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.

When I was in my teens I wanted a long black velvet cloak! One of my older sisters offered to make me one, but we could not have afforded the fabric....I could afford one now, but think I might look like a witch or an old crone. If only I was taller than 5'2" maybe I could carry it off!

I remember at age 10 telling my mum my ambition was to be a ballerina or be 5' tall. I didn't manage either, I did teach ballet for about 10 years though but am only 4'10".

Red or auburn hair. Mine was dark brown, now grey.
A horse. I can ride but would have loved to have my own horse.
To be able to tap dance, swim and ride a bike.
To be a vet.
A Jaguar MkII car.
To be able to sing again. I used to be a soprano in our church choir, but my asthma pumps ruined my voice, now I just croak. Anyone listening probably wishes I would!

Ninananna I second that!!

I have always wanted a night where my kids and grandkids would come to dinner on a regular basis each week.

I can sing and dance but can’t master the guitar. I’d love to be able to draw and paint. Both my DD’s are accomplished artists. They take after their dad. Playing Pictionary with my family is hilarious when it comes to my turn. No one can ever guess what I have drawn. ?

Bigger boobs, but not looking for more surgery now…
Eyes which don’t need specs plonking in front of them (so I mess about with contacts)
Small features.

I always wanted to be an Olympic swimmer, but when we were young, good facilities were rare.
Alternatively, to be able to sing in a big choir but was never even chosen for the school choir.sad

I'm not too unhappy with my looks, hair etc.
What I would have loved to do was to have been able to play Flamenco guitar. I bought a Flamenco guitar while in Spain for a boyfriend but had a blazing row with him before I got past the first 2 chords. I wish I had asked for it back!

To lose weight I am struggling

Mollyplop Tue 12-Oct-21 17:06:27

A pony
To be slimmer
To be more confident and not compare myself to other people

Noelle57 Tue 12-Oct-21 19:06:32

Long slim legs and to play the piano

natasha1 Wed 13-Oct-21 22:52:43

A drim kit or saxaphone and and he able to play them.
And an more organised mind, go from one thing to Another.

DanniRae Thu 14-Oct-21 07:42:45

To be braver :-(

Copes283 Thu 14-Oct-21 07:52:53

Body confidence sessions ... for all of us!! Have a nice day!

MissAdventure Thu 14-Oct-21 17:39:47

Good idea, judging by the answer here.
Then music lessons, so we can blow our own trumpets.

A house with a far reaching & wide country view. I hope for it in my next life!
