What Women Want...
Well, this one, at least. For my birthday.
As was the case at Christmas, I really can't think of anything really big I would want anyone to get me. Unless they're someone really close to me (like my husband, my mom, my brother, etc.) and they happened to become obscenely wealthy overnight. Then I would like a nice big stand at Helderfontein or a similar lifestyle estate near the Kyalami Castle, and the funds with which to build my own home. And a car that's big enough for my whole family to fit in comfortably.
In the meantime, I'll settle for any of the following:
* Lindt champagne truffles
* Lindt Lindor balls
* Movie tickets
* Some nail polish in assorted pretty colours and some nail polish remover
* A pair of pretty *closed* shoes, suitable for the office but that could also double up for a dressy night out...
* A bodyglove for my iPhone
* Some Sally Williams nougat - I like the one with macadamia nuts best
* To have my ears pierced, so that I can wear some of these gorgeous earrings I've had for years now, and never worn...
* Any type of pamper treatment - a facial, a massage, a wax, mani, pedi...?
* An intimate dinner with hubby, with all the whistles and bells;Music, wine, Wine, music, flowers, candle light and a full 3-course meal, followed by a nice long walk and talk
* An orchid for my bathroom
* Some sexy underwear, now that young James is no longer on the boob 24/7
... Am I sounding incredibly greedy yet?
Oh, well. No harm in dreaming, right?

That sounds like a reasonable list! So whens the party!
Oh I love the houses in Helderfontein, anywhere in the Bridle Pass - it is the only thing that keeps me sain while driving to work :)
Happy almost birthday :)
Laura - A bunch of friends are going to the Red Room on Saturday, 29 Jan. You're most welcome to join us!
Alet - Thank you! Yes, I'm hoping that, by the end of this year, we will be in a position to buy a stand in the newly launched Helderfontein Estate development by Century Property Developments. The stands are huge and the architectural style is Southern African contemporary, as opposed to all that pseudo Tuscan shit you tend to see in the Northern suburbs of Johannesburg...
I don't think you sound greedy at all. Those are all stuff you can get from your family members alone ;)
Your list sounds very reasonable and do-able! :) And you've got more than enough options to satisfy anyone's pocket.
Great list - and I am a Sally Willimas fan too!
Birthday lists are completely allowed and can be as elaborate and extravagant as you want them to be!!
:P
Oh how I wish I could make a list. But since I never get any birthday presents that would be a pointless exercise and just make me more miserable being able to see on black & white what I know I won't be getting.
Your list is totally modest and doable.
I especially like the Lindt items and the bathroom orchid. Nothing like sitting on the crapper staring at the prettiest flower on earth.
Hehehe. Thanks for the invite to your party, unfortunately The Jew and I are already booked to go away that weekend.
xx
definitely a reasonable list - and makes birthday shopping so much easier for me....so thanks!
looking forward to celebrating your birthday with you xx
Hey a girl can dream can't she? :)
You do not sound greedy at all
Sally Williams Rocks my face off.
