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!

Being healthy again. Not feeling anxious and depressed.

Amen to that 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Fully agree!

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.

To be able to sleep deeply for 8 hours every night…….

A great big bucketful of self-confidence!

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

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 self-weeding garden.

A house which never needs cleaning.

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

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

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.

Jennynana shall we do a swap?

Lol sounds like a plan ,not sure you would enjoy having a lively 3 year old jumping around at 6am 🤣 and changing nappies again lol x

gulligranny Thu 23-Jan-25 16:42:17

Gwyllt, yes I'd like one of those too, preferably one that would also turn out lights and close doors and drawers!

Gwyllt Thu 23-Jan-25 16:38:57

A fairy to put away things after my husband

No anxieties and able to do everything I did at 35!

Amen to that.
And a self-cleaning house !!

BrandyGran Thu 23-Jan-25 16:00:52

Rain all night every night and sunshine all day every day.

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

I need it to apply to crows and magpies as well!

Flakesdayout Thu 23-Jan-25 15:47:50

Can I have two? The strength and energy I had when I was younger. The mind is willing but the body is not able.

Not to always want chocolate after I have eaten a sensible healthy diet conscious meal.

A husband who listens.

If only!

An ironing machine

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

I was about to say something similar. Ironing is unnecessary and a terrible waste of time.

Can I be "greedy" and have 3 wishes:

- Every aspect of my body at optimum level and nothing wrong with either its health or its looks. So 30 years old and none of the "womens issues" I had back then would about do that.

- My house magically transformed into exactly as required (ie the missing 3rd bedroom, garage, utility room, 2nd bathroom, etc) and being self-cleaning

- Able to eat/drink/booze whatever I wanted without putting on weight/getting health problems from any chemicals they'd added to it/etc.
