Mine is a tiara - not necessarily an expensive one - costume jewellery really - but I would never have an occasion to wear one, and as I have a face like a homely potato, I’d look ridiculous in one. But I still get that little yearning, if I see one on FB or Etsy.

The large Lego Hogwarts thats being discontinued.

Golden south sea pearls.... a necklace of the mega expensive ones. Totally frivolous but gorgeous!

Stop it @Dominoeffecter I think I'm a bit too middle aged to pull it off 🥲

A big fat diamond ring. Never gonna happen, but a girl can dream.

a house that has an elevator and en-suites for every bedroom

I'd like a tractor so I can rumble through town on it and be high above the other traffic.

My very own horse - and a field to keep it it - and a friend for it.

A gold tooth. I had a molar removed more than 20 years ago and I want a gold one there now. I'm ridiculous.

Me too, but more than one!

Never too old ☺️

LetMeEnfoldYou, just get the tattoo if you want it! Definitely no age limit. I’m nearly 60 and only got the first of my seven large tattoos two years ago.

A set of nesting doll owls from Alice Darkling. So so beautiful!

A bigger Christmas tree as my 1yr old 4ft tree isn't big enough for my liking

A ball gown, proper princess, massive meringue type affair. I've never worn one, but would love to flounce about the house in one. And for some reason sit on the floor with it all puffed up around me Blush

You could borrow my tiara to wear with it, @wildwestpioneer!

Chickens.

Pet rats.

An all-seasons conservatory to pack with miniature citrus trees and bougainvillea.

The chickens will not be allowed in the conservatory obviously.

A top of the range holiday, they type that costs thousands just for one night. I'd like to experience two weeks of complete luxury.

A friesian horse.

I've ridden one a few times and sigh just wonderful <<shakes fist at scruffy ponies>>

A really really fancy watch, like philipe patek, with lots of bells and whistles, but looks really sleek and expensive, but classy.
Don't wear a watch, ever.
