    Hmm, a nice tour around the Greek islands (I remember seeing one advertised that visits archeological/old temple sites).. and when I'm debt free hubby and I are planning to move to Australia (which is where I'm from originally).

    I'd also like a new wardrobe (to fit the skinnier me at that point in time!), a new pc (well, I have a newish one now but by then it'll be older) and that is all I can think of right now. I guess I don't really need much more than I already have. :)

    A piano(second hand) and probably some slightly fancier notebooks to use as spending diaries.I am certain that another couple of years of frugal living and it will be a lifelong habit that I will not be able to shake.I am becoming allergic to spending money.

    I would like to travel abroad a little.Those bus tours look good.

    I've seen quite a few pianos on freecycle so keep your eyes peeled and you might have that treat sooner than you think!

    I want a new (used) car too. A little Ford KA just like the one that I sold in order to buy my flat.
    I'm also gonna start looking for a house with a garden. This is all going to be in about 4 years though :(
