This is a direct lift from Mumsnet. I'm not putting it on a Games thread, as I know that there are a lot of us who don't look at games, but I found it funny and cheering, and I think we all need something like that just now!

You have to make a wish, and the next poster grants your wish, but in a way which ruins it. S/he then posts another wish. For example:

I wish I could speak another language fluently.

Poof! Your wish is granted. You can speak another language fluently, but it's Klingon.

I wish I could go on a mountaineering holiday.

Poof! Your holiday is booked. In East Anglia.

I wish I had long, blonde hair.

Poof! Your hair is long and blonde. And growing on your feet.

I wish my garden was tidier.

Poof! A new pair of wellies.

I wish I could eat anything I wanted.

Poof! Your garden has won the prize for the greatest number of dandelions per square inch!

I wish my shoes were still waterproof.

Poof ! Your now so strong that everything you touch breaks.

I wish I had a prize winning garden

Poof! The weather stays dry and so is the lunch as there is no alcohol!!

I wish that my "Strength and Balance Class" that I am starting tomorrow is successful and I feel stronger.....

Poof! You are Lady Jane Grey, Queen for nine days, then executed. Sleep well.

I wish it stays dry for todays Christmas lunch.

Jane10 Mon 02-Dec-19 08:19:19

Poof! - you are now a stick insect!

I wish I was Lady Jane...

ninathenana Mon 02-Dec-19 06:56:57

I wish I was slim

Poof! You haven't fallen out, you clung to the window ledge and was pulled back by a waiter but sadly, your friend fell out into the bushes.

I wish I had the most expensive bottle of champagne..

DanniRae Sun 01-Dec-19 18:25:34

Poof! You can ride horse BUT it's a rocking horse!!

I wish I hadn't fallen out with my best friend.....

Chewbacca Sun 01-Dec-19 18:09:24

Poof! Your feet are a very average width. Which is a shame because they've discontinued average width shoes now and you can only buy EEEEEE fitting. :-(

I wish I could ride a horse.

Elegran Sun 01-Dec-19 18:04:43

You have one ! Or rather, you thought it was secret but there are some spectacular photos on social media and some details that I don't think you would appreciate being made public.

I wish my feet were average width, not EEEEEE.

DanniRae Sun 01-Dec-19 17:53:24

Poof! You have hedgehog in your garden but it's covered in fleas and your dog catches them!

I wish I had a secret lover wink

Wheniwasyourage Sun 01-Dec-19 13:30:29

Poof! You can run a marathon, but it takes you 16 days and the crowds have all gone home by the time you finish.

I wish I had a hedgehog in my garden

henetha Sun 01-Dec-19 12:45:48

Poof.... you could sleep all through the night if you hadn't
married the winner of the World Championship Snoring
Contest.

I wish I could run a marathon

Chewbacca Sun 01-Dec-19 12:13:49

Poof! You live in a stunningly beautiful cottage. It's situated in the middle lanes of the M25.

I wish I could sleep properly, like all through the night.

DanniRae Sun 01-Dec-19 08:59:37

Poof! you are taller than everyone and can't get clothes to fit!!

I wish I could live in a beautiful cottage......

SalsaQueen Sun 01-Dec-19 08:55:25

Poof! You can run and jump - you're a horse in the Grand National.

I wish I was taller

lemongrove Sun 01-Dec-19 08:23:31

Poof! You can sleep soundly all night long.... a pity you work nights stacking shelves in Tesco

I wish I could still run and jump

Grammaretto Sun 01-Dec-19 07:40:49

Poof! You have a degree in English Lit but you are stranded on a desert island with no books.

I wish I could sleep through the night.

Chewbacca Sat 30-Nov-19 23:07:52

Poof! You can speak Australian like a native. Pity really because you live in Africa.

I wish I had a degree in English literature.

lemongrove Sat 30-Nov-19 22:48:55

Poof! You are extremely tidy, but now you can’t find anything

I wish I could speak Australian ?

DanniRae Sat 30-Nov-19 22:17:28

Poof you are but no one wants anything you have knitted!!

I wish I could be better at keeping the house tidy.....

Chewbacca Sat 30-Nov-19 21:43:01

Poof! You're tall. But your clothes no longer fit and your naked!

I wish I was good at knitting

Tangerine Sat 30-Nov-19 21:37:48

We need another wish for this game to continue.

I wish I was tall
