What do you yearn for?

[Happysalley]

Ever since I can remember, I've wanted a beautiful home. It doesn't have to be grand or fancy. Somewhere rural, quiet, safe, and enough bedrooms so me and the dc can have one each. An extra room for a yoga studio/sewing room would be the icing on the cake. A decent garden, flat and secure, and full of plants.

I've lived my entire life in council flats and I know I'm incredibly lucky to have a roof over my head. Even so, I still spend hours nosing on rightmove or looking at other people's houses and imagining what it would be like to live there.

I feel you on the MOT. I have a friend whose car is one year newer than mine who always says 'MOT is just £60'.

My last one cost me just under £600

On that note, one of my dreams is to own a brand new car. Never in my life have I ever had one, my parents also had old bangers.

I was a child having my meals cooked for me and not a bill to pay .

Santa was real, my school day was finished at 1.45 and I had hours to play and do what I liked until dinner time.

I always wanted enough money to be able to make the people I care about comfortable and be able to help random people just because I could.

So, I made it happen. Now I'm working on trying to benefit an entire generation because our children deserve it.

@EmmaEmerald, @NotAnotherBathBomb, @Thatwastheweekthatwasnt that was interesting, thank you for sharing 😊

💐💐💐 for everyone going through struggles.

@unconventionalopinion That sounds intriguing.

@cassiastatham I was a teen in the 90s. No responsibilities, had a lovely family and friends. Went to gigs and the pub, had time to do the things I wanted to do.
The future was all stretched out ahead of me - would I go to uni? What job would I do? Where would I travel to? Who would I marry/have kids with?
Now I’m middle aged, with a spare tire and aging parents and a demanding job and family life. It’s my job to look after others and I don’t have the answers (I fake confidence 😂) I’m more tired and weary for the future. Hence the yearning. Boo.

Also continuing on the 90s theme - by the middle of the decade we had despatched the Tories, we had a much younger more dynamic leader in Blair (well we all thought so at the time) we were over the recession at the start of the 90s and there was such a optimism generally, there was all that Cool Britannia stuff too

Sending you love x

The body I had when I was thirty

It doesn’t even has to look god

Just has to not hurt

I'm reading this and thinking that i don't yearn. There are things i would be happy to have that i don't but I'm pretty content.

The man I cannot have

To experience romance and true connection with a handsome man. Would like to know how it feels to be adored.

he has to be FIT

You sound great @Allmyarseandpeggymartin wish we could find a time machine and all go back to the 90's, like Tardis flight

@NotAnotherBathBomb

How was your day today? What did you do? 😛

Our son back who we lost in 2021

My Mum
Some savings enough to just have a holiday every year without thinking about it just " oh it's January lets book a holiday"
A fabulous beach with clear blue warm sea.

I am fortunate in lots of ways, but hey it would be nice to have it ALL.

A happy and equal relationship.. not me doing everything and being so burnt out i could cry.

Enough money to do everything me and my children want too and not have to count every penny and to move house to a nice area and to own it.

A relaxing day on my own and a lay in😂!( don't think i'll be having one of these for atleast 10-15 years 😂

Prayers for you and your family.

Peace of mind
