If you could have the above what would it be. I would like to experience being young, fit ,slender and beautiful just to know how that feels. Oh yes with long blonde hair too.smile

I'm happy being a woman, but it'd be good just to see life from the male side. Of course, not an old duffer, like me. A youngish bloke.

MissAdventure Fri 05-Nov-21 22:26:45

That would be interesting.
Yes, I think I'd be a handsome, charming man for the day. With a beard.

I'd be an albatross!

I’d be a brilliant rider and gallop my horse through woods and along beaches: would jump hedges with no worry about falling off. Wouldn’t even be saddle sore at the end of the day. All I have ever done in the past is fall off….

Visit the space station. Not very environmentally friendly, l know but we’re only dreaming.

I’d be taller and have a bigger bottom and smaller breasts and be able to wear clothes that fit me, learn flamenco and avoid humourless inadequate and generally miserable men ??

Would any of you women want to come to dinner with a handsome, bearded man, when you've finished flamenco dancing and horse riding? grin

Being happy

I'm with travelsafar in wanting a day being young and fit again with no aches and pains. Although how awful when the day was over!

I would be an expert surfer and for that I would have to be young and fit for the day.

Same as Kate1949 - oh to feel happy!

I'd like to be able to travel through time. I'd especially like to go back to one of the houses I've lived in and see what it was like there just after it was built in the 1730s - who was living there, what were they wearing and eating, how was it decorated, what everything smelled like.

TerriBull Sat 06-Nov-21 09:53:38

As it's a very hypothetical question what I'd really like to be able to do, which is impossible, would be to time travel back to meet some of my ancestors and ask them "why did you do that? what happened then?, how did that come about " So many questions since I embarked on genealogy I'd like answers to. Of course I may well get a "don't be so impertinent, none of your business" answer given these people were of their time and far less candid than we are today shock

Please tell us more about being an albatross Hetty58. I'm fascinated.

A bird, preferably a big one with talons to protect me. Wedge tail would do it and I could have a nice feed of frogs and rabbits.

Juliet27 Sat 06-Nov-21 10:57:01

I’d like another day with my children when they were 5 and 3

muse Sat 06-Nov-21 10:57:55

Contentment please and I’d share it with my two AC who need some too.

LilacChaser Sat 06-Nov-21 11:00:42

A day of being free of worrying about the future, financially.

Shinamae Sat 06-Nov-21 11:01:21

I would like a day with my late father and brother and aunt May..

To experience for a day what it must be like when you are HRH QE 11.

GrannyMacawell Sat 06-Nov-21 11:37:00

real poverty.

I'd borrow TerriBull's time machine, and when I'd finished chatting to my ancestors as far back as I could go, I'd go for a look around Stonehenge when it was being used for whatever it was meant for, and if there was time I'd go to see a performance of King Lear at The Globe during its first run. I'm guessing that with the use of a time machine I could make the day stretch a bit longer than 24 hours grin.
