Purplerain101 · 24/02/2018 17:00

Just for fun - if you had 3 wishes what would you wish for?

Here are mine:

  1. For myself, OH and my family to be completely healthy until we all die in old age.
  1. To win 10 million on the lottery.
  1. To eat whatever I want and never gain weight.

  1. Unlimited money
  1. To be skinny and stay skinny no matter what I eat
  1. No more mental illnesses

  1. A secure job with visa/green card for my DH so we could move back to the only place which has ever felt like home for us.
  1. For a cancer-free future for my wee family.
  1. For my DS to wise up with his attitude and behaviour, but I guess really that he would know his worth and grow in genuine confidence and happiness as I know that is the root of so many of his issues.

  1. for my babies to be alive. 2-3) see above...

To be in a different (and happier) relationship than I am in now without hurting our daughter :(
To be able to afford a nice home to live in
For my daughter to live a long, happy and healthy life

World peace
For my children to have happy, safe, fulfilled lives

  1. My Arthritis to go away permanently.
  2. To win 200k on the lottery, this would clear our mortgage and other debts and leave us some savings too.
  3. My Mum to come back. She passed away 2.5 years ago. I know it’s pathetic but I just want her back.

  1. An end to war and conflic of any kind between countries
  2. Win the Euromillions, minimum 40 million
  3. Be a fabulous size 10 regardless of food/booze consumed

  • Health for my family
  • No financial worries (I don’t want to be stinking rich, but mortgage-free would be nice)
  • For my Auntie to LTB and finally be happy.

For people to stop eating meat/dairy. Just that.

It goes past "choice" when animals are being culled in their billions. The horrific unthinkable suffering they endure because people are too selfish is heartbreaking. Not to mention the fact it is carcinogenic and killing the earth. I'm tired of hearing excuses tbh.

  1. A bedroom big enough for a proper double bed.
  2. Hot tub.
  3. Natural swimming pool.
Chasingsquirrels · 24/02/2018 18:46

DH not to have died and live to a healthy old age.
tbh if I could have that I'd give the other 2 wishes away.

Davros · 24/02/2018 18:50
  1. DH not to have Parkinson's
  2. DS not to have autism
  3. DD to be healthy forever
bobstersmum · 24/02/2018 18:51

I would wish for myself and family to all be healthy
I would wish for safe happy lives for all of my children
And I would wish for my bald patch from alopecia to grow back and never return
The last one is selfish and vain I know.

tonsattingforbjudes · 24/02/2018 18:54

Mine's the same as Idon'tdowindows but for my best friend. That the secondary cancer would be cured and she would live.
If I had two more I'd go for world peace and an end to famine everywhere in the world.

ginghamstarfish · 24/02/2018 19:06

For me and my loved ones to have good health into a sprightly old age
World peace (should also ensure there is enough healthcare and food for all)
More wishes, or failing that, a few million quid

crispsahoy · 24/02/2018 19:08

I would want DH to have some time again with his dad. 5mins, an hour, a day anything!!

A nice lotto win so dh & I can make sure we're sorted & settled as are my parents and our children.

And good health for us all

VinoEsmeralda · 24/02/2018 19:17

  2. Win £5m on the lottery
  3. Have a talent. I'm 'good' at a few things but not amazing at one thing. I don't really mind what - maybe be amazing at cooking or maybe playing music.
