So I just wanted to share this with you all. I was at work and I was really sleepy, so I decided to write some letters. I always do this, and hardly ever give the letters to the people they are addressed too, it's just my sort of way of getting things out.
This particular letter written to Daniel, describes my perfect flat/house that we will one day share together.
"To Daniel,
Good morning my love, I am struggling to stay awake and just dosed off in my sudoko book so I've decided to write to you instead (it's the second best thing to actually talking to you).
For future reference in our house I want us to have all white, old country mansion-style furniture. There will be mirrors, gold, silver everywhere, very regal. It'll be pretty an everything will be/ or look antique. In our bedroom I want to get that beautiful mirrored dressing table from Ikea, where I can lay out all my makeup neatly, with necklaces draped over the Antique mirror that is currently in storage, it's beauty going to waste.
In the kitchen we'll have a 1950's Grease style kitchen with all black crockery and cutlery, with special Cath Kidston cups, mugs, tea pots and little cake stands to put my failed baking attempts on. We can take it in turns to cook for each other each night, trying our hardest to make home cooked food when ever we can (maybe we'll buy the Pizza Bases this time though). We can make a habit of cooking Sunday dinner whenever we can affoird to buy all the trimmings. When I get up in the morning I won't wake you up reading, or pottering about, I can go downstairs and do my own thing. We can invite our friends and family over and we can have fancy dinner parties. We'll have a beautifully made up spare room where unexpected house guests can sleep, without having to rough it on the floor. We can get up in the morning, have breakfast together before heading off seperately to our high powered jobs. I love that you'll be there when I get back.
We'll have a lovely little garden around the back for Marley and Corrigan to play in (seperately obviously). Spot, Tiger-Lily, Iggy, Ike and Tina will have a lovely big round bowl placed upon a fancy stand, where they can swim around to their hearts content. When we get settled, we can buy ourselves a little Chow puppy and call it baby. Then when we retire (to the cottage with the stream running through the garden) we can get Penelope pig. We'll train her like a dog and she will be the cleverest pig around.
In the living room we can have a huge burgundy/red/brown corner couch that we can snuggle on, play Wii and have 'Rock Band' practise. We can set up our Ikea Dave Laptop tables side by side, where we can play World of Warcraft simultaneously. The wallpaper will be a lovely vintage floral print or that one with the insects on that we saw on 'Grand Designs'. Candles will be placed all around the room, with films on shelves. Collectively we will own the greatest Film Collection known to man, your Studio Ghibli, my Friends, Sex and The City, House and all my tragic Oxfam videos.
In the spare room there will be a magnificent white framed day bed decorated with all the cushions that my mum made me. One wall will just be book shelves (made by Joey...obviously). All my books will finally be in one place and on display for all the world to see. Because I doubt all my clothes will fit in our room, it'll be in this room that I keep my clothes, shoes, bags and jewellery, everything will be nicely set out and perfect for 'outfit picking'. There will be no need for pooey drawers because everything will be on hangers.
I don't care much for Bathrooms, so ever so kindly of me, I'll let you plan this room. I'm guessing that'll include an Xbox with Xbox Live in the bath, fully fitted with waterproof controller. Perhaps maybe a little secret compartment to keep all your KitKat chunkys in.
Maybe one day soon my love.
Love you now, and forever.
xxxxxx"
