Scramble Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I would then buy us a smallholding with lots of space for my little girls to dust bathe to their little hearts content. I would have a lovely, massive run built by aviaries4u and rescue lots of lovely baldy ex-batts and lavish attention on them all day every day as I would be a lady of leisure. I would buy hubby a massive, state of the art polytunnel with watering systems and everything and make it hen proof so that my girls couldn't nick his tomatoes and cucumbers. This is more or less what I want now-a-days too. Am kinda hankering after a lottery win which would allow us to up-sticks and get an acre or two to really do The Good Life without having to leave my magic kingdom every day to bring home the umm bacon! BTW Cinnamon - if you get an iPhone it will deal with your music AND eReader in one machine I bought one for myself a couple of weeks ago (it was easy to justify it!) and went out on Tuesday and bought my assistant one too - she has already installed an eReader with loads of books so she doesn't have to take books away on holidays with her Ooh that sounds great!

Jillus Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I want my little white dove to come out of the chimney alive. Alas I do not think it is going to happen. I also want a pair of Jimmy Choos, another Radley handbag and some Chanel No 5 Soap, easily pleased ! ( This is my Christmas list just in case my sons are reading this thread.) Realistically, the nearest I am going to get to jimmy Choos is trying them on in Jenners! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I would like enough money to give up work forever and move to Trinidad (lovely Caribbean island outside the hurricane zone) taking my cats and hens with me. We could go by boat, then we wouldn't be stressed on a flight, and we could take as long as we liked to get there. More realistically, I would like to be in a job I enjoyed where I was actually valued and appreciated, and that paid more than this one. I'm already regretting my commitment to pay half the school fees for my brother's children - there's 4 of them, with 3 started their new fee-paying school a couple of weeks ago. Many more years to go. Why, oh why, did I say I'd do this? ... And I'd like my 2 little freeloaders to start laying eggs again, so we can catch up with the backlog of boxes waiting to be filled (How about having the ability to stop time just for a little while? When people really annoyed you, you could stop time, tell them exactly what you think of them and get it all out of your system, before starting time again. I'd be less stressed and they'd never hear a thing - and I'd probably very quickly think of more creative uses for time-stopping ) OK dreamtime over, back to being a wage-slave ...

Olly Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Sadly I can't help with most of those ... but have you tried Duo Boots? They're designed for, er, traditionally built ladies (of whom I am one) and they really do fit. Not cheap but well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Dipalomo wild fig and grape eau de toilette. An engagement ring I can live with forever. A wedding dress. A wetsuit. Wardrobes. Driving lessons. A ginger-sized dulcimer. Patio pots. A swimming pond. An eglu cube and massive run. I'll get the top four probably this year.

Not so much Beirut as specialist - you can specialise in robbery with violence, pure violence or, if you show real aptitude, the advanced import/export trade . As all of my brother's children are quite intelligent but easily led, I could understand why the local schools might not be the best choice and, in a generous mood one day, I offered to pay half of the fees to send them somewhere decent. However I was expecting the eldest ony to go in September and without consulting me brother and siste-in-law decided to send the twins as well (probably because I was paying half ). Most of the time I don't regret it, as they will inherit all my wordly debts one day and it seemed a better plan to let them have some of it while they can benefit, but when there's too much month left at the end of the money, I do sometimes wonder at my sanity (or lack of it) ...

Janty Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Oh yes...and I would extend my huge shoe collection by buying more crocs in all colours and styles. I would like a shoe collection! It sort of crept up on me. Size 3s are often in the sale and I'm a sucker for a bargain. I did recently have a clear out but we still reckon that there is close to 120 pairs upstairs (I built myself a shoe rack that holds 80 pairs ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
