    I want a new roof as it was repaired last year and now rains in again.

    New bathroom suite, it really is tatty and many, many years old.

    A new boiler which might be more economical on gas as ours is years old.

    A flat stomach, firmer bottom and arms, maybe liposuction.

    A new garage, that rains in too.

    Maybe we should just move.

    Yeah good idea jen-perhaps tell her that you have had a few more questons about it so you have decided to let the auction run.

    hey moneymabel,

    before I had my lightbulb I wanted a campervan / canal-houseboat to escape to. I've kind of let go of the campervan idea as really just need a newer car that doesnt cost £200 each time it goes near a garage :rolleyes: but I still really really really want a canal-houseboat as used to live on one pre DDs & still mourn & yearn for that lifestyle :( .

    It's in the back of my mind that when debt gone, so saving for boat begins but havent 'come out ' til now so maybe your thread will help keep me motivated now :T

    You gotta have dreams or what's the point ?
    Here's to chalets, boats & escapism :beer:

    That's all, debt free and able to do what I want when I would like, instead of ALWAYS, always, having to think how much.
