A lovely long nap for me!

Feeling a bit delicate after a really good night out last night, so a nap would be amazing 😴

  • Another full body massage (maybe we could group hire someone for a day??)
  • A ridiculously expensive bunch of flowers (stopped buying due to COL)
  • A really good murder-mystery to binge.

A new manager. I wish my current one would leave.

Wednesdaysotherchild · 13/07/2024 20:31

Some of that alleged second trimester energy… it’s eluding me so far!

Diversion · 13/07/2024 20:34

@HadEnoughOfBears You are not pathetic at all. I am a few years older than you, my mum has been dead for almost 2 years and yet sometimes I wish she was here to give me either a few wise words or a good talking to. Be kind to yourself 😊

OCaledonia · 13/07/2024 20:36

Freedom from massive anxiety. @Raspberrymoon49 peace of mind.. I hear you
And @GalileoHumpkins ..an off switch for overthinking would be marvellous, too .

I just want some sun! it's another grey, cold and rainy day in this corner of Yorkshire. I've just browsed flights though and fingers crossed will be booking a sunny week away in the Med once we can confirm a week off work - hoping to go at the end of Sept so something to look forward to 😎

@Cattery apart from the ridiculous, over the top noise from my neighbours (who have a TV on full volume in the garden to accompany the shrieking adults - who will start around 3pm - and the screaming and crying kids - who will start around the 6/7pm witching hour because they want to go to bed but will be ignored), I’ve managed to keep it totally off my radar. I mean, I’ll think ‘good for them’ if they win but I’ll be so so pleased it’s over.

dontlookbackinangerr · 13/07/2024 20:40

A big long comforting safe warm hug where the world just melts away

EBearhug · 13/07/2024 20:43

A full body massage, particularly focussing on my calves, glutes and shoulders.

Company. Am alone and feeling extra alone because on-off again ex is def OFF (and with someone else)

A cuddle

Someone to say they find me attractive, funny, kind etc. and mean it

Someone to tidy my tip of a house while I catch up on (boring) work that I’m late with

No food required though as just treated my sorry self to a takeaway jerk chicken with rice and peas. Stuffed!

Hmm company here too. A friend to laugh with. A glass of wine
Alternatively
Week off from being single mum... the Weight of it all is slowly breaking me

A better job

I'd settle for A job.
Hate not working.
Other than that some lovely vanilla ice cream and blackberries.

An industrial size washing machine, dryer and a bottomless hoover! After 2 months of on and off travel for work and leisure, I am just going under and appliances are not coping. Load after load, everything is full (lint, water tank, dust bin), needs to be emptied and recharged midway, ugh...
DH chimed in that we might do with an extra garden bin as well. As current one is stuffed by now.

SerafinasGoose · 13/07/2024 20:56

Blue sky and a beautiful sunset. The contrast grey clouds and drizzle are starting to send me loopy.

RosieIs44 · 13/07/2024 20:56

@Doubledded123 I hear you. Although my child’s dad has her tonight, it’s only increasing my loneliness! Can’t win

A big mac.

What, like this?

What could you really do with right now?
Cakeandcardio · 13/07/2024 21:22

My mum. She's been gone 20 years but I've never missed her more than now. Just want someone to take care of me after having my 2nd baby.

HadEnoughOfBears · 13/07/2024 18:10

My mum.

Which is really fucking pathetic as I'm 50 years old and she's been dead for 10 years.

What I really need is to get a grip.

Big hugs to you. Not pathetic at all. You're never too old to need your mum. 💐

outdamnedspots · 13/07/2024 21:39

ChookaPooka · 13/07/2024 18:34

Direction.
At a crossroads and for the first time in my life I’m flailing around looking to get a grip, kinda understand why people have life coaches now 🫣

I'm sorry. What are you struggling with?

outdamnedspots · 13/07/2024 21:41

A clean house. Really clean, with a deep clean. A tidy house. And a tidy garden. With no triffid-like weeds.

Daffyyellow · 13/07/2024 23:42

Someone to love and look after me.

A positive bank balance.

A holiday.

A cuddle.

GettingStuffed · 13/07/2024 23:43

A new hip. My arthritis has got so bad.

HcbSS · 13/07/2024 23:47

A massive hug from my lovely friend, the only one who has fully got me since my gran died. But I don’t want to bother her, she has been in pain with her tooth all week and has felt drained, plus I have taken enough of her time.

Bringitonnowibeg · 14/07/2024 00:04

A disability social worker 😳 with 2 autistic children and third pending. Prob need a miracle really so not gonna happen.

justjuggling · 14/07/2024 01:13

A lottery win and a 3 stone weight loss.

Englishrose223 · 14/07/2024 01:16

A big cry.
