Dear Santa,

I know we’re only in November, yes, NOVEMBER, as in the month before Christmas… but as 2009 has gone so quickly, I’m assuming the next month will do so too, so I wanted to give you all enough time to go out and find my dream Christmas present….

Fair enough I’ll be lucky if I get a piece of old bread out of anyone this Xmas but I’m hoping my mum / stepsister / housemate or Vivienne Westwood will take an interest in my life and have a peep at what I do for a living.

To be honest, my mum thinks the World Wide Web involves a huge spider like the one that wraps Frodo up in during the Lord Of The Rings – Return Of The King, so she’s out, but Antonia, you have no excuse….

The Music – Biffy Clyro – Only Revolutions

Anyone who knows me will be aware that Biffy, Nightwish and A Day To Remember are my three musical weaknesses, and as The Biff’s new album comes out on November 9th I would like to say I’d be at HMV buying it right away, but I’m impoverished, so I’ll probably be queuing up outside Greggs for a sausage roll and coffee (I can’t afford Starbucks in this climate)

The Movie – PS I Love You

I know this is going to make me sound like an utter girl (considering that I usually hate love stories and only really watch war / thriller & action films) but I need PS I Love You in my life!

I used to live with the movies writer here so I had unrivalled access to her four massive cases of Check Disk’s that our faithful PR’s send out every week; but now that she’s gone, so have Gerard Butler and Harry Connick Jnr… as well as my hopes that not all the men on the planet will break my heart. Or die.

The Bling – Vivienne Westwood Orb Necklace

Why do I feel the need to buy into this whole designer label trend? I have absolutely no idea, but I am OBSESSED with this necklace, not quite as much as that guy from Big Brother 10, but still, if I had the cash, I would 100% be treating myself to one of these this year… unfortunately my little car needed some TLC whis month, so its onto finding someone else to do the deed….

The Car – Citroen C3

Speaking of my car… oh my beloved little Ford Fiesta named Ron Burgandy, I do love him more than glitter and bags, but I think it’s about time to send him to the little scrapyard in the sky and treat myself to a set of hot wheels.

Now, I’m not going to ask for a Porsche, Lotus or a Lamborghini (as I know my racing driver husband will buy me one of those when I find him), so I’m wanting a practical city car, and this is the car I passed my test in, so I’m thinking it’s a sign that I have to have one?

The Shoes – Christian Louboutin

Who else? I love shoes, I don’t know what it is with me… I hardly ever go out, so I have no need for 30 pairs of shoes in my bedroom, but I just can’t get enough of platforms… if I’m honest, with all the money I’ve spent on shoes which look identical over the years I probably could have afforded some of these. Saving never was my strong point…

The girls in the office know how I have a crush on a different celebrity every month (last month we had Robert Pattinson – for obvious reasons) but one man who had made me drool on this year’s Sunday afternoons has been F1 driver Sebastian Vettel.

I mean, I usually like men covered in tattoos and prancing around with a guitar, but he is just GORGEOUS, and he can drive. Okay, so I can drive, but he can really driiiiiive… I’ve even become a Marshal at Oulton Park in the hope of finding my own Vettel (Ahem, Victor Cox anyone….?) and obviously because I love motorsport! But just in case I don’t get to next years Grand Prix… call me!

Thanks Santa,

Ruth….xx
