I didn't win the lottery and other disappointments

I didn't divorce my husband much earlier I wasted a lot of years
I can't speak another language or swim or ride a bike
I haven't been to Italy or South Africa ( will still try and do those)
I can't dance well ( always envied people who can, I can't dance at all actually)

However I do have 2 wonderfully supportive daughters and 2 fabulous grand-daughters and now live on my own in a lovely little house where I can do anything I want and we all go on holiday together regularly so I have EVERYTHING I want really now just want as many years as possible to enjoy it.

Never lived in London.
Didn't study English Literature after O Level.

Didn't work hard enough at school
Am an uninspired cook
Don't garden
Verge on being lazy
Haven't finished designing my Time Machine to have another crack at doing things better a second time.

Have a kind, thoughtful and hoarding husband.
Smashing son with my sense of humour
Two terrors for grandsons, that I love to bits
I'm a good friend

Haven't done a bungee or parachute jump
Haven't been on a cruise
Haven't been to a sushi bar
Haven't been to a pop festival
Haven't been on a motorbike
Etc etc

Mind you don't wish to do any of the above
Each to their own

Don't garden (except essentials and very unsuccessfully)
Don't play piano (had lessons but wanted to play outside-was asked to leave!)
Can't drive any vehicle
Haven't done a long distance walk

I was brought up by a father who always said, "Why not, go for it" so I'm still thinking. Must be something!

Never ridden a camel. Properly. In the desert.

Still time though.

1. I've never been skydiving, want to realize my dream next summer
2. I've never been in China, still planning
3. I've never drive a sport car, searching for someone who can help me
4. I've never won a big prize at Saturday Lotto results
5. I've never swim with dolphins, my childhood dream
6. I've never seen Star Wars

Update to my message of February 8th. DH now on board for the downsizing and is actively preparing this house ready to put it on the market in the next couple of years. It will take a couple of years to get it ready.

Never ridden a horse
Never shot a gun (a good thing)
Never swum more than a width
Never got a hole in one
Never done several naughty things that I can't say but seem quite commonplace now
Never had a tattoo (a good thing)
Never been on a cruise (but I might)
Cant play a musical instrument
Cant sew
Cant do art/craft

Can cook, clean, organise, write, play social golf, and keep husband happy for 38 years (mostly).

Oh Teetime now I'm intrigued and can't stop wondering about all the naughty things you want to do

I don't have disappointments so much as regrets;
That I never made more of my educational ability;
That I never learned to sail or
Speak a foreign language (though I get by in a couple) or
Never took up fly fishing years ago;
Never had the self-confidence to fulfil my career potential - turned down too many job opportunities for the wrong reasons;
Never made myself drive on motorways - too scared to do it now!
Never made it all the way up Ben Nevis, or Snowdon, under my own steam.
Never got the chance to tell my father how much I loved him - he was always there, and then he wasn't.

But I am rich many ways. I am reasonably fit, have a lovely hubby and great kids and an awesome, gorgeous grandson.

Never learned to swim
Never learned to drive
Never been on a cruise, but rectifying that next year
Never seen the fjords in Norway, but that`s where the cruise is going
Never been very good at housework, too late to worry about it now!

Never travelled the world.
Never done a parachute jump.
Never learned to play the piano.
Never joined a choir.
Never had enough money (though said I would only marry a rich man as a teenager!)
Never even met a rich man!!
Too many more 'nevers' to go on
But
Brought up 3 DC on my own and have 5 DGC who claim to love me. Could be a lot worse.
