Advantages: My life will be fulfilled

Disadvantages: I'll be 'Worth it' again.

Every year, mum calls to ask in no subtle terms what she should rush out and buy me. Most years, I pull the list from my pocket and reel off some brand names and the best place to get them for the least ammount of cash.

This year, something's changed.

I've had a career casebook sent from Satan. No money, no self esteem and no lucky breaks.

so, Number one on my christmas list...

1) A decent job, please.

I have in excess of 50 letter saying how great I sound but how, unfortunately, on this occassion, due to the overwhelming response, I will die a lonely and unfulfilled life, with my details still 'on file' in case anything suitable should come up in the foreseeable future.

2) A Hair Do.

I can't kid myself any longer. Sun-in, lemons, wash-in, wash-outs have all tried their best to prolong the illusion that I'm a natural blonde. Suddenly I realise that there is no getting away from it - no matter how I part my hair - I have an almighty black V-shape at the back of my head. My appearance has transformed from Jennifer Aniston, stunt double to single mother of five, living on benefit in temporary lodgings. This must change. If I look like that - I will become it. If I change, so will my life. Fingers crossed.

3) A car.

I have believed that it is only a matter of time before I win a car, too long. By the time I can afford one - I'll be too old to get into it. The time is now!

4) Skin care.

Same theory - by the time I can justify spending money on my face - it will be past saving. I want to look great in my prime - not just good for my age in my golden years! Give me Clinique, Clarins, prescriptives, Mac - I want pretty bottles!

5) Clothes

Ditto. The only clothes I've got left that are in good order, just happen to be brown - I'm not kidding! So, I'm either in scruffs or swanning around looking like a smart tree. r><br>
6) Healthy food

Again. I believe the last thing you should scrimp on is health. I want someone to squeeze oranges for me instead of taking my one a day vitamins. I want carrots peeled and avocado prepared as snacks, so I don't keep going down the biscuits.

7) A ticket to go and see my new neice in Australia. I'm the youngest of our entire extended family - so have never actually known a baby - seriously!

8) A St. Tropez Tan

I've never been brown. I fancy giving it a whirl.

9) A Photography Darkroom - so I can start my own business if that job doesn't work out.

10) A new zip for my favourite coat. I have forgotten to, then not been bothered, then not been able to go without it, for nearly a year. If someone could just magic my coat away to be back in time for breakfast - that'd be just grand!

Lastly, I'd like to congratulate anyone who bothered to read that. I haven't the fainest idea why it would interest anyone to know what I want for christmas or how bad a year I've had - but boy do I feel better for writing it! Damn it - I'm going to achieve every darn one of those things next year - you just see if I don't!

UPDATE: BY JAN 27TH, I HAVE ACHIEVED THE FOLLOWING: HIGHLIGHTED HAIR - (NO ROOTS NOW! WAHEY!); NEW CLOTHES IN THE SALE (A BEAUTIFUL JOSEPH JUMPER FOR 80% OFF, A BRIGHT OLIVE TOP AND SOME SASSY JEANS).

A CAR! YES REALLY - I'VE CALLED IN SOME FAVOURS AND HAD LUCK GO MY WAY SO I'LL BE THE PROUD OWNER OF A FORD KA BY FEB 1ST! SECOND HAND BUT VERY LOVELY.

WINDFALLS SO FAR INCLUDE A TAX REBATE THAT I'VE WAITED TWO AND A HALF YEARS FOR; TWO SMALL BUT PERFECTLY FORMED PREMIUM BOND WINS, A SHARE DIVIDEND AND A PROFIT FROM THEN SELLING THE SHARES!


AS I SAID BEFORE, THIS IS THE YEAR THAT EVERYTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN...

SO FAR, ALL IS GOING TO PLAN.

will update for my own amusement lat
