In 1 minute?

In 1 day?

In 1 week?

In 1 year?

Me:
1 min: A slice of perfect Victoria Sandwich
1 day: all my laundry dry and put away
1 week: A meal with someone I love very much and haven't seen for ages
1 year: a holiday budget that is back up to full strength!

I need someone to die so my DH can have a heart transplant. How utterly heart-breaking is that?

springmachine · 20/08/2018 20:05

In a minute - to get out of the bath and dry off in peace

In a day - to have sorted some important paperwork and maybe a decent shag

In a week - for AF to have arrived and gone without fuss

In a year - to be planning the next chapter - potential extension, TTC number 2.

@NewYearNewMe18 Thanks

It's hard to give warmth and compassion as so many people wouldn't have gone through what you are going through but I hope you find contentment soon.
It's such a. Bitter sweet situation should your needs be met and I wish that for you but I don't wish it on the other family involved

A cup of tea
A good night's sleep
A tidy house
A new career

Flowers @newyear. That is so tough to be going through.

IlPorcupinoNilSodomyEst · 20/08/2018 21:13

A refill of my wine glass
A miraculous house-tidying fairy and birthday party organiser
A miraculous garden-tidying fairy
For DH to get the job he really wants

[Thanks] NewYear

IlPorcupinoNilSodomyEst · 20/08/2018 21:15

Perhaps what I need right now is somebody to tell me how to do flowers ...

I got my 1 minute wish...will have to report back about the 1 day later on. I'm off to get dressed in a mo.

It's at my house so on my 'turf' but still not looking forward to it!

1 minute - to go to the loo without being followed by my dog or my teenagers shouting "muuuuuuuuum"
1 day - to sleep through the night
1 week - to not have to remember every single bloody thing necessary to keep the house running, the dog fed and the kids back to school
1 year - to feel mentally well myself and not have to constantly worry about DS committing suicide.

lucysmam · 21/08/2018 19:21

Meeting was productive and I think successful (helped by cake and much coffee!).

Hopefully, going forward, things will not be quite so strained with the other person :)
