Grand designs

oh, Lulu - your dreams are my dreams as well... I would leave that one for you and would find myself something similar in my part of the world, lol...
and definitely - let's buy those tickets, lol.
lovely blog and keep dreaming, hehe

Nice to share your dreams Lulu. Well someone has to win the Lottery, it may as well be you. Good luck!

lovely blog lulu, great idea, i think its good to dream!

nice to share the dreams Lulu my OH enjoys the programme and some projects are old barns aren't they... but I couldn't live for years in a caravan on a building site as some do....

Neither could I Pam, too soft ...

Oh it's lovely. It's great to do up an old building, and make it your own.
Have you bought that ticket yet - Good Luck when you do :o))

Oh what its is to dream eh? I do it all the time :)

Wow! good luck with that Lou. At my age all that space would scare the heck out of me..all that housework yeeeuk!

I would just like to own next door (mirror image of my place..pick it up complete with gardens and paddock and put it somewhere nice...like the cotswolds? or maybe the Gower coast?

Lovely dream Lulu , but a headache in its execution .

Yes would be great - so wish I was rich :/ - I love grand designs - the last one they did a house from a water tank

Lulu is it about to be renovated there a large pile of something in the first picture.
Afraid like Margo my dreams no longer extend that far,hope yours come true for you before they fade.

I love Grand Designs too :) We need to win the lottery! ;)

nope Brian, not up for grabs! those bays are full of gravel and sturf!)
Housework Tet, I forgot to say I would go minimalist!
As for camping, I would live in our cottage (a field away while the work was ongoing!)
Yep, saw the water tank grand designs.
Am sure the headache in it's execution would be well worth it!!

i love Grand designs to lulu and this fits the bill, i hope you win and get your dream home ;o))
im still waiting to.

Oh isn't it lovely to dream? Not sure I'd have the staying power any more to see a big project like that through - maybe if it was a REALLY big lottery win, you could get Kevin McCloud to do it for you. :-)

thats what i would do Gattina, why trouble ourselves when millionaires haha

Best of luck folks! If ever you get to complete these dreams dont forget I want to be first to visit the gardens! lol! With Brian, and Val and a few others of course...

Fantastic Lulu! "If you don't have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true?" (South Pacific in case you're too young, lol.) Go for it - you have a brilliant imagination . . . then make it a B&B for GoYers! And perhaps let Amy (or me) help with the garden design. :))

And the funny thing is....I have never bought a lottery ticket!!

Now that's NOT funny Lou, here's Sheilabub and Amy lining up for a job, and I was going to offer to cook the breakfasts and look after the irises...and walk the puppies..(that would get me slim lol!)

I think I am more in line with a hobbit house really Tet!

Keep dreaming, Lulu! It's the only you'll ever get to reform that house - of & in your dreams! Nevertheless if we didn't have B I G dreams on occasions we'd still be living in caves!

Loved your ideas! I think I've seen the programme you talk about on 1 or 2 occasions but, apart from my 30-45 minutes over breakfast in the kitchen, I hardly watch any TV at all! My wife does most of her viewing on line on her laptop so neither of us watches TV much. Yet we've 3 working sets in our flat!

My wife says for the little TV we watch we might as well cancel our contract with Virgin! I tell her we wouldn't save hardly any money because it's part & parcel of the package of phone & broadband we have with them! Taking the 3 services with them & for 10 years of loyalty we get a discount which we would lose if we gave up any of these 3 services!

Oh I love to dream like that too. Oh to win that lotto! I think it would be lovely to restore an old building and give it a new life!

Sigh...One of us might! Lets all put a lucky dip on Satuday!

We should all have a little comptation to see who can win the lotto first. I only buy a ticket when the urge grabs me tho'. Ah well maybe one day I can be the big winner.

Aye me too lol

me too, if I ever bought one!
3 tv's in your flat Blacony!!! I would love to not have one in a way, I think the tv can be a big evening waster!!

"I think the tv can be a big evening waster!!"

I couldn't agree more! Especially when you can use it to greater advantage on GoY! (Or any other gardening forum! I post on 3 other forums!)

LOL, in hospital at the.moment with no tv! A good book but can't read it because my eyes are squiffy after a GA!

Oh, Dear, Lulu - hope the eyes and you improve soon! All this and no books, either! My poor OH was taken (quite scarily and totally unexpectedly) into hospital last year, and of course, in the common room, the television was in Italian (what else?) Of course, he couldn't understand it and got very, very bored, once he'd stopped feeling worried about himself. It's amazing what a fast recovery he made, dragged himself back home and sat watching British daytime tv and drinking weak tea for a week until he felt stronger.

Bless him! Hope he recovered well.

Poor old Thing, he was never ill! He'd had chest pains and went to the doctor who sent him to A&E at the brand new (3 days old) hospital down the mountain to be checked out. They had all these lovely new wards and no patients, so they were obviously touting for business! As soon as he was admitted he started to feel like a fraud. He was sitting there, fully clothed, fed lovely food 3 times a day while I drove up and down the mountain, or sat around to translate while the doctors gave him test after test. He was lovely and tanned from working in the garden, too, so he looked REALLY healthy. They found nothing wrong with him and discharged him. I reckon it was when he'd been spreadeagled on the summerhouse roof for a few days, trying to replace the roofing felt, and had strained his chest muscles. He's been a bit sheepish about the whole thing ever since.
Get well soon!

Are you back home now, Lulu? Why did you have to go into hospital - if it isn't prying? LOL! Hope you recover very quickly from whatever it was. :-))
