[Kate1949] I desperately need to be more positive and not 'be in my head' so much. I am an over-thinker too.

I’ve got mine🎉

My tenants have given notice and I can finally have my own house back!

Now I hope they haven’t done too much damage…………

Oh and that they will actually go🙄

Yes I hope my French holiday which ends on Friday hasn’t cost me half a stone on the scales

Ha hope not sago 🤞

My wish? That the financial ombudsman finally finds in my favour and that my bank refunds me the very very large sum that they failed to stop scammers getting me to give them.

Oh hopefully 🤞

Easy to look at these things and think " Yeah right" but maybe worth a shot?

To stop panicking and catastrophising. To be more positive - well positive at all because I am not at all positive.

I would dearly like to regain a little more mobility BUT this is somewhat insignificant by comparison to others wishes so I’m thankful for waking up each morning. Happy October GNetters! 🎃🍂

I really need to get on and sort out a new kitchen. Ours was installed in the late 80s and although getting decidedly shabby, was still working fine until recently, when the microwave part of our combi microwave packed up.

So I’ve got a very cheap replacement microwave from Argos, but the whole thing needs replacing and I’m dreading all the faff and hassle! Not exactly relishing the expense, either…

To live 'in the present' and enjoy those little moments of peace when they come along. To be a tad braver and start saying YES to things, maybe ALL the thingssmile

Like what? smile I'm contemplating belly dancing tonight. Not in my own home I hasten to add.

I shy away from invites to things all the time Stripeygran, lots of hobbies/interests etc but enjoy them alone!
I don't feel any anxiety about going to an event or concert on my own but duck out of groups and clubs , even a coffee date renders me sleepless the night before!
I really like people so my hope is to crack this!

grandMattie I do so hope you will be reimbursed the huge sum of money stolen by the scammers. 🙏
My particular personal hope is that my house move will happen in the next few weeks.
I send everyone kindest hopes and wishes for a good October.

After such a lovely September I hope the weather holds out just a little bit longer...

I shall be seeing GC too in a few weeks- so that's something to look forward to!

Magenta8 Wed 01-Oct-25 09:06:12

As well as hoping everyone on GN a good month, I hope to get through the month without anything too bad happening.

I wish anyone born in October a happy birthday.

I also want to be stronger and have the energy to walk further after recent medical issues.

StripeyGran Wed 01-Oct-25 08:58:23

I wish you all well with your hopes. Shall we reconvene and see how its going?

Babs03 Wed 01-Oct-25 08:56:35

That my DH has a better quality of life 🙏🏾🙏🏾

I want to be a bit stronger and walk a bit further.
Day by day.

I can feel the darkness descending so my hope would be to stay well, enjoy a few things, improve my surroundings a bit.

Oh and be 2 lb lighter by November 1st.
