Hi all just wondered what people had at the top of there balloon Christmas list.
(Book, pump, dvd, pdf. etc) I have just had to put a new trolley case at the top of mine, when I am doing jobs up London and I go on the train, I use a trolley case as I like to be prepared (I know I take to much but I feel more relaxed if I know I am prepared). Well I was working up London with graham at the weekend and just after coming out of the gig the wheel came of my case, that I have had for about 10 years and believe me carrying all I take is hard work. (Thanks Graham for the help getting to the station).

So what is top of your list and is there a reason why?

Not really to do with balloons but I now need a new headset 'bodypack'. One of the small pins in the connection went on mine yesterday. I had a handheld as back up but not the same!!! I'm waiting for the shop to open at 9.30 to see if they'll post a new one ASAP and then I'll send this back to get fixed.

These things always seems to happen at your busiest time!!!!!!!!!!!

tell me about it Graeme - I have a big Christmas gig on Saturday - my star cloth has gone kaput and one of my VHF mics gave up the ghost last night - ordered both on line when I got home, and I'm now hoping they will arrive in tomorrow otherwise I'll need to think up a plan B

Christmas wish? Time to really study the balloon CDs / DVDs I've already got

Nothing to do with balloons,
But a ps3 for me    blue ray films here we come..... Oh wait.. no HDTV.. yet!

Once I get the ps3, its an excuse for a new tv. Hope they go down in january sales!

Can't afford anything this Christmas so my list is nothing.  But that isn't so bad.  As long as I have people I love here I am happy.  We might splash out on a bottle of wine.

If we're talking about balloon related Christmas gifts, what I'd like is to get a regular balloon jam started in Northern Virginia (near Washington, DC). I know, I know: this is a UK list and the travel is a bit far for most of you. If you come over here, though, let me know and we'll twist some critters.

All I want thats balloon related is a filbert pump, I aim to get one before easter at least. Can't get one yet as my wife has other priorities for my money. She seems to think paint for the house is a much better investment.

I can tell you what I don't want for Christmas! Twistopher informed me that he was thinking of getting me a vacuum cleaner  but  luckily he got a bit confused as to which one I would like?!!! MEN!!!

I've bought MrsFairby a step ladder (It helps her when she is painting ceiling) and RegerisVitalift for a youthful look. I'm dying to see her face light up on xmas morning.  

I want a one touch tin opener as the tin opener i have only works for the wife :?:

I would like some more balloon dvd's and the time to watch and learn them  

no chrismas for us this year

What we both really wanted for Christmas was to get to a Balloon event where we could see Don Caldwell lecture as we were not able to get to the jam with you all earlier this year.  So now Graham has stood in for Santa and made that wish come true our Christmas will be perfect.  Now i just need to sort out my hols so the next jam is not missed also.

THANKS Graham

Merry Twistmas to everyone and a Balloontastic New Year
