Last year I was prepared for receiving what I like to call “bugger all” for Mother’s Day.
I asked that instead the dishes be done within 20 minutes, or divorce.
I didn’t get either.
So this year, I have made a much more tangible, easy to read Mother’s Day Wish List.
Easy to follow instructions, if you will.
For Mother’s Day. Sunday. The 13th May 2012.
Hint. Hint. Pal.
1. A coffee machine. Of any shape or size. As long as it makes me a coffee, I will love it.
2. A bread bin. That never runs out.
Like the Tim Tams ad.
But with bread.
I have a pretty good bread bin. But it keeps emptying itself too fast.
I realise this is more a “rub a lamp, get three wishes from a genie” kind of request.
It’s here because it’s just as likely as any other request I might make.
3. Some pretty wool for my new crocheting habit project.
Which I am working on secret squirrel style and hope to share with you soon.
4. Make up. Lime Crime.
I want ALL THE COLOURS!! (In my head those capitals sound like the kid from The Shining croaking out “Red Rum!”.
Or Gollum. From The Lord of the Rings.)
My precious…
Lime Crime Lipstick range and magic dust rainbow goodness!
5. This:
Asos Bag, Random piccolo wine
I also want all the obligatory cuddles.
And breakfast in bed.
And chocolates.
And new slippers.
And love and handmade cards and all that stuff.
But mostly, I want that bag full of wine…

What are you asking the magic genie for this Mother’s Day? Is the Genie likely to deliver?
And no, I will not accept any wishy washy, lovey dovey answers about quiet children or world peace.
Both are as likely as the other.
I just want a Bellabox subscription (and many other things, truth be told). But the BB would be a monthly gift that keeps on giving… Must write a blog post and post a link on A1′s Facebook wall as a double reminder!
Oh, and a long hot bubble bath with some wine and a sleep-in would be awesome!

I want a DSLR and I want it BADLY!!!! I’m trying to brace myself for disappointment though as unless I buy it myself, it won’t happen. Hubby is just hopeless in this department

I want to not have to change a nappy all day (and I’ll have 2 by this mothers day so there will be a lot more nappies to change).
I want to not be asked what’s for dinner or what should he feed the toddler for breakfast/lunch. I want him to feed the toddler breakfast and lunch without being prompted (read: nagged).
I want to finish a hot cup of tea without having to reheat it.
That is all.
I would LOVE all the painting in the house finished, so I don’t have to do it, but realistically it’s not going to happen.
Dinner cooked would be nice, but even better would be if the kitchen was cleaned up afterwards rather than me having to do it. Again who am I kidding.
So I’ll settle for a good bottle of wine, which I can probably ring and order from the local pub, so all hubby has to do is drop in and pick it up and pay for it, that’s a more realistic option, at least that way I’d get something I liked!

all quite reasonable in my books!
I want to not have to worry about doing everything for my own mum, which I know makes me sound incredibly selfish and ungrateful, but it’s true.

Nothing. I expect nothing. My kids buy me mugs all the time from the school mothers day fete. I do not want another mug so would rather get nothing.

A foot rub, and something that’s a thing, that says ‘hello i know you and love you appreciate you” It shouldn’t cost lotsa money, it should be pretty and creative in a very tasteful way…
And because I am a hater of stuff and impossible to please I’ll settle for not having to deal with my own mother and the foot rub…

Cool new t-shirts, I already ordered some myself to make sure they appear.
As a mom I love to receive precious gift from my kids. Any item cheap or expensive is just fine as long as it is come from my kids heart.
