Money, Money, Money!!

Who wants to be a millionaire??......I do!!.....I want to be a billionaire, so freakin bad!!!!! 

So, they say money makes the world go round and although we're  doing pretty ok, like everyone else I'm sure a little bit extra wouldn't go amiss!! What with the recent VAT rise and the price of fuel going through the roof....I don't think I'll be retiring any time soon!

Along with the rest of the world, I daydream about a big lottery win or a huge inheritance from a distant relative, I even have full converasations with myself about what I would do with the money, what I would buy, where I would live, where I could travel to and who I would give to...although I do know it is all hypothetical of course, it's nice to dream!!  I even found a lottery ticket on the ground last week and thought 'surely this is it, it's a sign...I am bound to win!' I even felt a little bit guilty about this purely hypothetical win as really it belonged to someone else.....but alas, I didn't win a single penny!!  In reality I don't think I would change a very much at all, I love my live as it is....I have a fantastic husband, great kids, an amazing family and the best friends I could want, of course I would buy a bigger house with a garden and a nicer car but I would more than likely stay around the same area, and unless it was mega millions I would probably still work in the same office, have the same friends, go to the same shops, kids would go to the same school, etc. But, it would be very nice just to be able to do things without thinking and to not plan around pay days.....fancy a night out - have one, need something done in the house/on the car - get it done, need a holiday - book it!! I know they say money doesn't buy you happiness....but I would like to have the opportunity to disprove the theory!!

On the other side of all of this, I have only just been paid....(and got extra coz of Christmas hours)...the normal bills have all been paid, the kids are clothed and fed etc and I thought I would treat myself to a little something nice...BUT, now I can't find anything at all that I need/want!! I have trawled the internet shops and haven't come across a single thing that has jumped out and said 'BUY ME'!!  Now, I don't know if that is a sign of my age or a sign that I really don't need any more clothes/shoes/bags as my already bulging wardrobes are about ready to pop but, surely I can squeeze a little something in! 

I think a shopping trip to town maybe in order tomorrow (with lunch of course) - surely I will find something to satisfy the little spending urge!! :)
