Think would be forced to move away from London and buy a house with a big garden.  Don't think having a tidy house is an option.  Thought that would happen when I retired, but the house has got more untidy as I am always out and about.  Housework is so, so boring.  Gardening and allotments are just so, so interesting.

Borlotti, The dusting will be there tomorrow even if you do it today. Thats what I tell meself anyway
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

I don't want to sound like an arse but my plot was my saviour last year.  In a complete year from hell in which I lost my Mum and saw my old man have two major life saving surgeries my plot was my anchor.  I could always rely on fellow plot holders to continue to take the pish out of my veg and pass me a beer when needed.  I dont know what I would have done without my few square meters of clay last year and even now it's still my refuge in uncertain times.
Moved to Portugal - ain't going back!

I'd probably go back to paying an expensive gym membership as a way of getting a bit of exercise and something to do at the weekend. And the back garden would probably look a bit better, but I know which I prefer!

I would get round to doing all the jobs around the home and garden my OH keeps going on about.  They are on my 5 year plan 8) 8)

1) Save like hell and buy a small piece of land and start some allotments.
2) Shoot the b%*ard council who sold the current allotments for housing land.
3) Bury said people under plot (or somewhere else) in hope police dig the entire plot looking for them :-)
