Can I just point out that it is only two weeks until my birthday? If Hubby ever read this blog (which he doesn’t), he would probably be aware that to make me the happiest bunny in Bunnysville he only has to purchase a trifling KitchenAid blender (ooooh, the pink one!!), or a nice Francis Francis coffee machine (I know I hate coffee but they’re sooooo cool), or a nice four-slice Dualit toaster or..oh, hang on, I can feel a top ten list coming:

What I would like for my birthday in an ideal world (in no particular order):

1. A pink Nokia 7360 (sorry, big R, I know you work for Motorola!)
2. A pink KitchenAid blender (okay, a cream one then)
3. A pink Dualit toaster (hmmm..there’s a theme developing here)
4. A big, huge pile of Clarins stuff (I’m not fussy, it’s all good)
5. Scented candles (Jo Malone preferably, but again not fussy)
6. Books (currently into John Harvey, but anything where someone gets murdered does it for me)
7. Cookery books (but obviously not anything I’ve already got). Quite fancy Kevin Dundon’s ‘Full on Irish’ and Bill Granger’s got a new one out too
8. Nice underwear (nothing in that horrible satin that you catch your fingernails on and absolutely nothing in red..yuck..and none of that lace that - look away now family - shows your nipples..ew)
9. My Mum to be here
10. And Louis said he’d quite like a bone, please

I obviously didn’t go for the real fantasy items like diamonds, Chloe handbags, Caribbean holidays or a new Land Rover Discovery 3 - (the TDV6 HSE in Lugano Teal please) - no point in going mad, eh? I do admit to being slightly difficult in the pressie department. Poor Hubby, I have to say, once bought me a bread maker for my birthday when the kids were little and I was so hurt and furious I don’t think I even ever took it out of the box (it got donated to the school raffle as I remember). The funny thing is, I’d be delighted to get one now, but then I felt it was insultingly ‘housewifey’. Funny creatures us women, eh?
