It seems that the family Virgos have come up with the VGIs again. The Christmas list is SUCH a good idea, and if you make it broad enough, then you still have no idea what Christmas might bring, nor from whom. I’ve pinched Julia's format as it seems to encompass most areas.

I am quite happy for you to give my present to a charity......my personal favourites are NSPCC, Save The Children, WWF
I only included the 'don't bother' bit, as I would hate for you to spend time and energy on something I will never use. For example, I have a box FULL of jumpers and woollies of all sorts..hate them all, I am rarely cold enough!! I often used to buy them as I liked the look, and then they go in the box.......
Love you all.........
