Birthday Wishlist 2008 (Expired)

Thank you so much everyone for getting me things from my wishlist! Just letting you all know that this wishlist is now EXPIRED!

I know that there are several people who believe that the gift is not special if you buy something off a wishlist, but trust me, I would really love it if you do! I'd rather get something that I really like/want for my birthday! Sorry for sounding so spoilt :(

Note 1: PLEASE... PLEASE... PLEASE NO COSMETICS/BODY SHOP!!! I have too many of them at the moment, I don't need more!

Note 2: I am allergic to any metal other than silver or gold (or platinum? - not sure about this one)

Note 3: You can always post a comment saying that you've tagged an item with a pseudonym so that no one else will get the same thing as you! Things people already shot-gunned will be crossed out :P

Eeee! Another Jasper Fforde fan (or so I assume from your list). I can't find copies of his books with the original, painfully bright covers, but I will see if I can find you a hard copy. I will also get around to finding a host for the physoc forum - it would be good to have one that accepts formulae without jpeg-ing them, but no luck so far.
