.....for me it would be not having to get up to pee 3 times a night.

Night's sleep would be pretty wonderful. Unfortunately, itis DH who really "helps" for the bad nights; probably the least restful bed companion. He gets very sad when I "divorce" for a night or two to get good sleep - so it is for life smile

it would be to stop pain

That all my children got on better! But, what can I do - absolutely nothing!!

Cotswoldgran Sun 07-Feb-16 10:12:52

Oh to have the body I had in my 20's, with fully working knees!

More will power, well, any will power would be nice!

littlegran Sun 07-Feb-16 10:36:29

To get back the sight I had 10 years ago.

To be able to walk without pain.

Charleygirl Sun 07-Feb-16 10:52:42

To have the working pain free joints I had in my 30's with no metal inserted.

Not to go to the loo several times a night

JBF I would agree with you. My aches and pains are as nothing compared to the suffering of so many people in the world.

To be able to sleep!

A shower stool. hugs

BRedhead59 Sun 07-Feb-16 11:01:15

To remember small things I keep forgetting

Conni7 Sun 07-Feb-16 11:06:54

Business Class would do!

adrisco Sun 07-Feb-16 11:10:09

To retire at 60 .. would only have a year to go. Instead it's seven years!!!

Lupatria Sun 07-Feb-16 11:10:26

like others on here - no arthritic joints and no pain [goes together so it counts as one].

and a small second one - all my own teeth with no fillings!!

Bellasnana Sun 07-Feb-16 12:15:41

To have some willing helpers to assist in packing/clearing the house for my forthcoming move to a much smaller place. I'm feeling overwhelmed by it all.

There is of course a lot of misery in the world - but we should not let it stop us being light-hearted at times - being miserable does not help these poor souls and I am sure we all make our contributions to the various relevant charities and do our bit.

My house to sell for a really good price.

Stansgran Sun 07-Feb-16 12:33:40

To have a gas fire which I don't have to kneel on the floor to turn on( I can't kneel or if I do get up) and I like the glow on a dull day

inishowen Sun 07-Feb-16 12:49:26

To be able to eat without suffering heartburn, and also not getting up to pee at night!

Funnygran Sun 07-Feb-16 12:54:37

I'm with Loopylou and Marmark1 too. Tinnitus and deafness are a pain and it would be lovely if they just disappeared. Would be nice if the joints were a bit more mobile as well.

annifrance Sun 07-Feb-16 13:00:10

The perennial joints, ergo no pain. Having had a hip replacement last year I have got my life back, but still some pain. Really want to get back to the very energetic person I have always been.

narrowboatnan Sun 07-Feb-16 13:13:34

To have arms like Twizzle (remember him?) so that I can reach all the things that I've forgotten to gather near my chair once I've sat down for the evening in front of the telly. Then I wouldn't have to keep shifting the small dog off my lap and getting up and down several dozen times to get all those things.

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 07-Feb-16 13:30:14

Just one straightforward control panel to work the TV, DVD player, and You View. Invariably I get something sorted out, start watching, and then a part of me touches another of the panels and it all goes skewiff and I have to get up, put the light on, and start over again. hmm

Same as Alima........less fear of driving and able to go to a proper town in the car!
