Put on a little weight and hopefully increase stamina.

Excellent idea for chat and nice to know what prompted it friedgreentomatoes2 right now, it would be to have a chance to daydream like I used to when I was young, it helped me to stop overthinking and drift off to sleep.

To stop over analysis of everything. Worry less. Live life to the full. To have more yarn!🧢

a lovely warm massage with beautiful scented oils, and not worrying about the heating and lack of the winter fuel money. someone to be touching me to calm me down and relax
Oh well watch for a pig flying overhead!

A break from the boring monotony of housework, washing, ironing, shopping, cooking, clearing up seven days a week.

I know there are many things worse than monotony and I should count my blessings but I haven't been away for nine years so just a few days in Cornwall would be nice.

Thank you for starting this thread FGT.grin

Nothing in particular right now Oops but thanks for asking. 😁
I started the thread because I’d read an interesting article earlier from a psychologist who said asking this question of a friend is often a kindness because most people can think of something small that would help if life overwhelms them in some way. It just got me thinking.

How about a small, magical fairy that sorts through file cabinets and closets?

January seems to be a month for tidying, and DH is on a tear. Unfortunately he likes to make lists for me as well!
