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.

inishowen That is terrible behaviour from them. If I had a magic wand I'd give you that courage to shout next time. Is there anyone at work who can help getting these creeps reprimanded?

Inishowen appears to be talking in the past. Nobody today would surely put up with what is basically assault.

? basically ditto! Plus an alternative second wish that I could just be back at pre hysterectomy weight of a slender 12.5 stones!?

I wish my naturally curly hair would behave, look like Medusa at moment

Wish I was confident when much younger, used to be very shy

And wish I’d stop being so clumsy, second fall in eight weeks……..must take more water with it!!!! (Joke)

I wish I could go shopping (or anywhere else) without needing to find a loo every few minutes!

I wish I could motivate myself to do the ironing, we'll be naked soon.

I wish I could lose the two stone I put on during the lockdowns.

1) I wish my spinal operation effects would heal up perfectly.

2) I wish my DD could have the baby she so longs for.

3) I wish my DH were happier given he has everything in the world he could want. (Except his own steam train and line.)

I wish I were Tabatha Twitchit ...
I wish I didnt have wrinkles
I wish dust would take offence at being ignored...and go away by itself..

1. I wish I lived in Gull Cottage. It was featured in the movie The Ghost and Mrs Muir. Along with this wish, Rex Harrison would be my ghost.

2. I wish I could still play tennis..arthritis in big toe joint and bad knees.

3. I wish my friends would stop dying. I am 84. My last friend was 91 and we hoped we would go together, but that was also the plan with another friend.

Lupin Tue 09-Nov-21 13:54:31

I wish I was granted three wishes every day
I wish I had all my teeth
I wish I could play the piano like Jules Holland

I wish both my husband and myself could have another 30 years together, we'd both be over 100 then, in good health and as happy as we are now.
I wish we could be certain that we will always be able to pay our bills for the rest of our lives without anxiety.
I wish my children and grandchildren will get through life happy, healthy and solvent.

Treetops05 Tue 09-Nov-21 13:26:08

I wish my health was better, but it's better than some deal with so should be grateful

I wish my son will achieve the degree he has hoped for and that the ideal job turns up in the South West

I wish my daughters partner would realise what a wonderful family he could have if he even tried to be nice - or that he leaves...

1) I wish I could lose the weight I have gained in the last two years

2) I wish my eyebrows would grow back, only have a thin line

3) I wish my body didn’t ache so much.

inishowen Tue 09-Nov-21 13:09:20

I wish I wouldn't get anxious about every little thing.
I wish I'd shouted loudly when creepy work colleagues made sexist remarks and thought smacking a passing bottom was OK.
I wish I loved cleaning!

grandtanteJE65 Tue 09-Nov-21 12:17:53

I wish my android phone would behave itself, or that I could afford one that would.

I wish a homeless brother and sister pair of kittens would turn up on the door-step, so I won't need to choose two from 20 equally adorable one in the cat-and-dog home!

pinkjj27 Tue 09-Nov-21 12:10:41

I wish I didn’t have dry itchy skin
I wish I could be selfish
I wish I had three more wishes
muse where do you live ? I am in the south East, Hampshire if that helps.

knspol Tue 09-Nov-21 12:08:34

I wish I could regain the confidence of my younger days.

I wish I had a few really good friends

I wish I was closer to my DIL

Diggingdoris Tue 09-Nov-21 12:07:56

I wish I had the nerve to declutter, and a DH that would agree to it.
I wish my hair was getting thicker not thinner.
I wish our dog didn't want to savage every cat he sees. I've been longing for a cat for years. (Any training tips welcomed)

Growing0ldDisgracefully Tue 09-Nov-21 11:35:37

I wish I had the healthy, slim body and the hair of my 20-something self (that takes care of a lot of wishes in a bumper bargain wish haha!)

I wish my house was immaculate.

I wish it was summer.

HannahLoisLuke Tue 09-Nov-21 11:29:28

I wish I could walk more than a few yards without gasping for breath ( no, I don’t smoke but I used to, hence wish number 2)
I wish I’d never smoked.
I wish I could lose this extra stone that appeared when I stopped smoking ?

Rosina Tue 09-Nov-21 11:26:14

I wish I could say 'Hey Presto' and be instantly moved to a house of my choice instead of going through conveyancing - again!

I wish I was 2" taller and then I wouldn't need a diet.

I wish my OH wasn't so grumpy.

Joesoap Tue 09-Nov-21 11:25:03

I wish I could swim
I wish I could stop worrying about everything
I wish I was in my twenties again
