For fortitude and endurance. Serious SAD has taken hold viciously and added to the current ME episode. This may well be it for the winter now and pain is getting serious.

For a sense of humour as I try thus to walk down the corridor and am like a drunk duck.

That my beloved cats who a few weeks ago were their blessedly normal placid selves would all come home and,,,, My oldest . Too precious to lose.

To remember to be deeply thankful for the roof over my old head, that my simple life is provided more than I need by the pension,

A bigger house. Preferably out in the country but not too far.
Currently stuck in a 2 bed with 3 kids.
To lose 2 1/2 stone overnight because fucking sick of feeling hungry. People who say they're not hungry on a diet are fucling liars!

I would also very much like to get off these antidepressants but that would be an absolute disaster

Thatsplentyjack · 21/09/2021 13:04

Oh and a phone that will let me swear!

Guacamole001 · 21/09/2021 13:05

A willing decorator. Nobody gets back to me.

A baby.

Just had my ninth loss in 16 months.

StevieNix · 21/09/2021 13:07

1- another baby (been trying for 12 months and no luck yet)
2- to be a homeowner (even just a tiny house)
3- just enough money that I don’t have to worry every month

EileenGC · 21/09/2021 13:15

My dream job - or the guarantee that it’ll be mine once the position opens in 12-15 years.

To again live in the same country as my best friend and be able to hug her as often as I want. Failing that, for the bloody Day 2 PCR to be dropped now, not in a month, so I can start affording weekend breaks to see her regularly again.

For my facial hair to disappear right now.

SpeckledlyHen · 21/09/2021 13:16

Either for my current house sale to fall through or to find the forever home I can move into.. Sold my house, just about to exchange but can't find another house (despite lots of offers over asking price etc).

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 21/09/2021 13:16

To be well again - I have long Covid.
To lose all the weight I need to lose.
And a self cleaning house, please - when you find out how to acquire one, please tell me, @BobbiPinsOn!!

Crunchymum · 21/09/2021 13:18

My mum

(she died 21st September last year)

cricketmum84 · 21/09/2021 13:19
  1. To get my legs working again so I can walk and drive!
  2. A cleaner
  3. For DWP TO TAKE LESS THAN 3 months to sort out a pip claim that will pay for a carer once a day and someone to help me with cleaning.

Not like I'm asking for the moon on a plate or anything! 😂

PattyPan · 21/09/2021 13:19
  1. A baby

  1. For my DD to sleep through the night

  3. Some extra money would always be nice!
jamsandwich1 · 21/09/2021 13:20

Good health.

GreekOlive · 21/09/2021 13:29

A hug from my partner who lives 5 hours away and cannot move to be with me. Sad Actually, just some human contact. Living alone sometimes is hard.

Hugs to you both, @Crunchymum and @Berkeys. Sad
