In my dream world I live in a house with a man. He's nice and he doesn't have a perfect body but I still reckon he's great for everything else about him. Looks don't matter to me, he's got a six-pack on the inside. He's always warm for hugs and I get a lot of those. He also does all the cleaning and cooking :) or at least we share. He sends me roses and while I don't look like I used to he still says I'm beautiful. I want him to love me.
I don't know if I'm married to him. Well, if this is a perfect world then yes I am but I don't have children yet, we're waiting a bit before that.
My house isn't big, it's cosy and the rooms are relatively small apart from our room which has a huge, massively comfy bed. So comfy that all we want to do in it is sleep. It's blue, our room, and the bed is midnight blue and snug warm for when I need a hug and my man isn't there. There are always fresh flowers in my house that we get from our garden that magically maintains itself. We live in a little village with lots of trees and flowers around it, without
loads of concrete. It looks a bit like Swavesey in the dream, but really it would all be like the high street and much less of Cherry Trees.
I'd have a car and I'd be a good driver, speed somewhere in between my snail mum and formula 1 driver dad. But most of the time I wouldn't need my car because I'd be commuting every day to do the work I love. Work would be like in my story.
The weather would be sunny for a whole proper summer, not just a week. I would wear summer dresses and we'd go to the beach and have 99s and run around on the sand like those people on adverts for spain in our sunglasses and me in my floppy hat. At Christmas it would snow and we would build snowmen and throw it at each other and catch the falling flakes on our tongues like we're five.
I don't want to be rich, I want to be comfortable and go on holiday but I don't want to have so much money that I forget about little things like punting and flowers and riding bikes in summer around Fen Drayton lakes.
I want to live near Mum, and Dad not to be far away. I want Dad to be with someone who can be bothered with me and Jack, who's nice and who deserves him and puts up with his moods. I want friends, lots of friends and then about five really good ones who come round and have Earl Grey while my man is upstairs. Those include Gok Wan, he rules.
I don't want people to die, or at least I want to be at peace with the deceased's deaths, and I don't want heartbreak. I don't want arguing and I don't want war. I want a government that isn't full of crap. I want Have I Got News For You to be on every day.
I want to still have nice hair most of the time.
