What are you lusting over but will (probably) never get?

You just WANT it but you won’t or can’t buy it because it’s too impractical, too expensive, not a necessity, not sensible, unreasonable, etc. Every so often you’ll look at it online, sigh longingly, give the screen a loving stroke and sadly close the page.

I’m not a fan of the LV logos on bags but this I love!

A tractor. Always wanted one.

If it's non S&B items then:

A dapple grey horse
An Apaloosa
A Palamino

Some California guinea-pigs

On a S&B theme

There was a Jaeger pink coat on M&S a couple of years ago , it was gorgeous but I have nowhere to go that means I could wear a dry clean only pale pink coat ( there was an M&S looki-likey but I talked myself out of that too . )

Laser eye- surgery but if it went wrong I am up shit creek .

A draped blue asymmetric dress I saw on Christina Applegate doing a talk show before her tragic illness.

SO pretty x2.

Love the duffle coat.

given that i am shorter than an oompa loompa, I suspect I would look ridiculous in something like that tbh lol. I just enjoy looking at beautiful things I will never wear. unfortunately I have a love for things that only tall statuesque women look good in....

thank you for the suggestion though ♡

Edited

😂😂😂

I'm sure the lady Oompa Loompahs dressed up now and again for the annual Wonka Christmas party!

I realise this isn't style or beauty and probably not very lusty but I really really want a Volvo Xc40 in a off grey shiny colour.

I will get one though, I'm determined it will happen somehow!

have driven one (as a replacement car). clunky and annoying. very safe though

Love that Louis ring very cute! I've just come back from skiing and some of the fur jackets.. jaw dropping but I'm an animal lover and would never.

This will do me

apparently if you add egg white powder (special one just for this) to cat food they stop producing allergens.

I too would love cats, a pile of them. a couple of ragdolls, British longhairs and shorthairs, a siberian, a himalayan and a birman. for starters. sadly I am immunocompromised and often end up in hospital so can't have any 😞

Thanks for the suggestion but doesn't work for me. Would have a house full of moggies otherwise.

greengreyblue · 07/04/2024 17:30

A gorgeous stone house in the nearby lovely market town. Sadly out of my league price wise.
Have just treated myself to Cloud 9 straighteners after thinking about it for a while. My hairdresser uses them on me and I’ve finally ordered. They arrive tomorrow….😍

greengreyblue · 07/04/2024 17:32

@MissMarchple DH has one. It’s hybrid and great to drive though I don’t drive it often so every time I’m looking for the handbrake and clutch that don’t exist!! Feels Uber safe.

I feel your pain. I spend a lot of time watching cat videos. but nothing fills that gap of a little fluffy friend

TrudyMonk · 07/04/2024 17:41

A Cartier tank and a Chloe Hanna or Marcie bag but I know I'd feel uncomfortable wearing them so it would be a waste of money.

Vitriolinsanity · 07/04/2024 17:43

I'd bloody love a skip.

KirstenBlest · 07/04/2024 18:11

@GogAndMagog try ebay or vinted, and keep an eye on their outlet site.

A Maine Coon cat.

Dachshund puppy, can’t decide whether to spend a fortune and buy one which hopefully won’t get back issues.

My DM had a few cars like this back in the day, one she crashed and just left it somewhere in London and never collected it!

Me and DB told her to stop telling us about these stories a while ago! 🤣🫣

Dymaxion · 07/04/2024 18:56

If we are allowed animals then a big daft male pointer, a couple of toggenburg goats and a chunky dun pony, oh and some chickens !

Otherwise a big squishy Tetrad sofa.

A skip, well lots of little skips, there is a local company that drops a skip, you fill it whilst they wait, they take it, empty it and bring it back, that's on my list for next month.

Oh and a lovely garden carrousel.

Whenever I wear expensive things these days I worry more and more they’ll get stolen so I don’t wear them as much as I used to. A friend recently had her Patek Philippe watch ripped off her wrist.

I want chickens too! However my auntie who had them for years in the country put me off them so I’ve sadly not got them. Do they get on with cats?

Picture of the sort of pony I would like
