My dream life is to be set up as I am now, but not to have to work at all.

I would spend my weekdays doing exercise every day, and dividing up the rest of my free time between reading, watching movies, going to museums, art galleries and suchlike, and doing various jobs around the house that need doing (eg painting, decorating, fixing up). I'd spend half my reading time on fiction, and half on non-fiction, and I'd try to immerse myself into a specific non-fiction subject for 3-month periods (though I'd probably spend the first 2 years like this just doing history).

I'd get everything done during this time that needs doing so that the weekends would be entirely free to spend time with my 3 children without worrying about what clothes need washing and ironing, cutting lawns and all the mundane jobs that currently have to be crammed into the weekend.

I know it's boring, but this is exactly what I'd do if I had the choice. My problem is I like the life I have, there's just not enough time to fit everything I'd like to do in it.
