...one of those full sized rocking horses, the sort on sliders rather than curved rockers iyswim. So I could climb on and "ride" away to my heart's content, any time I pleased. They cost thousands, though, don't they?

What's on your "don't care how daft it sounds", purely self indulgent, wish list?

😅 I'd quite like a flamingo myself. Not really, just in fantasy. 🦩

A pet squirrel or two (I know, that’s prohibited and for a very good reason but ohhhh how I wish!)

a spare room/loft with enough space for a full sized model railway layout! I had one as a kid and bloody loved it but sadly there’s no room in our tiny house for one now :(

I used to have to go to the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital regularly when I was a child and they had one of those rocking horses - I remember it seeming huge and being lifted to sit on it! One of my most vivid childhood memories.

Anyway, mines a live-in masseuse. One that really pummels you! I have a bad back/neck and whilst dh is very willing he just can’t do it for long enough and doesn’t have the best technique!

I'd like a pet sloth.

They're cute and I would look active in comparison.

I would love a bar of chocolate like chocolate used to taste in my childhood.

I have such a thing! I bought it when I was pregnant with ds1, but neither of my dcs bothered with it. It lives in the garage now because there's no room for it in the house 😢

A Victorian curio of taxidermy squirrels playing cards and smoking.

I would love a crow to visit me.

Someone to wave a magic wand and sort out all my problems.

A sunny white room to dance in

A Sully from Monsters inc to give me the longest tightest hug whenever I wanted.
