Maddy, I always enjoy getting a voucher for a back massage, a facial or a pedicure (all 3 if you can afford it ;D ;D).  I also like vouchers on different shops so that I can choose my own clothes but most of all, I love being invited to DD's home for a lovely  meal that I haven't had to cook myself.  I only have the apple peeler on my list this year, the rest will be a surprise.

I have asked for the boxed DVD set of Jamie Oliver at home.  I love watching them and want to have them to keep.   :)

What a great idea Lara. I have a birthday just before Mothers' Day so have to think twice. I am rather stuck really.  Maybe a second TMX bowl, or a raised vegie garden or a voucher for lots and lots of books.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

  :D :D :D I'd take a guess and say you are not a city slicker Lara - hope you get what you want.

I like Lara's list. If not, then a Bunnings Voucher!

But really, I'd just love it if all my family would be here for a wonderful family lunch.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Last year, I made a batch of TMX Fudge (fabulously fine and delish), batches of biscuits made up a little hamper with some bought choccies. This year I will probably do the same and add a bedroom deodoriser as well.

LOL Judy,

I'm trapped on a suburban block of 810 8km's from the CBD.  I would love a few acres but the husband won't go rural!

well  I would honestly like:

1.  a ticket for a holiday
2.  some spending money inside the card
3.  a brand new wardrobe of co-ordinating clothes
4.  a garden makeover
5.  some original paintings on the walls

(sigh) and (another sigh)

well if someone washed and vacumed my car   :o  :o  :o I would be happy to cross the above off for this year

I'd like MrsT to bring me breakfast in bed as I do it for her every other Sunday morning.  :-)) :-))


Guess the presents I'd want are not likely to reflect what Mothers would want.  :o :o :o
