This is a direct lift from Mumsnet. I'm not putting it on a Games thread, as I know that there are a lot of us who don't look at games, but I found it funny and cheering, and I think we all need something like that just now!

You have to make a wish, and the next poster grants your wish, but in a way which ruins it. S/he then posts another wish. For example:

I wish I could speak another language fluently.

Poof! Your wish is granted. You can speak another language fluently, but it's Klingon.

I wish I could go on a mountaineering holiday.

Poof! Your holiday is booked. In East Anglia.

I wish I had long, blonde hair.

Poof! Your hair is long and blonde. And growing on your feet.

I wish my garden was tidier.

Poof! you can move to another area but the crime rate is sky high and the pollution is terrible!

I wish my back wasn't aching......

Poof ! It's stopped raining but it's now ⛄⛄❄❄

I wish I could move to another area

Poof! He is REAL but you are on his naughty list and only get a lump of coal for your present!!

I WISH it would bl**dy stop raining - it's been pouring down for hours tchsad

I wish I could dig up some of the wild grass in my garden and make flower beds instead

Poof! You are completely capable of digging it all up but by the time you get to the last bit, the first has grown back and smothered the flowers you planted.

(In NZ it's called kikuyu grass and it's a pain in the asters)

I wish Santa was real....

Poof! You have a chef, and he makes a lovely pasta dish followed by a delightful apple crumble. For every meal, every day.

I wish I could dig up some of the wild grass in my garden and make flower beds instead.

Poof ! you have an ejector seat.

I wish I had a chef

DanniRae Thu 19-Dec-19 09:53:36

Poof! Sadly the only thing you lose is your purse!!

I wish I could get out of chairs more easily.......

Oldwoman70 Thu 19-Dec-19 09:03:32

Poof Christmas decorations are up but you have run out of power points to plug things in

I wish I had enough will power to lose weight

gmarie Thu 19-Dec-19 08:04:01

Poof! Your abscessed tooth keeps you from eating anything at all.

I wish all my holiday decorations were up.

Beechnut Thu 19-Dec-19 07:42:27

Poof! Brexit talk is banned.

I wish I stop eating sweets.

Jane10 Thu 19-Dec-19 06:11:03

grin Good one! That's wishful thinking.

I wish I had swept the floor today

Poof! The floor is beautifully clean because I swept it and found your late Aunt's diamond ring - finders keepers.

I wish people on GN would stop going on about bl***y Brexit.

Wheniwasyourage Wed 18-Dec-19 15:29:44

Poof! You have been up in a glider and had a lovely time but it is coming down now. Over the sea...

I wish I had swept the floor today (couldn't be bothered).

creativeness Wed 18-Dec-19 15:01:47

You have met your lover but he's got a dreadful cold so plans cancelled. I wish I could have a trip in a glider plane soaring about over the earth for a while might be fun

DanniRae Wed 18-Dec-19 14:25:23

Poof! You do a bungy jump but bounce up and down so many times it makes you feel sick

I wish I could run away with my secret lover...

TwinLolly Tue 17-Dec-19 18:57:13

Poof! Your wish is granted. You feel great. You had a nice apple pie.

I wish I could do a bungy jump (is that asking a bit much) but hubby says 'no bloody way!'. confused

Jane10 Tue 17-Dec-19 15:10:46

You can and you are now at the top of a huge ski jump... And you're off!

I wish I hadn't eaten those dodgy tinned grapefruit slices yesterday.

Wheniwasyourage Tue 17-Dec-19 14:53:36

Poof! It has stopped raining. But you are now in Australia where it hasn't rained for years and you have to escape wildfires.

I wish I could ski.

DanniRae Tue 17-Dec-19 12:16:23

Poof! I will cook your lunch but I am a terrible cook and you won't want to eat it!

I wish it would stop raining.

Beechnut Tue 17-Dec-19 06:26:26

Poof! I have done your washing up but have broken your best mug!

I wish someone would cook my lunch.

BradfordLass72 Tue 17-Dec-19 06:14:46

Poof! Your wish has been granted, your left shoe is now intact....the right, however, is full of holes.....

I wish someone would come and do all my washing up!

Wheniwasyourage Mon 16-Dec-19 18:45:58

Poof! You have won a large piece of paper telling you that your £25 prize has been reinvested in more Premium Bonds.

I wish my left shoe hadn't sprung a leak.

DanniRae Wed 04-Dec-19 18:33:04

Poof! you are but it's not always good news (Sorry x)

I wish I could get a big win on the Premium Bonds.....

Jane10 grin

I wish my Grandparents house hadn't been demol

Poof! It hasn't but the nation has been deprived of priceless treasures (think Sutton Hoo) which were under the foundations.

I wish I was psychic

Jane10 Mon 02-Dec-19 16:26:51

Poof! You can. You are now a Tyrannosaurus Rex!

I wish my Grandparents house hadn't been demolished sad
