superking is the biggest.My friends got one and its massive. I wouldnt get it in my room. She got a big bed because most of the time her two children sleep in the bed with them too.
A queensize is bigger than a single, but smaller than a double I thought.
Ive got a kingsize bed. plenty big enough, but still easy to buy bedding for. When was the last time you saw queensize or superking size bedding for sale?
Toiletries: The Body Shop and Lush
Clothes: All over the place...same as now, but more often.
Stereo Equipment (home):dunno, not fussed. Im happy with the stereo ive got. Id love a big plasma TV though.
Bed: kingsize, but id get a new one. really nice and comfy.
Car 1. smart car, but I wish they had more than 2 seats.
Car 2 wouldnt have two cars for myself. If forced, maybe a lotus elise or exige.
First house:a huge house with lots of grounds, a river, a wood, treehouses, outbuildings, wild ponies, deer and squirrels.

UK superking is 180cm x 198cm. 7' squared is 214cm x 214cm. unecessarily large. not many people buy bigger than superking, though.
Just to confuse the matter, standard bed sizes are different in the UK, US and in Europe. A european queensize is the same size as a UK small double/three quarter (120cm x 190cm). The UK doesn’t generally use the term queensize, unless referring to US sized beds, but occasionally, custom beds between double and king are called queensize. An american queensize is the same width as a UK kingsize, but longer. Check me and my bed knowledge.
yeah, exactly. you'd be better off pushing two doubles together and getting two seperate bedding sets. we had a bed like that on holiday, and it was fab.
p.s. i'm gonna actually answer the question in a bit.

Clothes: I don’t know if I’d dress any differently. I’d just have a lot more of the same kind of stuff. like converse low tops in every colour they come in. and i'd invest in a much blingier sewing machine, overlocker and knitting machine, and buy loads of fabrics that are £10+ a metre, so i usually ignore.

Bed: custom made 7' diameter round bed. memory foam mattress. custom made round sheets and covers. ooh baby.
Car 1: i'd probably just get something like i have now (fiesta) only it would have central locking and the radio would actually work. i might get a custom paint job though. black with pink flames or something equally tacky, and then do out the interior in black and pink.
Car 2 (For raggin about): a pick-up truck. so we can chuck the bikes in the back. and i just think they're cool. probably a battered old white one, cause it seems the rules of the road don't apply to those.
