I wish...
Hello
Well thank you Mister Simon for your invite to the wishing chair. I am visiting it earlier than suggested as I am not around on Tuesday teatimes/evenings, have a regular work commitment.
Does anyone remember that Enid Blyton had a series of "wishing chair" books, in the same vein as "faraway tree"?
Bubblegum, would you like to discuss the personality traits of your ideal partner? heh heh
Zane interesting you mentioned that you want a partner without children, that's a thought isn't it? more kids to add to the mix?
I am sitting in the wishing chair for a different kind of wish....I wish all you lovely people lots of strength and courage and that you will find happiness and peace.............. :D

Someone who...
Doesn't take life too seriously.
Thinks the glass is half full.
Isn't afraid to try new things, like foods for example and just things in general really.
Smiles first thing in the morning, and last thing at night for that matter, just in general, like when you catch their eye across the room or something.. a smile, even if it's dripping with sarcasm : )
Has a spring in their step when they see me.
My ex had deppression & drink problem for years & does not ever take responsibility for HIS actions, it is always someone elses fault.
That sounds familiar... especially the "always someone elses fault" bit.
:)
Yes zane, step kids ARE hard work. Has anyone got any experience of this as well as zane? if yes, we could start a stepkids section elsewhere....
My wish list - and why I'll be alone. I'm so demanding!
I want to be first - so fed up of being so far down a list that I may as well not be on it
Someone who understands my children will always come first
Someone who will have a chat and a laugh
Someone patient enough to deal with wonky legs and panic attacks, who won't be disgusted by my size
Someone who will do something when they say they will
Someone who can hold my hand and encourage me to walk distances again. I used to love walking
Someone who will actually pay for day out rather than assuming that I'll 'cover' their costs too
I could go on, and on... All very selfish..
And peace. Just to sometimes sit and watch the sun go down, or have a paddle, hand in hand in the summer seas.

I keep wanting to buy my ex a mirror... All he used to say he could say to the mirror. Then, at least most of it, he'd be right
Sparkling I think your list sounds fine and not too demanding at all!
I can never retrieve anything from draft. I could cry when I click on save instead of submit...
if there are long posts, I always do them in word first and copy/paste.
By the way I have put up a stepkids section in Parenting Support
Oh well, sadsy, you will be ready to get into the wishing chair one day ;) It's probably quite fortunate that you are out of idea with regards to the Nobel Prize for Clues. You have enough to worry about just now. Are you at work today?
Ah well, you know what I am going to say....no-one can choose for you :D
You could use the chair to wish for things other than a new partner. A good night's sleep maybe? or a peaceful half hour? or a sunny bike ride?
PHEW, for a moment there I thought you had chosen Yoda :lol:
Well done for at least 'sitting' in it.

I've posted this elsewhere, but have been going through Scout stuff, so shall say it again.
Just how my life is at the moment...
My wish it to see my children achieve their dreams.
So, I need to:
Care for them and keep them safe
Encourage them to work hard at school
Keep them healthy
Keep them happy (Killers - Mr Brightside, works every time)
Ensure I can earn enough to get them through school and college - ie qualify to be a driving instructor
To have a good holiday when they've left home!! Travelling around Britain - especially the north east and Scotland...
Very boring for a wishing chair...
Sadsy " an engineer has been called and normal service will be resumed sooner than you would like" :lol:

Have you seen the "five outcomes" that the Government have established for their "Every Child Matters" policy? They are for children to:
1. be healthy
2. be safe
3. enjoy and achieve
4. make a positive contribution
5. achieve economic well-being
Have a look at this. They must have overheard you in the wishing chair! http://eduwight.iow.gov.uk/teacher/train_and_develop/images/FiveOutcomes.pdf
Clearly, I'm destined for politics!! :lol:
I wrote it out in Scouts one evening when we were doing "hopes" and what we want to achieve. (I've posted this before, sorry). I read that out and the Scouts - including my lot - clapped!!
I'll look at that link after Louise, thanks. I've actually managed to agree to get the children to go for a picnic, and feel bad as the business I do bits and pieces of work for just phoned to see if I can 'pop' in at 2pm - and I've said no, unless they wait until later. She wasn't happy. However, the sun is shining for what seems to be the first time this week. RAF Valley, here we come...
Sy - "loving arms to hold you"
The thought makes me cry. It would be lovely. But no, not for me. It just wouldn't work.
xx
sparkling enjoy the sun! I am not sure you would made a good politician though, you're too honest and decent :shock:
Hi Sparkling,
I'm downloading "Killers - Mr Brightside" tonight.
I've got 2 weeks pay, so I'm loaded! Not.
hug, get glasses caught in hair
sy
No redundancy?? :o
I hate it when hair gets caught in glasses - I have glasses.
Maybe I'll try posting a photo, give everyone ten minutes to look at it before deleting it!!
Making a list.....well, sadsy I think that that's quite a tall order for you just at the moment. It is not surprising to me that you say you have a "blank" there; when you are battling to recover from what has happened over the last couple of months, some of your feelings will go into "shutdown" as a self-defence mechanism. So do not worry! As you start to recover, you will start to "thaw out" a bit. Also I would just like to say that just because someone accuses us of somehting, ikt does not always mean it is true, and if you remember, when Louise left she wnated so much to think of you as a baddie so that she felt less guilty about what she had done. Sadly, those who know us best also know how to wound us most
Hi Bec
That's a fab list :D And it is not an impossible one to fulfil.
One this topic, guys, can I recommend a book called "Are you the one for me?" by Barbara de Angelis. I know I have mentioned this book before but I am a big fan. It really is a book to get you ready for a new relationship. Bec, I would recommend you get hold of a copy, much of what you have written has echoes in this book.
I'm not going first this time.
We need a brave and fearless leader to tread first.
I've had an idea :idea:
