I am yet another person who never got around to learning to ski. Even though there was a dry ski slope in the city I used to live in.
Never became famous/learned the dancing skills for Strictly either......
on the positive side, I have never
*been to prison
*had to go to hospital for alcohol poisoning
*crashed a racing car and left the ensuing mess to be sorted out by other people......

oh dear, how do you get emojis, it says type grin in brackets for a grin emoji but it hasn't worked!

You need to use square brackets [ ] don't use the curvy ones like this either { } grin

I have never:

Watched any form of reality TV
Travelled beyond Europe
Driven a motorbike
Told my story
Visited a make up counter and had a makeover
Bought a pair of trousers that actually fit.
Climbed Scafell

But I have -
Just had the top up of my semi-permanent tattooed eyebrows. They look fab! - after 30 years of pencilling them in every morning it is heaven. (Had one threadbare brow and the other had about 6 hairs left.) They’re very dark right now but will soon settle and look very natural.

i have never learnt to swim, despite spending thousands of pounds, i have never mastered my fear of heights - despite living in a high rise flat
those are the negative

I have never shot a gun nor do I want too
