22. Shopping at Waitrose
23. Electric garage doors
30. Eating lobster (Mmm, Hawksmoor)
31. His and hers sinks
33. TV in every room (not in the bathrooms, but there's a spare TV in the cupboard that could go there.)
41. Facebook page littered with holiday pictures
49. First name terms with the pub landlord

I'm really surprised at some of you. Without even trying I've a few. Just for the record, I saw the list in the Times, not the tulipty DM
2. Children at public school (when they were young enough)
3. A cleaner (not anymore, did have for ages)
7. Children’s riding lessons (when they were young enough)
15. Personal number plate (until I sold the car whereupon I decided that personal plates are a liability, so let it go)
22. Shopping at Waitrose - of course, nothing else will do
30. Eating lobster - I have eaten lobster, but don't every week
36. 400 thread count sheets - I have some, but not all my bedding is 400 thread Egyptian cotton
49. First name terms with the pub landlord - I should hope so, I spend almost all my spare time in there)
I certainly haven't made it, more like lost it

We have a cleaner.
Given the chance of being near one I shop at Booths. I suppose that could be waitrose but I find Waitrose a bit too meh for my liking and given the choice of Waitrose or Morrisons would head to the latter...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
