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 quiet place in the corner with good lighting and my stupid romantic books when visiting in-laws who have never read a book and talk all day long saying how bored they are.. They weren’t brought up to read and have never learned the joy of entering another world in a crowded room of people who need to be noticed.

Sally Wally, forgot to say I am reading a book about chocolate making in Switzerland. Too tired to get up and find the name.

Don't worry I have GC younger than 3 so still doing nappy changes. At least a 3 year old flinging themself on you is joyous, spending over an hour trying to get a teenager out of bed is anything but joyous.

I guess both start to be a bit annoying after a time.

Yes it can be annoying ,especially this time of year when it's do dark in the morning
I can imagine your frustration everyday ,tou must have the patients of a saint lol
Just aswell your used to nappy changing as my grandson gets through a few everyday and I use terry nappies aswell lol

A house which never needs cleaning.

A self-weeding garden.

A real lawn that never needs mowing. I mow it myself and I refuse to pay to have it done for me but time is not on my side.

A mirror that doesn't show me my grandmother every morning.

A great big bucketful of self-confidence!

Women’s trousers and jeans in particular that come categorised in waist and leg length !

Marks & Spencers do different lengths. Wish I'd clicked years earlier that that is the case. But now I just look for "petite" length for myself and saves the hassle - and my amateurish sewing - of having to take them up.

Another me so we could get everything done between us in one day.

Being healthy again. Not feeling anxious and depressed.

Amen to that 🙏🏾🙏🏾
