“If only money were no object…” It’s one of our sayings, though I can’t quite remember now when we started saying it! Essentially, it’s always a prologue to our mentioning some luxury that we would dearly like to indulge in, but which is either impractical, too expensive or both!
I’m not talking about BIG luxuries - houses, cars, yachts and what-not - I’m referring to those small, but highly desirable, pleasures that would immeasurably improve the chances of everyday happiness!
Chief among our desires would be to have a daily supply of fresh towels and bed linen as used to be provided in hotels before they became ecologically-minded and started asking their guests to make do for longer…
“Oh, if only money were no object," we say, "we'd have clean sheets and towles every day!"
I wonder what YOU would choose…?

"Yes please, sheets and towels, but also...
Fresh flowers
Mown lawn
Clean windows
Coffee in beautiful porcelain cups
Reams and reams of lovely paper, a wonderful fountain pen, clean blotting paper, sharp pencils.
Knowing that there are at least six books on the shelf waiting to be read.
Bath/ shower/ soap products all from Penhaligons [Bluebell in case anyone wants to know].
Time to enjoy all of the above!

PS Can I list Johnny Depp too, or is this too far into the realms of fantasy?"
Oh man, definetely fresh sheets and towels, a long non-waterwise shower, a cool block of chocolate always in the fridge, email that answers itself for a whole day, a spam filter that works, soft socks that don't pill, a really good book always on hand, someone to come in and fix my hair each morning, and someone to fight Gill for me so I can have Johnny Depp. :o)
GILL and CAFRINE... Not sure about Johnny D, but I'll do what I can and see if he can fit you BOTH in - after, of course, he's re-made our bed and put out the clean towels... ;-)
Oh yes, definitely clean linen every day... & all the other household chores that get done by themselves, but also NEW duvet covers every week... I just love colourful bed linen.
And a house like Bag End, with a bedroom like Frodo's at Rivendell.
Blimey! You guys don't want much, do you?! Johnny Depp on demand and now a total rearrangement of Middle-earth geography!!
This all getting very silly, but I'll put it down to pre-March madness!
I'd have the clean towels off your list, the fresh flowers from Gill's and add a 24-hour taxi service with driver and unlimited mileage for the sole use of me and my friends. It would have to be a London cab, preferably a Fairway.
If money were no object... would I be able to buy more time to write?
EVERYBODY - All your wishes are granted and may very possibly come true one day...
