After the day from hell I wish I won the lottery this week and go into work hand my notice in and tell the micro managing little tossers I work for why .
if I’m going to wish for anything I’ll also wish that my disabled non verbal son could speak just so he could tell me he’s happy or not .
also my last wish please can I be a size 8 ?

I would love for no one in my immediate family (ie me, DH, DCs) to be ill for the rest of 2022.

I just wish we could stop having to worry about money.

For DH not to have just been diagnosed with cancer.

A lotto win as my own health -mental and physical- isn’t good and I am struggling to continue to work.

Allthegoodnamesarechosen · 15/12/2022 22:49

To go for a walk. I did so use to love walking,and haven’t been able to walk more than 300 metres on a very flat and even surface since 2008.

XenoBitch · 15/12/2022 22:50

I wish I was well enough to work, and that my dog will live forever.

PauliesWalnuts · 15/12/2022 22:51

That my mum, dad and dining were still here. Miss them muchly.

HerRoyalNotness · 15/12/2022 22:52

For my Dc anxiety to disappear along with his ADHD
for my shoulder to be fixed so I’m not in pain all day and to be able to lie on it to sleep without being agony
for my RA to go away and have my energy back

I wish your DH well. Two years ago my DH had his first chemo on Christmas Eve, I still remember that day well. I hope you both have a peaceful Christmas.

I wish life could go back to what is was three years ago.

MadameSzyszkoBohusz · 15/12/2022 22:55

Ooof. Reading all of these makes me feel very lucky - my wishes would be entirely superficial in comparison. So I'll just wish for all of your wishes to come true.

I was about to say the same. Wishing that you all get everything you need.

My mum was this week too and l gave felt sick ever since. Sorry for you xx

carefulcalculator · 15/12/2022 22:56

I wish the government would feed school children to stop the horrible hunger.

fatsinglereadytomingle · 15/12/2022 22:57

For a lottery win. Not even masses of money just enough to buy out DH who fucked off a few weeks ago and to pay off the mortgage so I can stay in the house....maybe with some left over to fund some minor cosmetic surgery read for the dating scene

@FutureUncertain sorry to hear about your husband. I hope his treatment goes well

Choccolatte · 15/12/2022 22:58

For everyone in the world to work towards making the whole planet a great place to live for all living things.

SoundsOfThunder · 15/12/2022 23:00

To go back to a normal world pre covid.

  • healthy family

For my Parkinson’s to vanish ( 60) and for my 3D issues to go away, can’t drive sometimes see double, just out and about ( 18 maths on), just like some improvement, optically ok, tho think neuron issues

Smallorangecat · 15/12/2022 23:20

To have DH back. I have had enough of being a widow now.

To not have to work a night shift the Friday before Christmas because I have no idea how I am going to get through Christmas on about 4 hrs sleep between getting up on the Friday and going to bed on Christmas Day.

For a couple of child free hours between now and Christmas to wrap their presents. One child broke up from school today and the other tomorrow so I will either be with them or at work and haven’t wrapped most of the presents.

pinneddownbytabbies · 15/12/2022 23:22

We have no heating or hot water at the moment, so I am wishing for our boiler to get fixed tomorrow.

mamabear715 · 15/12/2022 23:26

For our NHS to get fixed so that ill people weren't having to wait. :-(

Cocopogo · 15/12/2022 23:27

I wish the government would not give out money willy nilly like the cost of living payment and furlough scheme etc and would use it for free hot school meals for all children and free bus pass to school for all children so I don’t have to choose between my child being hungry or walking two miles to school in -7.
I wish ASD diagnosis was 6 months not 4+ years due to covid backlog on an already broken system.
I wish the NHS had enough staff, beds etc so everyone could get seen.

Tunnocks2022 · 15/12/2022 23:28

It’s the anniversary of DH’s death so I’ll have him back now please. The DC need him so much. So do I. I can’t believe how long I’ve been doing this alone now. I just want him to give me a hug.

mondaytosunday · 15/12/2022 23:34

I wish for me to be a size 12-14. And to live long enough for both my kids to be settled with their own families.
I wish for my son in the short term to pass his theory test, get the job he wants in the next year and be good and happy at it.
I wish my daughter to keep going as she is and realise her dreams.
And I wish my husband was still alive.
