If you could press a magic button and fast forward to this time next year, would you?

On no more information than that

Yes please, hopefully bring a school leader will be far more normal by then!

Definitely not. My dad might no longer be with us, my son needs my support, and there will be good things amongst the gloom that will make it all worthwhile.

There was a similar thread a while ago and the huge majority said no which actually surprised me - though everyone’s reasons made perfect sense.

It’s tough to answer for me as I have two very young kids so would be a massive leap in their lives - but on a hypothetical basis I’d like to skip forward 3 months as I’m anticipating this winter being a shower of shite.

No, unless everything i hope happens during the year happens: I've lost four stone, my child has aced her GCSEs, my sale and house move and renovation went smoothly and under budget, my son has got his qualification and dream job... but actually I think I'd like to actually experience it all.

I'd like a sneak peek of how life is but wouldn't want to skip it entirely.

March. I’d like to fast forward to March. I cannot wait for Spring.

No tha is.
I've got loads I want to do.
Buy a house. Have a baby.
I dont have much time re the baby so definitely dont want to waste a year.
Also got young kids so dont want to fast forward their life. Although there are some challenging bits I wouldn't mind skipping- potty training.

No I've just started a years maternity leave. Definitely don't want to miss all my sons firsts.

No!
This maybe insensitive but Covid has meant a much better year for me personally. I was just about to quit my job as utterly fed up with life before the virus hit. Having the time off, a beautiful summer and an unpredictable autumn has perked me up no end.
I am a bit miserable about next year when stuff will start to “ get real”.

OP, I think we all know, based on our luck this year, we'd arrive to find an alternate universe, a casino of evil, and our new daddy, Biff.

I don't want to get there any faster than I have to. 😂

Yep hence my user name.

Definitely not. Due my first daughter in February. Would not want to miss that for the world x

No. I’m sure there’s a lot of joy and laughter amongst the misery. I don’t want to miss those moments with people I love. And what if you fast forward and suddenly there are people missing in your life?
How awful would that be.

No, I need the time to slowly gear up to life how it was pre Covid not be plunged back in!

No, my little boy is only five and I wouldn’t want to miss a year of his life, I’m also getting married in April, so I wouldn’t want to miss our wedding or any of the first year of our marriage.

Can we just fast forward the working day?

A no for me too.... I'd miss my sons growing up

Not a whole year, but I'd happily skip the next five or six months, so I'll be done with chemo, and hopefully life will look a lot more normal.

No because I hate autumn and winter. Plus I am going to the Caribbean in the summer, postponed from this year.

Let’s skip to May, starting with the first bank holiday weekend.

I would settle for a fast forward for 3 weeks at this point. Bypass Christmas.

No, I've got a lot of seeds and a cold frame arriving tomorrow.

Yes without hesitation.

Absolutely not.

All time is precious (even if you don’t realise at the time).

No, life at 41 has made me think I maybe halfway through my life all going well. I don't want to miss any of it.

For every bad that happens, my DD gets in bed with me every morning for a cuddle before we get up. I'm not giving up 90 of those
