My wants, etc. are pretty much the same as last year. However, if you'll just pop around to 33 Bruton Street, London, W1J 6HH, and look over their stock I'm sure you'll find one of their wood and metal art objects that would please me. |

02 Nov 15 - 03:24 PM (#3748178) Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa wish list 2015 From: Anne Lister I'm going to step away from the questions and simply say that I'm interested in stories and music from you and wherever you are (unless you're next door to me, in which case I probably know all about it). I'm also interested in recipes. T shirt size would be XXL although I'm aiming to change this in time. I love earrings but they would need to be real silver or real gold to avoid allergic reactions. Good coffee is always welcomed (if you're in the US we love Peets) as is good chocolate (but not Hershey's, I'm afraid, or Dairy Milk). I'm ridiculously easy to please. Really. |
