Advantages: Happy people!
Disadvantages: Pie in the sky wishes ?
Number One - As this will be my first Christmas as a married woman, my number one wish is that my husband and I have a lovely relaxing day together, just the two of us. Yes, people have already told us how weird it is to want to be on our own, but that's the way we want it. Maybe next year things will be different, but for this one we'll do it our way! My wish would also be that I (or rather we) manage to cook a gorgeous meal without burning anything and that my hubby likes the presents I have bought him (me, paranoid, never!)
Number Two - I wish my bunny would stop getting ill. She's had floppy bunny syndrome (yes, that's the official name!) twice now and thankfully has recovered ok both times. When she gets it she loses all sense of balance and has no oomph at all. It's quite a scary thing to see her with it and I am sure it's not a lot of fun for her either. So if she could be a well bunny all the time then that would be grand.
Number Three - Clear skin. I'm 28 and still get the odd spot on my face. And I wish I didn't. 'Nuff said really!
Number Four - A new job. Not that I dislike the one I am in particularly, but I will be moving house soon and need to get a new job where we are going. And I hate interviews. I have to be one of the worst people at them. I should be quite good what with all the practice I have had, but no, I get to the interview and turn into a nervous wreck. So I guess my wish isn't so much for a new job but rather for a good opportunity and a nice interviewer. Like the one I had for this job. She was very laid back, made me a cup of tea and we chatted a little bit about the job and then as far as I can remember we talked about lots of non job related stuff too. Much easier than asking all sorts of difficult questions like 'So then, tell me about yourself'. Argh!
Number Five - I wish my next diet would work. Fortunately I don't like most of the traditional
Christmas food (mince pies, Christmas pudding, brandy butter, salted peanuts, etc) so don't get too tempted there, but I really need to lose theses bulges which I already have. I wish for the enthusiasm to get myself to the swimming pool or out for a long walk or bike ride (husband if you read this then you are very welcome to join me!) and also the willpower to not eat that extra cake or biscuit.
Number Six - Ever since I can remember I have wanted a remote controlled car. And deep down I still do. I thought when I passed my real driving test (which I did just over a year ago) that might change. But no, I still would like one. My husband and I found two we would like - an Audi TT for me and a Ferrari for him - but the silly people who make them made them both work on the same frequency so we could only get one if we did anyway. Which is a bit pants if you ask me.
Number Seven - Ok, next wish is for a real Audi TT. They are so adorable. I have had a picture of a TT in my purse for about the last two years - it was the inspiration to me finally taking my driving test again! Of course I know there is very little chance of me ever owning one and even if I could afford one I would probably buy something far more sensible, but the desire is always there. It would have to be black, or that really nice dark bluey green colour I have seen them in. Hmmm, vroom vroom!
Number Eight - I'd have to wish for Brian Cant to come and read me a story. I'm of 'that' age of person who will remember Brian Cant in his Playaway and Trumpton days. And while he was always old enough to be my dad, I still think he's ace and would love him to read me a story. If that's not possible then I guess the entire set of Camberwick Green videos would be a good compromise. :o)
Number Nine - a holiday in Egypt. I have always wanted to go there, but not when it's too hot. I think the sights would be awesome, and I always think it would b
e such a romantic place to be, especially in the evening, looking at the stars together? Oh, and there would have to be a camel ride in there somewhere, just for the experience!
Number Ten - finally I wish that Father Christmas was real. Seriously. I love the way kids are so excited when they still believe in him, and how awesome would it be knowing that every good kid in the world would wake up on Christmas morning to find a gift at the end of their bed. Even the most deprived children, the ones who are lucky to get a meal sometimes. Their gift would be just for them. Something special. In a society where children seem to think that they deserve hundreds of pounds worth of presents, can you imagine the joy of a child who has nothing just getting the one thing they wish for ? How cool would that be ?!
