I got a flashlight/torch last year for christmas. It has a magnet and copper wire. It's really cool, you just shake it and push the button. No batteries! I got it at a warehouse outlet. It was $3 and has been used everynight for almost a year.

Simple things amuse simple minds.

Jack Sparrow and POTC stuff. A 2007 Greyhound calendar. More POTC and Jack Sparrow stuff. More Greyhound stuff. Stuff for Jenny, too.

We have one like that too...it's called an eternity flashlight. It never wears out. But I hate it. You are fine as long as you shake the crap out of it but damn if you are in real need of a flashlight who is gonna sit there and shake the thing vigorously for 1 minute or more every ten minutes so the light doesn't fade????

THATS IT!!! lol.... Thank you! I am glad you love yours. I think it will help. I like a clean house, but need to feel like I am getting something done ..

Randi- things like black socks or a flashlight (or torch

) doesn't sound too expensive.

Some days alone with Siegmar and the kitties and no catastrophes and no action and lots of sleep- that's the only thing I want.
Wait a minute- add some red wine

Well, the flashligt/torch? I'm thinking about, is a quality one. I noticed one my cousin had when we visited his summer house years ago, located in a wood. I think it could have been one of those military ones. It was really good!

Oh, now I know what a Swiffer is, I've seen them in bigger supermarkets - but aren't they quite unhandy to use? And you have to put new cloths on all the time anyway. Well, I use a bucket with water and Ajax and a cloth and that cleans the floor!

Barbara, I want the same things - only my family expect me to tell them things they can put under the tree.

However, I'll join you in a glass of redwine and think some more about it.

Your list sounds good!

I never get gifts on the day...my mom & dad usually just send me a little money, my friends and I exchange gifts before hand, and my husband can never wait till Christmas, if we do exchange gifts.

I didn't ask for anything, but I already got gifts my family, a few of my friends, my husband, coworkers, and a lot of my piano students. I feel pretty lucky! I don't usually care about getting anything- if I really like it, I'll buy it for myself...if I can't afford it, chances are no one else will get it for me!
