A pair of wellies that go over my calves. I'm a girl with calf muscles, which means no wellies!

We have the dream house, now we just need the field around our house, or even better the two fields around our house...but owner isn't selling and we have no money to buy them anyway......bad combination :(

A money tree......or for my small business to take off so we have a bit of extra income anyway.

Miles of land with water supply. Solar panels and a generator. Would move my little house onto it and perhaps build a pioneer cabin, get a few chickens, plant a garden, put a rocker on the front porch, hunt and gather. Watch the fireflies and the hummingbirds in the summer. Would want this where I could see the sun rise and set on the horizon.

As long as we're dreaming, I'll put this dream in a climate that has mild winters and summers.

Until the dream is realized, I'll keep praying for rain, good health, good friends, and new courage each day. :flower:

Want to swap with me? I'd like to be able to keep the temperature above 10C for the 4 months during winter... :roll:
It'd be nice to keep the house above that in the summer at the moment.

And Possum, PM me your address. I can send you all the rain you'd ever want :lol:

Being the youngest of 6 isn't all that great either... but I love them all really. We just never have any quite time, and I very rarely get to 'chat' to any of them, because it is always big get togethers, having one of my siblings over for tea inevitably ends up as a gathering of 6+ people... its exausting... a family meal (eg. at christmas) is for 25 people these days. :roll:

I don't suppose many people are happy with the amount of siblings they have.
