  • I have thought of another indulgence that would be lovely to have - a personal chef. I do not enjoy cooking and it would be soooo nice to have lovely, healthy meals for myself and my family. My 9 year old might pack up telling family and friends we visit "oh mummys shepherds pie (for example) isn't like this, hers is much more crunchy" His cute kid way of describing burnt bits.

    Oh what a damn fine idea! I'll have one too. I'll be thin in no time if someone else is feeding me. :D

    - buy one of those houses/cabins by a lake you see in American movies, with a jetty, surrounded by forest.

    I really can't understand those people who would go back to work when they wouldn't have to. Madness!!!

    My sister's boyfriend's parents have one of those (theyre Canadian). Its nice we stayed there last year, but you do have to suffer several thousand mozzie bites. So its not all great :rotfl:And you know what,it is a little creepy at night. And you never know when a bear could roam about!

    Me either - why bother playing! And the ones who even worse, say they will continue doing their boring job, AND continue to buy lottery tickets!

    As for me, Id buy a million dollar mansion in Hawaii and live there!

  • At least while we all patiently wait to win we can fine tune what we will do with the money ;) Very MSE when you think about it because we wont make expensive mistakes by making unwise purchases.

    Hmmmm I have not only seen those machines, I know someone who has used them. My sister in the laziest person on the planet and they are the answer to her fitness prayers.

    I have tried convincing her of the benefits of just going for a run or bike ride by ones self but she thinks I am mad. She is truly certifiable but a damn sight fitter than me grrrrrr.

    That's interesting. Where did your sister use them? I'm surprised that if they actually work, that there aren't more "gyms" offering them.

    :rotfl:I love the way you can justify this. :D

    Well I'm off to bed now. All this thinking has tired me out.

    I seriously expect to come back in the morning telling you all I had a dream about lottery numbers. Needless to say I will put a pen and paper right next to the bed. Just in case. :D

    Night all. :)
