Jenny in Florida Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Bird feeders to hang outside in front of the big window that my desk faces. We have butterfly plants in the front yard, and I love watching the butterflies flutter around. It occurred to me the other day that, if we added feeders, we might get birds, too. I would also like donations in my name to organizations I support, world peace and -- much trickier -- for my family to actually get along with each other for more than 10 minutes at a time.

TammyS Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 a push-button bacon dispenser :Da 10-liter Harsch fermenting crock a dryer (new or fixed) that doesn't squeal like an angry baby piglet stuck in a tilt-a-whirl What's on your list? This MIGHT be a fix for your dryer: If it's belt drive, the belt is probably what is squealing. Get dh to tighten up and loose drive parts and get some "belt dressing" from the auto parts store and spray on the belt. If this is the problem, it will cost about $3 and an hour to fix. If it's not, it won't hurt anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyS Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Someone, anyone, to cut my dogs freaking nails!! Totally mellow dog turns into Cujo when you try to cut her nails. New kitchen floor (which can't be done until said dog's nails are cut). :glare: Dishwasher. We've never had one. I want to experience the fights that I hear other families have about getting people to load dishwasher! :confused: I feel so left out!

Miss Marple Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) All I want is a Kitchen Clean-Up Fairy. Love to cook; hate to clean up. ETA: and a harp.

I know that because I mentioned it last year and my dh thought it was a weird request. But this year I'll have the boys work on him.

You just can't play the harp ugly - it's always beautiful! Another "selling" point is that playing (and listening to) the harp is very theraputic and calming, which is what every homeschooling mom needs to remain sane (mostly).

Wendi Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Fun question! I'd love some new Fiestaware pieces, walking/running shoes, another pair of cowboy boots (I'm hooked - now I want a pair of Fatbaby boots), purse, Kindle books gift card, Kindle Fire or other small tablet, workout clothes, another pair of TOMS.

Ghee Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Wow, I have a wish list that is miles long, but most of it isn't something I'll likely get. It's either fantasy stuff like huge, expensive trips or it's things that we don't really have to spend the money on (like new dishes, but mine are ok...ugly but ok LOL) If I were seriously writing a list: 1. Some books from my series. Several books from the various series, really... 2. New bedding. This should really be #1, because I'd like books better but we NEED new bedding :glare: 3. A new purse. I love the way my Sak *looks*, I hate the way it handles. It really is a sack, a huge bottomless pit and what I want is ALWAYS on bottom...
