What have you 'always wanted' and did you get it?

I still haven't won the lottery

An AGA ... I waited 51 years and now I couldn't be without it!

I always wanted an amazing lover and the kind of experience that you read about in books........

I've just got to ask Eglantine..... did you get what you wished for? only being nosey

Oh yes! At the age of 57!

Lucky you, Eglantine ?

Yay! Worth waiting for!

What sort of books though, Eglantine?

I have always wanted to be able to sing. Even my GS(6) tells me to “be quiet now granny”.
Maybe I should start a choir for us out of tuners?

Oh yes, I've always wanted to be able to sing, or play an instrument well enough to produce something that sounds good, and is satisfying. I have an absolutely awful voice.

Pamela. I could join your choir. Even with a 7 year age gap, each of my boys said"please don't sing Mummy". But I love it and know all the words to all the musicals. I sing in the car when alone.

I'm not into shoes or handbags or jewellery so I tell my OH he's a lucky man,in fact I have to be talked into buying things for myself....if its something I dont need .Anything I need I get so theres not much to hanker after .I want more than anything for my lovely daughter to regain her health ,to have days pain free and for her to be able to get her life back.If I could BUY that I would in a heartbeat .

Back in the 1970s when I used to sing in the car, one of my children said "Mum you sing like Les Dawson plays the piano"

1moleta3...oh what a shame, I'm looking for a new home for my 2 seater garden swing seat, you'd be welcome to it if you were anywhere near me ..

paddyann I'm going to wish that for your daughter too

I also wanted a sister, called my brother Pauline for ages.

Lakeland coloured pencils, weren't they just the best, and the smell, when you opened the tin, mmmmmmmm

My real wish was for a Mill stone water feature. I saw this on Pebble Mill at One, (Peter ? someone presenting) but have never got one.

Oh, and a cupboard under the stairs. Drew a line down the wall, for access from the hall, but DH just painted over it. I'm still waiting

Can I join your choir pamelaj? I still recall the shame of not being allowed to sing in my junior school class choir and hearing my Grandad saying I sounded like a frog croaking.

I understand your desire for your daughter paddyann and if I may I wish the same for us both and anyone living with CFS/fibro.

On a positive note I always wanted to live in a bungalow and now I do. Love it .

I never wanted a bungalow always worried about safety but now I would probably give my right arm for one.
Too late now
