In case you all hadn't noticed, Apprentice Tycoon has thanked everyone who's contributed to this thread (he must be offline or on another board as he has three to thank, at the moment).

This struck me as a lovely gesture. Perhaps we should reciprocate by thanking him (or her!) for such a thought-provoking post, in the first place.

Apprentice Tycoon's generosity has made me feel all warm & smiley - thank you AT

I'd buy a big house somewhere remote in the Lake District and run it as a kind of retreat/health farm/hotel.

Phones, TV, radios, computers (!), cars and children (sorry!) would be banned in favour of peace, calm, tranqulity and serenity. It would have an indoor swimming pool, sauna and gym, a roaring log fire in winter, a well-stocked library and wine cellar and the food would all be fresh and organic coming from the on-site kitchen garden/hens/goats/bees etc. As far as possible it would be run on environmentally-friendly principles.

Guests, who would come on a 'pay-what-you-can' basis would be encouraged to take long walks in the hills, help in the kitchen or garden, do yoga, meditate, paint, draw, write or just 'be'.

That's the sort of place that I would like to go to myself but I've never found one!!!!

I'm blushing at all these thank you's, if I ask a question I feel that I should thank anyone that takes the trouble to answer - I am a laydeeee too! (thanks Trafalgar)

I'd buy a new house somewhere, give some to my mum, go on holiday and put the rest away in a savings account.

Lyndsay_21

hmmmm i would

1) get out of this crappy council flat and would probably have to spend £500,000 just to get a decent house around here
2) pay off my mum and dads & OH's dads mortgage (MIL can rot in h**l)
3) pay off debts
4) go on a 6month holiday around the world
5) buy a new car for OH & me learn to drive
6) Do something really special with the kids
7) Send my mum and dad etc on holiday as they do loads for us and would be nice to repay them in some way.

god thats just what i can think of now theres so much i'd do i'd still be moneysaving like growing own veg, going to farmers markets (in brand new car) etc etc

MATH

OH PUUURLEEESE. I don't know if you lot are for real or not

I would not retian my Ol'Style ways for deffo. I'd stop cooking and employ a chef. Stop cleaning and employ a domestic army. Get in a nanny and see the kidz for an hour on Sunday afternoons:eek: and spend all day lying in bed scoffing choccies wrapped in £20 notes. - so there and no I don't wish for world peace or want to work with fluffy animals when I win the beauty pagent either;)

Nelski

Totally agree Math.

Its like reading a Miss world inverview!!!
think you will find I had no morales at all.................nothing new there then!!

Lillibet_2

Well done for being honest Math! (and entertaining!) I suspect most of us would really intend to retain some of our old style traditions but they would probably die out quite quickly beacuse what would the incentive be to keep them?
