 8 years later.
PPs Everyone round here knew about it , my claim to fame , well one of them.
PPPs I could tell you abou......... maybe a new thread , one day.

Back from hospital with new baby for the 3rd time in his 11days! After a tounge tie snip, then an illness which led to several days stay with tons of blood tests, drips and a even a lumber puncture, he's on the mend.
Hopefully this is us home for good. Thanks to the NHS!
-
DRY weather, and could you get rid of the bird flu….i'm sorted with everything else…

-
Warm and dry waterproofs and wellies, the bird flu to have passed us by, a leak proof shed and a new kitchen sink.

That is so unfair of them. They know you have animals and should have checked first.

I had horrendous b#$}^?]$ of neighbours, so I can fully appreciate You wanting a hit man! They have now moved, but it's left me so mistrusting that for next Christmas I want to be in a new house with no neighbours
