I’d live near town, (penthouse/rooftop), somewhere where I feel safe & comfortable with a private/peaceful garden or balcony – but I’d have a holiday home overlooking water.
I’d live blissfully alone some of the time and with my kids (16 & 13) 3 or 4 days a week
I’d be 11 or 12 stone – fit & toned – I’d wear shapely jeans, shorter skirts & boots
My friends would be the same as they are now, I may need to shake off some older negative friends who live elsewhere though
My home would be Bright, Organised & tidy with lots of plants inside & in my outside place particularly bamboo (I’ve found this place but can’t afford it) My holiday home would be cosy with a real fire)
I’d really like to learn to climb, sail & surf (my weight & health stop me doing these) but I’d be happy walking more of the UK, gardening, doing regular exercise that I enjoy & improving my mind by reading more (Non fiction as well as fiction))
I don’t like driving anymore – I’d walk everywhere I could & get a bus or train where necessary – I can hire a car if I have to
It’d be nice not to rely on money – so paid or unpaid I’d work with people who I can help
Ideally I wouldn’t have one ailment after another & I wouldn’t worry about what everyone else (Mother, Children , husband, siblings) wants, needs & thinks plus I’d socialize more & I’d travel

**** Hmmmmm, this has been an interesting reality check…
answers follow:
* Vermont, USA
* My lovely Husband
* 140 lbs. Fit and trim. Comfortable clothing with “formidable bling” to jazz things up!
* Like minded creative individuals.
* My home would be much the way it is, with a few luxuries and practical fixes added.
* Hobbies would all involve the Arts and environmental endeavors.
* My current vehicle but newer… (208000 miles at this point!)
* My current VSAVermont job… with a published “something”… and an ever-flowing substantial income from a clever, creative endeavor.

I’m not sure I’d want to change anything. If I had a ‘perfect’ life I think I’d be BORED silly!!! I enjoy the thrill of having to set myself targets and cheering when I achieve them. I also love my family, my choice of friends… Don’t think I’d change a thing!!!

The only thing I would change is my weight and circle of friends. Living and teaching at Lake Como is pretty idyllic

My answers are a bit similar to Sharon’s, although not has detailed

I want to live by the sea, somewhere hot, but I wouldn’t mind living on a hill overlooking the sea in Cornwall too. I’d be living with my boyfriend, he’s not perfect but he can be quite lovely sometimes! My weight would be 10 stoneish, sometimes a pound or two heavier and sometimes a bit lighter, my clothes would be relaxed, like the surroundings. I’d have an athletic figure, not bulky but streamlined. I really need to start doing yoga or pilates. Not sure about my circle of friends as i’m a bit of a loner but all ages, not too many but close friends who i could share a few problems with i suppose. My house would be open plan, lots of glass, plants wood and a nice japanese garden leading from the kitchen. My hobbies would be painting, reading, writing, i’d like to have a pottery workshop too and a kiln. i’d drive a scirroco, that’s the car i want at the moment, but i’m not too bothered about that as long as it doesn’t break down. And I wouldn’t work, i’d be wealthy enough not to, I don’t know how, but the lottery is all that springs to mind.

My perfect dreams is this … I would be living near the sea- either in North Wales or New Zealand, within walking distance of the beach. I would be living with my husband. I’d never change that. I will be 10 stone and have a fit, healthy body. I would wear comfortable clothes, for doing my pottery in and for other days would have nice sexy clothes. I would have a small circle of friends as I have now. Lots of acquaintances but only small group of diverse friends. I would be living in a 6 double bedroom house with 7 bathrooms, large living area, gym and shower room, meditation room, workshops in the back for pottry, double garage, beautiful gardens with a pool. Areas which are separated into entertainment areas, herb garden, meditation area. Lovely views. Separate cottage for my parents. My hobby would be my job. The other hobbies would be reading, eating out, dancing. Going on long walks along the beach. I would have to have two cars. One would be a practical van for transporting my pottery paraphernalia. The other would be a decent car something like a Prius. I’d be self employed making my money from my pottery.
