I don't mean the usual stuff, like a healthy family or so on....
Someone watched me write, and said she had always wanted to be left handed.
She wasn't sure why, she just did.

I've always wanted long, dark hair.

Peace of mind.

Peace of mind and a husband who is easy to live with. Not likely to get either now.

I've always wanted small boobs

i always wanted good teeth, i had to get top dentures at 18 and now have stumps at the bottom, i would like to be taller, fed up having to hem up everything i buy.

MissAdventure Mon 11-Oct-21 19:23:40

Oh, a door that opens separately at the top and bottom. (I don't know what they're called)
Then I could open the top and lean out of it, smiling, like a farmers wife.

I always wanted a garden swing seat like my grandparents had - DD and DS gave us one for our Ruby Wedding last year!

A husband maybe? As long as he had the right attributes (??) and maybe was a little younger.....
Never thought I wanted to get married. Funny how things change

I have always wanted a house with two toilets. I was brought up with one loo and as an adult have never had two. I always seem to be hopping about waiting for someone to come out.

Peace in retirement. Job done at work and with the children time to enjoy each others company like when were young.
Neither my parents nor inlaws achieved this both men dying young.
Never achieved it yet always family issues, appliances breaking or something needing doing in the house. It will be 2022's New year's resolution yet again.

Susieq62 Mon 11-Oct-21 15:07:39

Peace of mind as mine is always all over the place and never stops.
Would love to play an instrument, saxophone would be brilliant
