Yes...this is ALL about me, and mine. Marvellously self indulgent, feel free to tell me how splendid I am, leave comments, nice ones please, I have little kids and teenagers who can do the rude stuff. I am a grandma, to the glorious Joshua, I'm allowed to look frazzled and weary, I earned it. The older I get, the more I see that hanging on and being patient is worth it! They ( whoever 'they' are) are so right when they say you never know what is around the corner, it isn't always an articulated truck! It is vital to make the time for making memories, friends are the greatest treasure, I love mine. I am rich!

I wish....( this could take a while!!)

In my session with Jan today she suggested I make a wish list. It can be wishes for anything...which seemed like a great idea until I came to start. It's midnight and all day I have been thinking and can't seem to begin. I think though, that once I DO begin it will be hard to stop!

It's a great feeling to know that materially there is little I would wish for. I love my home and don't mind at all that this one is rented, I feel pretty sure that we can stay here for as long as we need / like so that is enough for me. Our landlady is great.
I love the thrill and satsifaction of making it beautiful on a tight budget, I really believe that we enjoy what we have because the joy of finding it and buying it without debt and worry. One man's trash is most definately our treasure!!
I have never been one for jewels and designer clothes, so I don't long for any of that.
My one wish, should it be a material one, would be for a car that was new enough to be reliable. I know nothing about cars, H knows nothing about cars and so we are at the mercy of garage owners who can say what they like and we believe them! We have a car that is 14 years old, it has been well used and is feeling it's age which frightens me! *sigh* 2 grown up sons who can cook up a storm but can't fix cars....typical! I don't pine for a grand car, a fast car or a flash car. My wish, in car, would be for one of these
Fitting that I should find the nice car on e.bay. I tried to find jazzy pics on posh websites but all I seemed to get was way too many words and not enough pretty pictures of shiny cars with no trees in the wing mirrors. E.bay, I love you.

It's now 1am...it's taken me an hour to find a picture of a car I like ( a simple task I thought would be easy!)....... a full wish list, including non material things, might take a while!!

Our van is almost 10 years old. I hate a car payment, but we may have to have one again by fall. But really looking forward to getting a newer car. Maybe even a new one. :) That is a good wish Helen. :)
