One day I will......

chloe I definitely saw a flying pig hurtle past your window. I believed every word until you said one day you wouldn't worry about your children or grandchildren - 'I don't believe you ' . the campervan would be good though, how about a Winnebago?

One day we will sell the house and all our possessions and buy a camper van and travel all over Europe . We will wash whenever ,eat whenever and never , ever worry about our children / grandchildren again. One day I will also throw out my comfy undies and buy outrageous flimsies and wear them on my travels. But for the moment I have to go to the library and Waitrose!

One day I will have nothing to worry about and then I will worry about not having anything to worry about.

One day I will go down to Trailfinders in Manchester and book for that Alaskan cruise.

ana I agree there are often other things that get in the way of doing it now. I suppose what I should have said is that even if it seems an impossible aim , we can make a start on doing it. Maybe by saving the money or organising our lives gradually to enable us. Small things e.g. reading a book, finishing a project, are just a matter of sorting ourselves out. I'm trying hard to take this approach.

One day I will be organised! I hope!

One day I will finish the waistcoat I started knitting for Mr Iam 4 years ago. One day my young dog will Behave.
One day I will enjoy a tour of northern europe.
But today - I will enjoy everything that comes my way and thank heavens/the universe and everything, that I'm alive and well.

DD2 and her DH are off to Iceland to see the northern Lights (among other things) in mid February. The trip was our wedding present to them so is a slightly belated wedding present.

I have already ticked 'seeing the Northern Lights' off my bucket list as I saw them, in a gap in the hills, not two miles from home when I was coming home from Stirling late one night. Looked like dancing waters in the sky - pink, silver and purple. Watched for a bit then rushed home to send DH along the road to see them.

I had to read "Ulysses"'because Joyce was a set author for my English degree. But I could not read "Finnegans Wake" which is "comic prose". Huh!

Good on you Galen, can I come too!

One day I will get out the easel and paints which the late Mr.G was given when he retired and are still unused and will try my hand at something 'artistical'.
One day, I will immerse myself in France and improve my french.
One day, I will actually complete something I have started.
One day, I will make a decision without faffing about for so long that the decision becomes obsolete - or should that be the question?
One day, I will be dead and then all the above won't matter but I will die not having achieved very much.......

Seriously, the solar activity this winter is supposed to make the lights very spectacular.
I'm sure Bags can explain it all , or find articles that do!
That's why I really want to go this winter!
To hell with overdrafts I'm going to Go !

Goes up to N Norway in between!

Galen , Southampton to Southampton makes it sound like a quick trip around the port, in and out!

This is supposed to be a spectacular display, which is why I want to go this year. The one I'm looking at is Southampton to Southampton so no flying!

Oh you temptress Galen.
Yes, one day I will be in Northern Norway and hope to see the Northern Lights. I also hope that one day I will get to visit the Lofoten Islands. Not this year though as I've already got lots of holidays planned.

Any body interested on coming and sharing?

But not this year!
Although as I've no work after February, I am looking at a P&O cruise end of February to northern lights?

One day I will write a book

I WILL SEE the northern lights! the golden temple of Amiritser and the Taj Mahal!

grannyactivist much love , and as the saying goes "fair play to you!"

Actually phoenix I did get the idea of the thread, I just didn't have anything on my 'to do' list that I could think of. One day I will have some thoughts on the subject - and when I do I shall post them.

Come on, ladies, what about some more " One day I will" thoughts?

(although mine might currently be "one day I will refrain from starting totally useless and uninspiring threads on Gransnet.)

always wanted to read the ragged trousered philanthropists. told my nephew. he bought it for me and a copy for himself. it was boring and unfathomable. worst book ever.

It's obviously not GNer's favourite book of the month then!

I agree with you, Ginny.
We used to say one day we would buy a hotel. We spent a few years deciding where we would move to. Then when we'd decided to move to York, my husband fell off a ladder and broke his back.
We did move to York after a couple of years to find out whether he would walk again. We bought a guest house, not quite a hotel, because we could not do all the things we had planned.
Don't put things off if you have big plans.
