Sleep 😴

Just finished 4 night shifts, have slept for two hours but now need to go and have my hair cut. I am murderous through lack of sleep.

  1. Another baby.
  2. Leave London.
  3. Cleaner.

Can’t have 3 until we’ve achieved 2; can’t start 1 until we’ve ticked off a load of things that will help us achieve 2 (e.g. “finish the house” type DIY that relies on me not being a vomiting mess). Etc. All on the cards in the next year though, I hope!

Oh, also some salt and vinegar crisps. I only have to wait til my lunch break to go to the shop for those.

Time!

To relax, to be with my DD and DH more, to walk the dog for longer, to start swimming again.

Sadly working FT in a reasonably senior position and supporting DH with the admin for his business means that for the foreseeable future i've just got to slog on.

Fatty food! My gallbladder needs taking out, waiting list is for ever, so it's going to be a long time before I can eat pizza again. My diet was healthy before this, but I really miss the occasional bit of junk food.

A cure for MS.

A new car
His ex to fuck right off
A holiday

dancinfeet · 21/09/2021 11:50

A car. Or a house that isn’t 45 mins walk from work and not on a bus route. A business that isn’t hanging on by a shoestring since Covid and that actually pays me a living wage, or any wage for that matter.

MsAwesomeDragon · 21/09/2021 11:50

Not to have covid. It's shit. Hopefully I'll be feeling better in a few days but right now I feel like crap.

Oh, and ice cream. I could go downstairs and get some but it feels like such a long way!

Whatup · 21/09/2021 11:51

A cappuccino makes me too anxious to have any caffeine!!:(

Birdkin · 21/09/2021 11:53

Not to worry about paying my bills
A dishwasher
A new shower
To replace my shit storage heaters with radiators

Basically I just need money 😅

CreepingDeath · 21/09/2021 11:53

A home of my own, even a small one. I've been renting for years and don't have much savings, and probably wouldn't ever get a mortgage by myself so it doesn't look likely to happen. But it would be lovely.

Also a magic pill to sleep better. I seem to wake up with every little noise and find it hard to get back to sleep.

QuentinBunbury · 21/09/2021 11:54
  1. To live with my long term DP Sad
