Why oh why did none of us get Mr Frosty?

Because its 'a waste of money' and 'too messy'😂

The amount of mr frosty replies made me chuckle.

"Mr. Frosty is such fun. He makes drinks for everyone"

I always had a picture in my head of owning a semi-detached house on a street lined with cherry blossoms. No idea on area, but I imagine I thought that because there was a road close to where I grew up like that.

Then I would buy a lot of Pokémon stuff and young adult fantasy books.

Bikes - new, shiny (not at all second hand) bikes!
An MGB (a family member had one, and it was much cooler than our car)
A house with an attic bedroom, decorated in yellows and with a beautiful window seat where I could sit and read all the books....

A library and an ice cream van.

Debenture for Wimbledon. Always been a huge Wimbledon fan.

A long south facing garden in the middle of nowhere, with an observatory and a large telescope in it at the end (astrogeek).

All the books I read from the library so they were mine instead of having to go back... and the shelves to put them on.

A window seat/reading nook

And yes, a pony... I guess it could mow the long garden for me!

Books, a pony and Nutty bars.
