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

Like you Smileless Having my kids and GC altogether in one place all loving each other and us, with no fighting or stress.

Estrangement is hard, especially at this time of year.

I'd like to go back to a time where I could make a change to my future, especially career and husbands. I certainly wish I'd met my current husband, whom I've been with 21 years, a lot earlier. We grew up living less than 1/2 mile apart and had a mutual friend!

Id like 4 days please. I'd love to have the day each of my children were born. Snuggled up with a new baby in my arms, bliss, maybe starting just after delivery, I don't actually want to go through labour again.

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

This is such a beautiful answer and exactly what I would choose too.

Oh yes, that is a perfect answer : )

What Pollytickle said, re Smileless and Grandmafrench.

Smileless, hoping and praying that your wish comes true.

Grandmafrench, so lovely to see you, you always know just what to say. You are greatly missed.

I'd like to spend the day with my mum. It's been many years now since we lost her. It was so sudden and so much was left unsaid.

An extra day with my husband would do me or - maybe I'd be even more aware of his loss.

I'd like to be a world class ski jumper. How glorious to be airborne for those few seconds, landing perfectly in a flurry of snow. As it is, I'm terrified of heights, but wish I weren't.

I'd like to be a cat

A lovely comment Grandmafrench and I hope that day lasts forever too.

What a lovely thing to say to Smileless Grandmafrench, may I echo your sentiment and hope it comes true one day.
Your thoughtful and intuitive posts are much missed elsewhere.

Grandmafrench Sat 06-Nov-21 14:32:47

Mr. S. and I being GP's to our GC.

Magic powers, please. The grass can cut itself, shrubs can prune themselves, etc. I could just stand back while the food prepared itself, the house become dusted and vacuumed with no effort from me except a polite request.

Next day I'd have to go back to doing these things but a rest from them all would be good.

Gwenisgreat1 Sat 06-Nov-21 13:52:40

I'd be a fly on the wall - keeping out of the way of swatters, assuming I lived that long!!

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 06-Nov-21 13:48:57

Sorry ‘other people were’…

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 06-Nov-21 13:48:15

witzend my head is firmly stuck in the sand and I refuse to believe that I am descended from fish, apes or anything else! I fully accept that other people’s were of course (no offence intended anyone!)?.

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 06-Nov-21 13:36:08

I would love to go back to the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, my favourite historical periods, and meet my ancestors from those times.
