Mine is to climb Everest.

Never going to happen, but it's still my goal! I'll settle for seeing it in the flesh... maybe...

Funding a proper library with a brilliant book series. When they are made into films I’m going to open a chain of help centres. You just walk in and they help you.

EleanorAbernathy · 15/12/2018 23:51

And to type a message on here on my phone without any mistakes in it (fat fingers! ) Grin

Have a number one single. Unfortunately, I'm not sure any amount of auto tune and singing lessons will make that a reality.

I wanted to meet a lovely young man who had a wardrobe full of fur coats through which I could visit a magical land, but I assumed it wouldn't happen - then I went to university and started LARP and exactly that occurred.
I also really wanted to do the scene in Dr Who where he is knocked out and taken to hospital and they find two heartbeats, so my early pregnancy exams were very satisfying.

Get married again. DH died two years ago and really I just want to be married to him again.

Iltavilli · 16/12/2018 00:30

Become Dolly Parton. Or failing that, move to a remote spot in Scotland where there are lots of lovely highland cows, and puffins etc and no people.

WhirlAndTwirl · 16/12/2018 00:36

I love photography. I’d like to collaborate with a charity like Macmillian or Marie Curie and photograph people recently diagnosed with cancer with their families and loved ones. Would love to create something meaningful and lasting for people going through a difficult and life changing experience

Returnofthesmileybar · 16/12/2018 00:36

researchandbiscuitfan that's awfully sad and very lovely all at once, I hope you find happiness like that again one day Flowers

I'd like to write an enduring Christmas song. Think Slade, Pogues, Wizard. I have no particular musical ability and haven't played an instrument since I was a teen.

BetterEatCheese · 16/12/2018 00:42

To successfully run my allotment. I just can't do it and would absolutely love to

To lose 9 stones. To not have binge eating disorder. To not completely hate and feel disgusted with myself. To not have depression and anxiety. For people to not shout fat bitch, ugly slut etc at me. To not feel like a failure because I can't fall pregnant.

CaroloftheBalls · 16/12/2018 01:21

To own a house and to have children.

TokyoSushi · 16/12/2018 01:37

To cycle around India or Vietnam or somewhere like that. Also to walk in the Himalayas.

Seren85 · 16/12/2018 01:41

To own a custom motorcycle shop. I'll do the admin, DH does the mechanics etc.

To own a rock pub and earn living surrounded by friends, listening to music.

To have land and room for donkeys.

I know people who've tried the first two so I know how hard it is hence I'll never do it. Still want those donkeys though.

Jezzifishie · 16/12/2018 01:49

To be the sort of person with ambitions. I just muddle through life, and pretty much do what other people suggest. It wasn't even my idea to have a child Blush

Elllicam · 16/12/2018 02:11

To build my own home, at least 7 beds with land and a pool.

Needadvice101 · 16/12/2018 02:12

To become president of my birth country and I would make a lot of changes. Then I’d write a bestselling novel about being the first female president.

To go into Space.

@AnnabelleLecter
I am only lacking the nature reserve, however I still have far-fetched goals. I would like to own a lake-front campsite.

Thewerera66it · 16/12/2018 06:15

To own a few acres of woodland and keep everyone out of it
