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 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.

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.

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

confidence in myself, it is severely lacking

RustyBear Mon 11-Oct-21 19:02:29

MissAdventure Mon 11-Oct-21 19:15:41

To live in Japan. Can’t even afford a holiday there so I read lots of books and look online and dream.

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.

nexus63 Mon 11-Oct-21 19:26:42

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.

Ninanana Mon 11-Oct-21 19:44:32

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

Granniesunite Mon 11-Oct-21 19:46:52

Peace of mind.

To be naturally slim and be able to eat what I like. I have always been either overweight or at my slimmest a curvey size 16. I can never remember being a size 12 I went from children's clothes to a size 14 as a teenager so I would love to be a size 12.
