Ten ORDINARY things you ve never done V

There would have been such a long list before I retired. Now, though, it's just a list of things I don't want to do eg. Go to a boxing match.

Never used Twitter or FB
Never given birth (am step-mum/gran)

Danced the Slosh
Taken a selfie.
Travelled by motorbike, helicopter, or hot air balloon.
Been on a horse.
Eaten beetroot.

I have never:
Been to Blackpool
Eaten an oyster
Been married
Been skiing
Had a son
Watched anything like TOWIE, Made in Chelsea, Geordie Shore etc
Been to a football match
Had a tattoo
Bungee jumped
Been to the Channel Islands

I think I've done pretty much everything else that's been listed here!

It really is amazing how ordinary some of these things are. I am wondering how you get through life without ever having worn white knickers. My list otherwise has a few things that have been already mentioned and some of which I agree are totally unnecessary

I have never smoked. Anything.
I have never broken a bone.
I have never been in a hot air balloon
I have never worn jewellery, except a wedding ring for a very short time (I'm still married but can't bear the thought of metal on my skin)
I have never had a Jaegerbomb
I have never had a daughter (this is, obviously NOT in the "unnecessary" category)

I have worn white knickers but I've never worn any Ann Summers stuff.

These are my 10 things

1. Smoked a cigarette
2. Had a tattoo
3. Ridden a horse
4. Seen the film Dirty Dancing
5. Sewed myself any trousers
6. Changed a wheel on a car
7. Not owned a dog or cat
8. Not been to a night club
9. Never placed a bet on a horse
10.Never dyed my hair

GrammaH asked what we might be proud of, of the things we've never done. I'm proud of the fact that I spent a whole night in Las Vegas and didn't gamble - not even a nickel in a slot machine!

Cosafina, me too, Las Vegas was way over the top, much of it made me laugh, but never had any urge to try any of the machines or tables.

Reading through the other posts, makes me think my life has been quite exciting after all! However I have never:

1.Learned to swim despite 10 years of lessons
2.Learned to dance
3.Smoked
4.Tried so called 'recreational' drugs
5.Been in a betting shop
6.Been to Ireland other than brief stops in Belfast and Cork
7.Learned to crochet
8.Seen any film rated higher than 15
9.Eaten tripe, faggots, brawn, sweetbreads or hash browns
10.Watched Big Brother, or I'm a Celebrity

I'm68now - yes I can spell biological and the term ' birth father or mother ' is used as an alternative to biological. Anything else you would like to criticise ?
