5 year warranty

Last night I lay on No.1 son's bed with him and said "I want to write another post but I don't know what to do" He looked at the bed above him (he has the bottom of bunk beds) and reading the label on the mattress said "Restful bedding...... or 5 year warranty"
Hmmmm......
What would I like a five year warranty on?
What if someone could guarantee my houseplants to survive five years?
How about if people could maintain weight loss for five years?
Wouldn't it be good if pillows lasted five years? do your pillows go flat and awful in about two weeks?
Five years between pap tests? cool (sorry, fellas)
What about a hair colour that needed no maintenance for five years?
A lawn that only needs mowing every five years?
A petrol tank that only needs filling every five years......

Okay, now I'm just being silly but that's what I do best :)

What would you like a five year warranty on?

    A very interesting post, and gives us readers a lot to think about.
    A 5 year warranty.....
    well, recently, I'd like a 5 year warranty on my bloody internet connection!
    I'd also like a warranty on not being stopped by the Russian police - they're scary and can ask for your documents at any given time.
    I'd also like a 5 year warranty on happiness - do you think that's possible?

    Great post doll,
    Peej xx

  3. I would love a brand-new five-year warranty on my very very old Town Car; I could take it in every week when something else goes wrong with it...we've broken down more times than I can count...one of those times in the middle of an automatic car wash!

  4. Five Year Warranty?

    I'd like a 5 year warranty on all the commitments and "promises" made by politicians.

    Or could you have at 5 yrs a warranty or at 500 kms on a knee reconstruction.
    Cheers, John

  6. @ pj
    i thought a 5 yearwarranty on happiness would be great until i realised that i would spend the 5 years worrying about what would happen in year 6 !

    @ mark
    socks!!!
    yeah, if i could have a warranty on paired socks i would be in clover :)

    @ leah
    i havent broken down in a car wash but i reckon i have broken down every where else!
    it all adds to the interest in life, eh?

    @ dad

  10. Hummmmmmmmmm...I would like a 5 year warranty on my health. I would like a 5 year warranty on my animals lives. I wish our tree that toppled in the storm had had a extended 5 year warranty. I wish everyone born had a 5 year warranty to use when ever necessary. I wish 5 year warranties were unnecessary, simply because life would be much simplier. But life is terribly complicated. Perhaps for a reason.

    Thank you for this my dear. It made me think about what I want.

    XO

  11. Kylie,
    I saw you commented @ Mark's wanting to know when his birthday is. Next monday 19th may.
    My 5 year warranty would be of course is like everyone else that we have no worries and stay healthy. My personal one is that i wish my hearing aid batteries would last that long instead of just about 2 weeks when sudennly you get little warning and bingo i'm left in silence while i go to get fresh battery,can be very annoying when in a supermarket.
    Bye for now,
    Jo.
