A small thing, but sadly impossible thing that would make life better

This is lighthearted btw!

Having dieted for ages I should like someone to invent a chocolate bar which tastes like chocolate but which has zero calories!

A face cream that actually removed lines and wrinkles!

A husband who would actually wear his hearing aids.

SusieWong - a self cleaning bathroom is within your grasp. I remember reading an article some years ago about a chap who trained giant slugs from the garden to live in his bathroom and eat all the dirt at night. I believe his wife divorced him a short time later...

UGH!

Sunshine every day and warmth (not too hot please) 🌞🌞

An electrified shopping trolley would make life easier. Using a trolley saves carrying heavy bags, but it is still a struggle pulling the thing up all the hills where I live. An attached platform with an electric motor would be a Godsend.

A cat that cleaned himself properly before jumping onto the bed - there are muddy pawprints on the duvet...

An ironing machine

I gave up ironing long ago - I find that it's not something I miss. Very little really needs an iron!

HA HA HA!

I really want someone to invent something when when I'm in a library or book shop looking at the book spines and my head and neck and back are in weird positions.

I want something when I can stand up straight to look at the spines without twisting myself in to a painful curly wurly!

The ability to get to sleep easily and sleep through the night. It would be transformative!

Jennynana shall we do a swap?

Yes indeed sallywally and a big glass of red the same.

Someone who loves to exercise and willing to transfer their energy use to me. That would leave me free to paint and craft to my heart’s delight.

An alcohol free Malbec that tastes like the real thing.

I can relate to both lol
My grandson not waking up at 6am every morning lol

My GS is probably older but I wish mine would wake up in time for school without me having to spend an hour or more trying to get himself out of bed.

Oh dear I remember those days lol the arguments etc lol
My grandson is 3 years old ,he's awake at 6am and like to run into my bedroom and jump on the bed

A body that stopped ageing!

A no-fly zone over my house and garden that only applies to seagulls and pigeons would be good.

Jennynanna Wed 22-Jan-25 21:10:21

Be nice if my grandson could change his nappy on his own in the morning before running and jumping on my bed at 6am lol
Though not sure he could handle nappy pins 🧷🧷

A nice house/bungalow. We are trying to move. Without any success after a year. Would be nice to catch a break.
