I really would love to visit my Mum in UK and know that I can return to NZ without trying for months to get into quarantine facilities.

On a lighter note I would like to be permanently slim without effort.

  1. A big, comforting hug from my Magyar Bárat - he's currently in Denmark.
  2. A cure for lifelong anxiety.
  3. Someone to pay me for the work that I do so that I don't need to be so worried about money.
  4. The right to live and work freely in the EU again. Sad

  2. DDog to get better quickly & stay well, as multiple toilet trips each night due to steroid treatment is hard.

  1. To own my own home, sadly an impossible dream.
  1. To meet a decent, loyal man who likes me just as I am, not only as a fuck buddy. Sadly also seems to be an impossible dream.

A holiday

DustyMaiden · 21/09/2021 12:24

Motivation.
I have everything I wanted including early retirement. Now I’m sitting here thinking what shall I do today?

Wallythewanderingwalrus · 21/09/2021 12:25

A long luxurious holiday with DH.

I'm reading these thinking how lucky I am though, I am mostly healthy, have a job I mostly enjoy, and a clean and tidy house but we always want more.

Needapoodle · 21/09/2021 12:26

A dog. But dh and i realised the other day that we are grown ups and we can get a dog if we want one, so we have applied to adopt a foreign rescue puppy. All being well he will be here in October.

Amz6219 · 21/09/2021 12:28

I'd just like COVID and everything surrounding the pandemic to end :(

So fed up of it all as I am sure everyone is, want to go back to normality!

Untrained · 21/09/2021 12:28

The body I used to have. Unfortunately I can't stop shoving food in my face, which kind of negates that plan.
