As you Fairy Godmother du jour I grant you 3 Wishes but there are conditions:-
1. They have to be about you
2. Take it as read that we all want World Peace/ end of pandemic etc so dont include those kind of wishes.
3. Treat it lightheartedly.
Here are mine;-
1. I wish I had kept my trap shut more often so I wish to be able to do that from now on.
2. I wish I had good legs but I dont so I wish I could just forget about them and be glad they still work.
3. I wish I could stop fretting about my hair which is abundant and it could be the opposite so shut up me.

I'm looking forward to hearing yours.

Good thread Bertha.

1. I wish I hadn't kept my mouth shut quite so much.
2 I wish my legs were better too
3 I wish I could have some of Bertha's hair as mine is not at all abundant.

I would add that I have never seen Bigbertha's hair look anything less than lovely.

I wish my hair was thicker. Two of my daily tablets cause hair loss!
I wish I could visit my family in Australia. We haven’t met up since my niece’s wedding in Sydney in December 2019.
I wish - and I should have put this first - that OH’s health, and in particular his restless legs syndrome, could improve.

I wish my nose turned up at the end. I've never liked my nose.
I wish I was just a little bit better off financially. I've always had to struggle.
I wish my hair was blonde and wavy.

I wish I had BigBertha's hair, as kitty says it always looks lovely and mine is slowly disappearing!

I wish I found it easier to get rid of stuff I will never use again!

I wish I looked gorgeous without makeup and did not look like my mum did just before she died at 100!

I wish I could be in two places at once ( not sure how that would work? Body double??)

I wish I could see into the future to check if I can book a meet up, school event, dentist appointment that would not require cancelling because of (insert reason).

I wish all my nieces and nephews would live contented, fulfilled lives, whatever path they decide to follow.

Redhead56 Mon 08-Nov-21 13:25:04

Muse just a suggestion why don’t you see if any grans live in or around your area you could have a meet up. There are always requests for meet ups without giving exact locations.

BigBertha1 Mon 08-Nov-21 13:34:47

Thank you all for the comments. Of course I will would grant them all if I had the power. Thankyou kittylester and dragongfly I could stuff cushions with this thatch on my head! I wish I could meet you both for coffee again but its a long way to come now- perhaps a half way meet up in the summer?
