    I would like:

    A sailing dinghy for OH
    A motor home
    A holiday to the Maldives
    A house with a long hallway and a seperate dining room with a flat garden
    A flat tummy
    A backside that doesn't wobble
    A ample sized chest cause I'm not blessed in that department

    that'll do for starters.

    Merlot.x.

    Hey Guys

    What a lovely new thread :D

    Well my first want is to be debt free. Interest paying debt free by the end of this year, other debt free by June 2009.

    Then my next one is to save up for deposit for a house (which fingers crossed should be done by 2010 :D ).

    For the house I would like a nice 2 bedroom terraced house where i live now if possible. With a nice sized garden that I can enclose for the cats to play in :p

    Thats it for now, but i think thats enough :rotfl:

    Hope you all have a fabby weekend.

    I just want someone I can feel content around (that I find I can also feel attracted to), and who accepts that dating wise it would just have to be free or cheap excursions.

    Hi all,

    I would like to not have to share a house any more, to be able to travel and to return to Australia next year with savings instead of debt!!!

    Lula - I would give anything to live on a narrow boat, it must be awesome, can I come visit when you get yours??? I decided I wanted to have my hens night on a narrow boat but this will probably be difficult since I will be getting married a year or so after we get back to Aus!!

    Good luck with everyone on getting their 'wants'!!

    Oh the I want it now bit.... hmm here goes. Bet I get told off though.

    1. pay off my stupid debt of £23k as of yesterday but it ain't going to happen.

    2. have millions of people visit my website to pay off my debt

    3. Once debt free work for a charity instead of working for the company I do as they are rubbish.

    I also have a dream to have a nice house that is self sufficient with electric and water so no more bills and to live of food grown in the garden. The program "The Good Life" springs to mind.

    Ah well 1,2 and 3 might happen but I doubt it.

    Ps

    I would secretly love to be the secret millionaire going out and about giving money to people. That might happen one day.

    Mr Maximus
    Ok £23k in debt so what. I am paying it off but need to be quicker about it. Any help or ideas are always welcome.

    My Debt Free Day will be 1st August 2018! Ouch!
