Also, have a team of gundogs, that I have trained myself!! (That are better than Ryans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Definately better than Ryan's........

I love Scotland but I have to think of Carl so it would have to be round here somwhere...there are some lovely villages a stones throw from me. I am lucky that I live semi rural I have countryside on my doorstep. I love my bungalow so am happy at the moment.

We will have to see how the finances are when Chris retires, but that won't be for a few good years yet.

I think you'd deserve it too......with all the work and love you give that gorgeous son of yours xxxxxxx

Have to say I feel pretty privileged living the life I do at the moment, especially when it is obvious how many people would swap places with me in the blink of an eye
BC rescue now your talking.............mind you I'd never rehome them

We're tucked away from the big areas, but within a few miles drive of two of them, for shopping purposes.
We're currently living our dream.

A small holding wouldn't be for us. I love my dog, but wouldn't want the chooks, pigs, goats etc. Guess I'm more of a Margot in that respect
Too far North wouldn't be for me either, as my asthma gets worse the colder I get.

So where we are is just fine and dandy
Oh yes you already have your place....well done hun xx

I want a grown-up gap year Couldn't afford to travel when I was younger, so me and OH have dreams of a camper van and a year off work-don't know if it will ever happen but a girl can dream

House wise, somewhere near to where I am, just a bit more secluded with a bigger garden-I would like me some chooks and another dog or two!
Pat and I should be having Adult time....instead we fostered children what are we like

Your future hun is to meet that ''mr right'' and go and get your dream.....and a few more dogs

Pony and trap, funny I always wanted to just get a romany caravan with a horse.....sell all, get the animals together and ride off into the sunset......no sure how the chickens would like that

I have no idea - but it`ll be interesting finding out. I`ve never really made those sorts of plans (apart from signing up for college etc.). I find that things just tend to work out.

I have no idea to be honest.. But if it involves a nice house in the middle of the countryside and enough time and money for a few animals, I'll be happy

I'd like to be in Spain - we were going to do it years ago but it would have been to difficult with the kids - because it wouldn't have been fair on the other parents (coz we are nice like that - even though most of them are living with us!) Anyway once they are at least past 20 I think we will go for it,then they can decide for themselves - but we will keep the house here & rent it out probably. I don't like this country it sucks!!

My cousin went to Spain for a holiday, met a guy married him and stayed. Divorced him 3 years later and now owns 4 properties out there...1 she lives in 3 she rents for holidaymakers. She says she would never come back here too

Eventually we would like to be in Derbyshire or Yorkshire.

We are hoping to move in the next year but nearer to where Gorden works as the travelling is becoming ridiculous unless his sort of job comes up in the next year or so up North then we will go off up North earlier.

I would love a bigger garden a driveway for the cars all things we had before until we moved here.

I have loved this house and still do and living here as we have the field and nature reserve on our door step but it is an estate and so many young Children and I would like a bit of peace and quiet now.

Oh Helena you really must do thread on that. I think he'll quite like it (Assuming he isn't afraid of heights ) just make sure it's a proper glider and not one of those micro-light thingies, they scare the daylights out of me

I hope and pray that in 5 years time hubby and I are settled in a nice big house near a lake in Canada, with a little one running around. I'll be working a nice part time job that gives me lots of time at home with said little one and hubby has a job that he loves and allows him to work from home on occasion, or at the very least be only a short commute away.

Well, a girl can dream can't she? ;o)

Same here. We've been on the (4 year) visa waiting list for Canada since May 2006 and I hope like mad we're accepted. We meet all the criteria/points and then some but you just never know.
