If you could afford it......

Cleaner, gardener, lots of holidays all over the world and flying first class. Oh, and a cook would be good too. Would like to help dc with mortgages/extensions etc.

A personal trainer. If I felt a bit fitter, and could enjoy good food again, I would be fine. No other unfulfilled wishes. And I DO NOT want to travel.

How much is lots? if endless i would buy large areas of land and have any animal that needs a home with as many people to care for them as necessary in residence.This has always been my dream.

A house, not necessarily large, preferably with a thatched roof. It would have 3 or 4 acres, including a small woodland. A small part of it would be my garden, the rest would be for rescue animals, with pigs living naturally in the woodland.

I'd like a cleaner and a gardener. I'd also love to buy a holiday home by the sea, so that all the family can have breaks when they want them. I'd also like to have caterers come in to cook Christmas dinner this year.

Ooh! Stevej4491. It seems we have the same dream!

Extend the kitchen!! I need more work surfaces. We should have done it when we built the conservatory but it would be a major expense now.
Then travelling. I'd visit every Greek Island.

I'd buy a cottage in North Wales, with a large garden for chickens, some geese and a huge plot to grow my own veg. I'd then buy books, then more books, then add an extension on the cottage for a library, where I'd have a huge comfy chair to curl in with a book! I'd also have a butler to serve me coffee and quavers crisps whenever I wanted them. I'd have to have someone in to do the ironing (a job I loathe)... I might even invite the Welsh Blokey (my DH) to join me

Steve and Stella me too.

Same as m0nica - I'd love to have a slightly larger house with one room dedicated to my obsession - books, books, books. A reclining chair for me to sit back and read.
I'd also have a slightly bigger garden with a wide path down the centre (York paving?) and herbaceous borders on each side. A summer house at the end with trellis and climbing roses, honeysuckle etc. Paradise.

I would love to pay off the grandkids uni debts and give them a decent deposit for a home to buy rather than rent then donate the rest to the political party which strives the most for fundamental change to our society of poverty homelessness and greed.

So many good ideas, but without a doubt I would have underwear, especially bras, and shoes hand made to fit properly.

clothes and shoes, especially if they are in a sale love a bargain.would be nice to get one thing that is expensive.

I would retire! I'm self-employed and will probably have to work until I drop, but I'd love to have the freedom and financial means not to have to work. So many things to do and explore.....!

Seems there are a lot of Nerja fans on here. Who'd have thought!! Yes the Balcon de Europa is breaktaking. Frigiliana (small village in the hills above Nerja is even more stunning. I've been all over Spain and speak a small amount so we always try to go to more 'local' places. Cup of coffee in Frigiliana was 40 cents for example!

Travelling more than I do these days, and I do a lot. Most important, a house in Cornwall, I wouldnt want any more!

Grannyticktock lucky you, you enjoy it and your family will too, especially the teens will love it. Good for you for sharing.

Diddy we think the same way. After having dozens of holidays in Cornwall I've always dreamed of a house with sea views near Tintagel, so I could see the fabulous sunsets every day. I would live there half the year and have all the family visiting it whenever they wanted. Four or five bedrooms would do. I don't want to be greedy!

Mines is probably the place I was thinking about. Don't think I've been to Nerja then and shall not be going now. Will never fly again.

Same here Monica. Books. But most of all I would spend it on my son with pleasure. I'd love to buy him a house.

A house by the sea. Ideally in Cape Town but since I wouldn't like to be away from my kids and grandkids it would have to be in Scotland. Although I guess if money were wishes I could have a beautiful holiday home by the sea in Cape Town as well as one here!

I was going to say have the downstairs of our house remodelled, move the kitchen, put in patio doors and have a nice dining/seating area so we can look out onto the garden, but after reading other posts I've changed my mind, I want a house by the sea!!

If money was no object, we would get a contractor in to rebuild our bathroom, including the indoor and outdoor drains. And I dream of a gardener as I enjoy housework but loathe gardening.

I'm with the book people - you can never have enough books, can you?

A flat in Rome and one in Vienna to pop down to, whenever we wanted AND one in Marseille - A country house in Spain with a sanctuary for Iberian wild cats in conjunction with a Spanish university's veterinary students.

A vintage Rolls Royce with red Rs - from before Royce died and the logo went into mourning for DH and a Morgan for me.

Support for girls' schools and training colleges in India and Africa and scholarships for their brothers as well.

A villa on every inhabited Greek Island .(227 in total)
Each with a well stocked bar and library. Heaven!

I would have a cleaner, gardener and a chauffeur. I would have the house decorated, not by me. I would probably have a cook and housekeeper to buy all the necessities. I would lie back and read, read and read. More bookshelves required so a handyman. I would like to buy the sun if possible to shine on me lying in my beautifully tended garden. Not a possibility but a pleasant thought.
