Build your own home

When you've watched Grand Designs, Renovation Man and Build your Dream etc. to death and you have to wipe your mouth after every viewing.  It's time to look yourself in the mirror, slap it, you that is, and take a cold shower.  As you need to look into making your fantasy a dream, build your own home!

Let the mood boards and drawings begin!

Buy an Island

When your day hasn't made the grade and you think what could be the most impulsive buy yet.  Why not buy an Island? What?  But there are looooads of reasonable to darn right expensive ones to be grabbed up.  And you'll have full bragging rights for at least... a month, ok maybe a year... or five.

A shopping spree in New York

When your wardrobe is starting to look a little drab, a weekend shopping spree in New York is the way to freshen up your look.  Last minute flights can be found at reasonable prices and once your there the exchange rate will help your purse with those luxury buys.  Goooo on, get the girls together for some Champagne fun!

See the Northern Lights

A must to tick off your list. Displays of the lights are notoriously unpredictable and cannot be forecast in advance. In the northern hemisphere, the aurora season runs from late September or early October to late March. The lights may be seen at any time during this period, but late October, November, February and March are the best bets.
