A circle driveway.

Oh yes one night's undisturbed sleep and to be able to travel at all, even cattle class, although first class would be better.

A dog. My DH won't agree to getting another dog. We've always had at least one dog and lost our last on 2 years ago. sad

To be pain free.

Another grandchild. No! No! I didn't say that!

f77ms Sun 07-Feb-16 06:21:05

For ALL my adult children to settled with their own homes , something our generation took for granted . It is shocking to me that having a home , rented or owned, is no longer a right .

ffinnochio Sun 07-Feb-16 06:43:57

To have both my sons and their families living in the same flipping country as me. Don't care which one - just the same one!

Grannyknot Sun 07-Feb-16 08:05:04

nina I just couldn't resist! smile

I can think of lots of "big" things that would make my life better ... just no small things.

Greyduster Sun 07-Feb-16 08:20:04

The confidence to drive on motorways. This year I'll try and do it.

Loopylou,me too,I've had tinnitus and been deaf for years,but in the last ten days I've gone completely deaf in the right ear.

Cornergran and Aggie. Read The Effortless Sleep Guide. It's very helpful and full of common sense. You can get from Amazon and is available on Kindle.

This thread has been an education for me in difficulties that so many people have to quietly bear. flowers flowers flowers

Small thing for me would be enough time to be the hands on granny I would like to be - in a different life I would love to work part time and give my daughter a day each week while she is at work. In RL I just need to get a new job to pay my own bills!!!

ClaraB Sun 07-Feb-16 09:51:45

To be able to give up work completely, but I have just reduced to a two day week which has helped enormously.
