If you could afford it......

...what " things" would you spend lots of money on?
I'd probably spend on travel and food, but can't think of " stuff" I'd like.
I have friends who spend on handbags, shoes, jewellery, books, and cosmetics, but none of these appeal to me.
What's your weakness?

My weakness is travel, I love travel and nearly all my spare money goes on it. We have been to some lovely places, my favourite being New Zealand, two months in a motor home, amazing experience.

Obviously look after family
Go back to my roots with cattle and farm
Horses, horses and more horses (for different disciplines.)

You and my DDiL (and grandaughters) would get on just fine GrandMareS .

Like Prince Phillip once said of princess Anne "If it doesn't fart and eat hay she's not interested" grin

My little grandson missed being born in a stable by minutes as DDiL was still mucking out well into the last throes of labour.

Isn't it funny how many of us would like to have fresh, crisp, clean bed linen every day? Put on by somebody else of course! I would like also to have more dental work done, can't afford what I really need in terms of extensive bridging and implants, BUT, what I would really like is to be gently put to sleep and wake up with all the dental work done, no pain, all sorted. Wake up in crisp, clean, linen, with a mouthful of painless implants, in a bed overlooking some rugged coast somewhere.....

A house by the sea so I could lie in bed and listen to the waves...

DH's dream is to have a house on a cliff so that he can watch the sea .....

I'd like a bungalow in a quiet spot, a nice low maintenance garden and be near or in a small friendly village
