What Are You Hoping to get for Xmas?

[Mesquite]

As the title says what present/s are you hoping to find Santa has left you wrapped up under your Xmas tree?

Mine is simple, just Amazon vouchers so I can get exactly what I want. This year I'll be getting some extra Dewalt 18v XR batteries

Well, Father Christmas had asked me to send links to a few things I would otherwise have bought myself in the last month or so. I am hoping he will be stopping by Heinnie in his sleigh.

Tent pegs,
I still can't find mine.

Footwear. Mine are literally falling to bits on my feet. I have wide feet though, so only certain stuff (online) work for me. Merrells are quite wide fitting, and i've enjoyed them this last 2 years, so that's the request!

I’ll get what Father Christmas brings me and I’ll be happy. I wouldn’t mind a new FX DRS Carbine with a Leupold MK4 riding on top, an Arctic Trucks Hilux and me own woodland though

Am I the only one who genuinely gets excited by socks? Good, thick, high quality wool rich socks.... Yes please, relatives!

Nothing overly exciting for me, new set of porcelain salt and pepper pots for the dining room table, a manual carpet sweeper, so i can at least try and do some housework, rather than having to wait for someone to come in, figure a manual one i might be able to use in conjunction with crutches, won't be easy, but easier than trying to get the hoover out and plug it in which is impossible for me at present, and a new cap.

Edit: A Victorinox Forester

I use the wee Dyson. It just fits back into it's cradle in the cupboard, charges itself and it's always ready to use.

Lots of different companies make them; they're lightweight, easy to use and easy to store. Lot of cheap special offer versions available at present too.

Even when things were really bad I managed with this. Just keep the filters cleaned and they do very well.

The big hoover I just cannot manage easily anymore...well, I couldn't....and fighting the cable all the time was an exercise in frustration.
The re-chargeable wee one makes life easy.

Best of luck with it

I want a cat.

But I am not sure I will be in a situation to have a cat.

One of the places I am looking at faces onto an A class road.

My hopes are at getting some of the old "wink wink nudge nudge".

Trail cam.
But I know I have got this as Madame authorised me to buy it from Danceswithhelicopters of this parish. Another good buy through BCuk!

Tent pegs,
I still can't find mine.

I found them!!!
Missing for about 8 months, where did I find them? Wrapped up in my down sleeping bag. How on earth that happened I have no idea. No wonder I couldn't find them!
I'm usualy very particular how I pack my gear and check it all through before I leave site, and again when I get home. Everything checked before i pack up for the next venture. I knew I hadn't left them behind last time.got the down bag out to air in this glorious sunshine, and there they were. It has been a perplexing conundrum for months. No idea how i missed that one. finaly solved. Hurrah!

I’d have bought a new set by now, and then doubled up in case I lost those

I have got new ones, so now have two sets for the smokey hut!
Tent pegs are always useful, so no big deal, ..apart from the frustration of them dissappearing for months despite repeated searches.
