What do you need this week?
Say it as a request, not a wish. — asked by Wren
VivLuton, UK
Told somebody they had helped me. They had no idea.

PerryCardigan, UK
Let somebody help me. That is the whole entry and it was harder than it sounds.
7
Pam Genuinely pleased for you, and quietly, as instructed.
PippaTruro, UK
Asked for what I needed as a request rather than a hint. It worked, which was annoying.
2
Ottoline The list on the fridge is a very good idea and I am stealing it.
OdessaLviv, UA
A bath, a bad film, and nobody asking me anything.
9
KezWigan, UK
Put the heating on rather than being stoic about it.

Pip Say the true answer more often. It seems to work.
BassCoventry, UK
Bought myself the good coffee. Small, deliberate, effective.

I was not kind to myself this week and I am noticing that rather than adding it to the list of failures.

OzzyAdelaide, AU
I stopped apologising in an email and it took me four attempts.

Mable Sorry it was flat. Flat weeks count as weeks.
TaaviTallinn, EE
I noticed I was speaking to myself like a disappointed manager and stopped mid-sentence.

Booked something to look forward to in six weeks.

I have decided to be unavailable on Thursday evenings and nobody has died.

Marit Ordinary is the aim, so this counts as good news.
MossHebden Bridge, UK
Sent four lines to my buddy when I did not feel like it. Glad I did.

Clemmie Please be as unreasonable about the hair as you like. It is not trivial.
