Translated as -
I wish I was a fairy
I wish I had a pink house
I wish the teachers could have dresses
I wish all the poor people who don't have money and the people that have money give to the poor
I wish there were no stinging nettles !!
(from previous thread...)
I sent this to my sister and she said her five wishes would be -
I wish my children wouldn't grow up so quickly
I wish it would stay fine every day so I could peg my washing out
I wish wine was one of your 'five a day'
I wish my bunny rabbit didn't like wallpaper
I wish I could stop being a wisher
So... what would your five wishes be???'It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.'

Thank you for the new thread aau1

Thanks for my birthday wishes. Started off a bit slow as had to work, but soon improved by a visit from my son and his fianc!e with my grandson and my 11 day old granddaughter
Followed in quick succession by a visit from my daughter and her boyfriend 
I am going to give up with my OH I think. He got me a very nice Swarovski golden retriever, but he could not find the wrapping paper so put some tape round the bag. I have shown him on several occasions where the wrapping paper is, and he often goes in there same cupboard for something else :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -
