HRT. I’m not allowed it.

  1. To have completed on our sale and purchase dealing with solicitors after nightshift is not fun!
  2. Someone to pack the house.
  3. A holiday not to be cancelled

I know we are incredibly lucky to be in our position but totally not feeling it today

I would love to be fitter. I am 77, overweight and with a weakened immune system. Dh is 85 with limited mobility for several reasons.

FlipFlops4Me · 21/09/2021 16:29

To have an evening when I don't have to cook. DH can't cook - disabled. No money for takeout.

LadyRoughDiamond · 21/09/2021 16:32

The only thing I want right now is for our builders to finish the delayed project that they’ve been working on since May and just go. I want my house back.

SirenSays · 21/09/2021 16:33

A new house with a massive garden for the dogs - one that comes with all my stuff already moved in and all the bull that moving comes with already done.

EmpressSuiko · 21/09/2021 16:33
  1. A nose job
  2. No more cancer!
  3. To own our own house

A day without pain (and not just because of painkillers)
A large chicken and lettuce baguette from Greggs with 2 cappuccinos and a chocolate chip cookie
A baby or cat to snuggle for a day or two

Mostly I'd love for my dickhead horsey neighbours to let their horses run away and never talk about them again

Okbye · 21/09/2021 16:38

A trip to Walt Disney World.
Booked an Easter 2020 trip back in June 2019. Obviously it all went to pot. Bidens finally letting us back in from November but I’ve got a feeling it won’t be for long - he’ll change his mind and close the borders again.

user1481050140 · 21/09/2021 16:38
  1. Our second child.
  2. A new house
I’d forego number 2 for number 1 though 🤞😬😅
Iamnotminterested · 21/09/2021 16:39
  1. Not to want to scratch my eyes out from allergies.
  2. For my children not to have any MH issues.
  3. My mojo back - anyone seen it?

A cure for my anxiety

TitoMojito · 21/09/2021 16:40

Big agree on the gluten, OP. Was feeling really down last week just desperate for a Krispy Kreme doughnut 😂

granny24 · 21/09/2021 16:40

A cigarette.

Blossomtoes · 21/09/2021 16:42

@granny24

A cigarette.
Oh Christ, yes. It’s nine years since I gave up and I still crave them.
StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 21/09/2021 16:45

I want the dickhead scout leader to fuck off and stop trying to force girls to join the scouts by stealth instead of girl guides. Just fuck off you fucking prick and learn the meaning of consent.

lightand · 21/09/2021 16:46

For there to be a gap between 1 set of visitors and the next, even if just a few hours.
I shall be worn out by the middle of next week!

@CreepingDeath

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.

Have you tried silicone earbuds?
SpiceRat · 21/09/2021 16:50

Baby to stop screaming / having colic / reflux
A spliff
Sleep
