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.

I'd be up for that. Let's remember!!

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.

Thank you Redhead56 ? . I tried when I first joined GN in January but no response except someone who had moved from Cornwall.

Recently, someone sent me a pm regarding Cornwall. She lives an hour's drive away but we plan to meet up. Cornwall is a long county!

I left my best friend behind when I moved from Derbyshire 7 years ago. We still ring occasionally but it's not quite the same.

That sounds good BigBertha.

I'd like to dance a Tango with Antonio Banderas.

I'd like to walk down the street with a lion on a lead - don't ask!

I'd like a cottage overlooking the ocean, just a small one bed' will do.

I wish I had been less quick to judge people.

I wish I had some of BigBertha1's hair as mine has always been thin and is not getting any less so as I get older

I wish my house would magically tidy itself and decide for me what needs to go to a charity shop.

1) I wish I knew the answer to a question.
2) I wish to be physically and mentally pain free.
3) I wish I was a more positive person.

Wishy?! One of those days.

1. I wish I had known my Dad before he died.
2, I wish I could find the perfect man for me.
3. I wish I didn’t feel so financially vulnerable.

I wish . . .
That my GD’s school would do something about the bullying that goes on.
That I’d fitness proofed my future when I was younger by keeping on with all the activities I used to do.
That my comfortable new mattress wasn’t so heavy. Note to self, test by lifting as well as sitting on it next time.

I wish I was just a little bit taller.
I wish I had started my Xmas shopping
Today after a bit of a trying day I wish I was retired

Taylor2016 Mon 08-Nov-21 18:06:18

I wish I could dance again (I cannot due to a leg injury caused by a dog)

I wish I had committed to a male suitor

I wish happiness to all GN sunshine

LucyLocket55 Mon 08-Nov-21 18:16:43

I wish my horrid sister in law would get a personality change,
I wish my hips weren’t so big
I wish I had a dog again

grannyrebel7 Mon 08-Nov-21 18:22:30

I wish my kids/grandkids lived nearer.
I wish we could solve the climate crisis.
I wish I looked like Nadia on Stictly.

Strictly

Redhead56 Mon 08-Nov-21 22:36:47

I also wish happiness to all on GN

I wish for a small apartment with a huge balcony overlooking the ocean, and close to my granchildren. (perhaps a lottery win would accomplish that)

I wish my childhood included horsey equestrian experiences. Instead, I lived by reading and dreaming. I'm sure I would have been an Olympic contender.

I wish to go places on my bucket list before knees, hips or budget give up. My joints are actually pretty good, but not sure the budget will stretch.

I wish that two of my teenage grandchildren who are both troubled and troublesome would grow out of this troubled and troublesome period in their lives immediately.

I wish that my husband, who is not the great love of my life but we have been married for quite a long time, didn't have terminal cancer.

I wish that my daughter could have peace of mind and a smoother ride.

BigBertha1 Tue 09-Nov-21 06:35:40

LucyLocket55 I feel exactly the same as you today. My SIL is so horrid my daughters call her Myra Hindley.

Calmlocket

I wish my neighbour from hell would move.?
I wish I had a voodoo doll ?
I wish I had loads of pins?

Oh! Me too! ?

katy1950 Tue 09-Nov-21 10:44:50

I wish I was braver
I wish I could sing
I wish I could bake cakes that didn't turn out like bricks

Tezhar Tue 09-Nov-21 11:08:34

I wish for a million wishes.
I wish that conflict was settled with wooden soldiers on a hobbiest made wooden board war terrain with rolled up paper for bombs and pea shooters for guns.
I wish I hadn't smoked for the last 41 years since the age of 11 and given myself COPD. (But glad I am on my 8th day of being smoke free) :-)

greenlady102 Tue 09-Nov-21 11:10:32

I wish I could win Euromillions
I wish I had lovely hair (going bald)
I wish for 3 more wishes smile

b1zzle Tue 09-Nov-21 11:14:38

Ditto Calmlocket!

LadyGracie Tue 09-Nov-21 11:21:48

1. I wish it would stop raining.
2. I wish my hair would stop falling out.
3. I wish I wasn't so boring.
