bugshaw at 10:54am on 07/02/2006A Thing I Want but Do Not Have
A sturdy four-way cradle for my (small) plethora of electronic devices which need to be recharged frequently. There aren't many, just a phone and a PDA and a camera, but I have to search for three free sockets, and plug them in separately, then they sprout strangely from my walls like odd technogrowths in a cyberpunk movie. A compact multi-cradle would be good, that I could keep permanently plugged in, and just place the gadgets in their respective slots. I'd always know where they were, and they would never run out of electricity and die on me (I have so much trouble remembering that a PDA, unlike a paper notebook, wipes its contents if you leave it alone for a week).
A Thing I Have but Do Not Want
A tiny jar of moisturiser, with an even tinier opening at the top. Usually I would dab my fingertip into the jar and come out with a blob of moisturiser for my face, but that's not happening here, no sirree Bob. I have to poke my finger in, crook it round, and do lots of acute-angled jabbing and scraping to get anything out. It's messy and fiddly and probably unhygienic, but the skin under my fingernails is beautifully soft and smooth. Grrr.
