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! 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..

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

Poof ! you did but I just used it to flush the loo

I wish I was slim

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

Poof! - you are now a stick insect!

I wish I was Lady Jane...

Elegran Mon 02-Dec-19 08:48:37

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

I wish it stays dry for todays Christmas lunch.

DanniRae Mon 02-Dec-19 12:31:57

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.....

ninathenana Mon 02-Dec-19 13:46:16

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

I wish I had a prize winning garden

Wheniwasyourage Mon 02-Dec-19 13:50:25

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

I wish my shoes were still waterproof.

LadyGracie Mon 02-Dec-19 15:16:30

Poof! A new pair of wellies.

I wish I could eat anything I wanted.

Jane10 Mon 02-Dec-19 16:26:51

Poof! You can. You are now a Tyrannosaurus Rex!

I wish my Grandparents house hadn't been demolished sad

Jane10 grin

I wish my Grandparents house hadn't been demol

Poof! It hasn't but the nation has been deprived of priceless treasures (think Sutton Hoo) which were under the foundations.

I wish I was psychic

DanniRae Wed 04-Dec-19 18:33:04

Poof! you are but it's not always good news (Sorry x)

I wish I could get a big win on the Premium Bonds.....

Wheniwasyourage Mon 16-Dec-19 18:45:58

Poof! You have won a large piece of paper telling you that your £25 prize has been reinvested in more Premium Bonds.

I wish my left shoe hadn't sprung a leak.

BradfordLass72 Tue 17-Dec-19 06:14:46

Poof! Your wish has been granted, your left shoe is now intact....the right, however, is full of holes.....

I wish someone would come and do all my washing up!

Beechnut Tue 17-Dec-19 06:26:26

Poof! I have done your washing up but have broken your best mug!

I wish someone would cook my lunch.

DanniRae Tue 17-Dec-19 12:16:23

Poof! I will cook your lunch but I am a terrible cook and you won't want to eat it!

I wish it would stop raining.

Wheniwasyourage Tue 17-Dec-19 14:53:36

Poof! It has stopped raining. But you are now in Australia where it hasn't rained for years and you have to escape wildfires.

I wish I could ski.

Jane10 Tue 17-Dec-19 15:10:46

You can and you are now at the top of a huge ski jump... And you're off!

I wish I hadn't eaten those dodgy tinned grapefruit slices yesterday.

TwinLolly Tue 17-Dec-19 18:57:13

Poof! Your wish is granted. You feel great. You had a nice apple pie.

I wish I could do a bungy jump (is that asking a bit much) but hubby says 'no bloody way!'. confused

DanniRae Wed 18-Dec-19 14:25:23

Poof! You do a bungy jump but bounce up and down so many times it makes you feel sick

I wish I could run away with my secret lover...

creativeness Wed 18-Dec-19 15:01:47

You have met your lover but he's got a dreadful cold so plans cancelled. I wish I could have a trip in a glider plane soaring about over the earth for a while might be fun

Wheniwasyourage Wed 18-Dec-19 15:29:44

Poof! You have been up in a glider and had a lovely time but it is coming down now. Over the sea...

I wish I had swept the floor today (couldn't be bothered).

BradfordLass72 Wed 18-Dec-19 23:48:40

I wish I had swept the floor today

Poof! The floor is beautifully clean because I swept it and found your late Aunt's diamond ring - finders keepers.

I wish people on GN would stop going on about bl***y Brexit.

Jane10 Thu 19-Dec-19 06:11:03

grin Good one! That's wishful thinking.

Beechnut Thu 19-Dec-19 07:42:27

Poof! Brexit talk is banned.

I wish I stop eating sweets.

gmarie Thu 19-Dec-19 08:04:01

Poof! Your abscessed tooth keeps you from eating anything at all.

I wish all my holiday decorations were up.
