I don't think I'm asking for much

I just want...
good mental health/to feel less anxious.
My hair to stop thinning and being frizzy.
Clear skin.
Healthy teeth and gums.
Jowls to fuck off.
Boobs and belly to be greatly reduced.
Have nice outfits that don't need ironing.
Live in a clean and tidy house with a pleasant garden.
Work that I enjoy and that pays enough.

My DH asked me what do I want and was hit with this tirade without me drawing breath.

He meant did I want tea or coffee 😁

What do you want? Tirades welcome.

A lavender hedge sounds lovely.

Someone to love 😊
I have a lot to give, and nobody to share it with 😕

World peace and a pair of glasses that don't continually either rub on my ears or slide down my nose. Or steam up. Or get smeared.

Give all that love to yourself!
After I'd been away from my first husband for a while and thought I might quite like another relationship (but wasn't ready)
I decided to 'be my own boyfriend' and do nice things for myself, arrange days out and bought actual birthday gifts for myself (extra points for online shops that do gift wrapping)

It sounds a bit weird but it honestly worked!
I was so much more content.

Thank you 😊 To be honest, after some very rocky years (several long stories) I'm actually the happiest I've been for a long, long time, and I'm very good to myself 😊. Just need someone to share it with 😊
Thanks again 😊👍

I don’t want to have to constantly think of dinner ideas

I hear you!
Back when I was super organised I had a rolling three week menu with laminated shopping lists.
I aspire to being that organised again.
Thinking about it, We saved a fortune doing that.

It was totally worth the man hours it took to set up.
I'm going to sit myself down with a notebook and the Tesco app once the toddler is down for the night

less fat on stomach and arms, more fat on face, boobs and bum. less wrinkles.
a house with no problems (damp/leaks) and all done up lovely.

@hideawayforever why the fuck is our hair disappearing from our scalp only to pop out of our face? (Also nipples in my case)
