to covet this?

and ask what you would covet?

As OP I have decided not to allow coveting health or other people's homes!

It must be an object that you alone would like to own just for it's innate loveliness or because it moves you in some way.

it can not have any innate usefulness or be
a way of
selling your own stuff

feeling bossy I am

[iwastooearlytobeayummymummy]

oops didn't mean to double post

[mummychicken]

YABU - that is bloody awful.
I on the other hand want

this
although it may be discounted as it may be slightly useful

[hf128219]

YABU. That is grim. Do you have no taste?

i saw him on friday and he's been living in my head ever since, he is so real but now so
long dead I yearn to speak to him and ask about his life.

[iwastooearlytobeayummymummy]

mummy
sorry will not allow as may be useful

[mummychicken]

But it's sooooo cute!How about if I never plug it in and just leave it in the box? Better than the "thing" you covet!

[hf128219]

Yummymum - if you really don't have a life I suggest you read a history book. It will save you wasting your time fantasising.

hf, you covet a vaccuum cleaner?!!

iwastooearly - you should have stuck with the thread I answered

[BelleDameSansMerci]

Ooooops! Sorry, hf!! I have besmirched your good name.

Sad - I know but I love MY laptop - but OH uses MY laptop in the kitchen when he's baking - it gets covered in flour.

Yes I know that is unreasonable on 2 counts

1. for it being MY laptop and not OURS and
   
2. for not being happy he bakes!
   
   I dream of being able to use the "w" key without having to press it really hard.

Iwastooearly Ew...What is that thing? It's grim! Do you have a thing for creepy looking monks?

Actually, having gazed at it a little longer... doesn't it remind you of Rodney from Only Fools & Horses?

[tallyhopinkerton]

mummychicken, I have mini Henry. He is awfully cute but has not suction to speak of. He's useless as a vacuum cleaner, so you may covet away!

[iwastooearlytobeayummymummy]

sparkly
maybe he does a bit but ,he has been on my mind since i saw him on friday as he just so, contemporary looking He was painted 1800 years ago!

[hf128219]

[iwastooearlytobeayummymummy]

blame

No child selling either

[iwastooearlytobeayummymummy]

Hf

[hf128219]

Well he can't be useful, can he?

[fidelma]

another baby 5 would be too many

[iwastooearlytobeayummymummy]

hf

fidelma

[hf128219]

Eh? He's dead.

[bronze]

not including babies and things
something completely useless but lovely is a painting I once saw on antiques roadshow. I think I wasnt the only one to fall in love with it too

[iwastooearlytobeayummymummy]

mummy
your laptop is useful, so NO, try again, something without value

[iwastooearlytobeayummymummy]

hf
sorry don't recognise him, help me?

[mummychicken]

I would like the ability to juggle! Nothing spectacular like chainsaws etc, 3 balls would be enough.

Is that better!
