Say you had a thousand pounds..........
« on: April 28, 2016, 11:52:44 am »

Say you had £1,000  :celebrate:, to be spent in the next 3 months, on anything except the smallholding  8).  How would you indulge yourself?  :thinking:  Just dreaming....

A weaving loom and loads of embroidery silk because crafts are the other passion in my life. And probably loads of books too.

Our holding has Anglo Nubian and British Toggenburg goats, Gotland sheep, Franconian Geese, Blue Swedish ducks, a whole load of mongrel hens and two semi-feral children.

Maybe a very nice spinning wheel and a hot stone massage

Excluding the smallholding kind of narrows my options...

What I need is a new car but as that's to get to the holding, I'll exclude that.

So probably a holiday as Mrs B. Could really do with a break currently...

I still have £1500 to raise to finish the school in Tanzania I am raising money for ... so I will indulge myself in the knowledge that 4 to 6 year olds in a remote village in Tanzania will have a school to study in soon  :excited:  (and I might not have to do the cycling over a Welsh mountain!!!)

I would give it to Jim to get his broken front tooth capped (biting into an apple!) knowing that should he have an unexpected thousand pounds he would think of me first!

Similarly, if it came unexpectedly I'd split it three ways with my son and daughter

I am probably going to spend that - taking my girls to Paris in the October break... for a bit of culture, food and city experience...

Did we all get £1,000, or only one of us?

If we all did, I think I'd give Linda £500 so her Tanzanian school thing is funded, then look at one of those sites where you loan money to projects in Africa for the other £500.

That's made me realise how very lucky I am.

Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

It's bizarre that with a simple question like that I realise I dont have a need for £1000.00 and if I had it I would probably find a way to give it away.

Maybe add to Rustyme phone top up   :innocent:
