Learned to ride a bike
Smoked (waste of money)

Been to New York! I've always wanted to go to the place my paternal granny was born, Brooklyn. She told me endless stories about growing up there in the 1900s and twice I was booked to go and twice something happened to stop me. Feel I shall never go now.

Too many "i have nevers" to list but I do want to encourage you GagaJo to go on a Flying Without Fear course (mine was with Virgin from Leeds Bradford). It made the world of difference to me. Although I'll never love flying it helped me to be able to go on holidays again after many years of not being able to and also holding my long suffering husband back.
