Things I have consistently wanted and consistently forgotten to buy:

5 years: 1 tiny screwdriver, to loosen the metal bands around my smashed glass cafetiere
3 years: 1 hot water bottle, gave my last one away
10 years: Pale Saints ‘The Comforts of Madness‘, my (actually, Mike’s, cough, ahem) last one got stuck in Sam Hull’s CD player and as far as I know, it’s still there
1 1/2 years: set of teaspoons to match my lovely David Mellor rest of set, as bought for me by Emily on my 30th birthday
2 months: boxes to archive old photos
3 years: bath mat
8 months: black umbrella
6 years: a decent bloody bread knife


If anyone would like to lend (permanent basis only), or buy any of the above, do let me know. If anyone would like to tell me how to get my arse into gear and just buy them, do also let me know.
