@SpiceRat

Baby to stop screaming / having colic / reflux A spliff Sleep
If you haven't already considered cmpa then this may be the answer. It won't help with the spliff though!

@MintyGreenDream

To lose a stone in a fortnight
Ooo, I did that. But I was very overweight. I ate one meal a day at about 600 calories, low carb. I lost 17lbs in 3 weeks. However, if you're only 1 stone overweight, it might not be doable.

A job with a higher salary without the extra stress (or a large lottery win 🤷‍♂️)

To be able to live comfortably with no money worries, probably like many others the after effects of covid/brexit are beginning to hit hard, I feel like this is only the beginning and we're struggling already.

@ssd

Thanks
Ragwort · 21/09/2021 18:42

Reading many of these makes me so grateful for what I do have - I feel very blessed, a decent (most of the time Grin) DH, confident, happy grown up DS, a part time job despite shocking pay I love, a mortgage free home, friends, hobbies and a sense a purpose - I am very lucky.

The only thing that I would really love now is a large glass of chilled white wine ... but have restarted low carbing to get rid of my excess 3 stone. Blush.
