I haven’t done …………

I don't iron unless it's neccessary, never have!

Haven't knowingly eaten gluten since 1996 (medically diagnosed coeliac). I say 'knowingly' but was given normal bread in a hotel in Sweden and was ill and mostly bedridden for the rest of our holiday.
Not cooked beef since BSE apart from cooking my lovely, now departed FIL for hus birthday each year.

I haven’t
Blown my nose for nearly five years - susceptible to bad nose bleeds
Smoked for seven years
Ironed more than one item for over 20 years (MrJ does it)
Worn nail varnish on my fingers for thirty years
Worn earrings for about twenty years
Driven an automatic car for thirty odd years

Driven a car for 32 years.

not worn a skirt or dress, stockings or tights in over 30 years. not to lower the tone Magenta8, 29 years

Haven’t said yes to an invitation unless it was something I really want to attend.

I haven't worn earrings for about twenty years.

I have had pieced earlobes since I was 16 and I go for years without wearing earrings. Is it a myth that the holes grow over and heal?

I ask this because on the very rare occasions I have worn earrings over the years they have gone in quite easily.

Haven’t driven a manual car for about 30 years

Haven’t eaten pasta for around 10

Haven’t ridden a bike since I was 9 (thrown over the handle bars, broken arm thought this isn't for me!)

Haven’t worn heels for about 16 years ( spinal condition makes it impossible would still like to)

Haven’t been on fair rides or a rollercoaster for at least 30-40 years ( went on the first one in Europe in the day)

Haven’t taken part in a drama production for 50 years

Haven’t been married for 11 years ( oh the peace after divorce )

I love ironing!

I haven't had a bath either, since the last one, I couldn't get out of the bath! My partner had to stand behind me and lift me up. Good job he was stronger then. Must be all the ironing he does for us. As my daughter put it "Not all heroes wear capes"

no food nor snacks after 4pm, been doing this for about 2 years and sleeping better since

No wood carving since lockdown, the group disbanded and that was that

no supermarket shopping in person, any supermarket

No holiday for 8 years, no need, don`t want a holiday. I love where I live, my beautiful county of somerset and my own home with my nearby allotment and access to my 3 different bicycles (and lycra). I was bored senseless on holiday

For a long time, no cakes nor biscuits

No pets for 16 years. Horses, dogs, cats. I like my freedom, not being tied down

No Zumba, oldies’ ballet, watercolour painting, skipping, patchwork, pétanque, violin playing, stepping, hula hooping, running on a treadmill, yoga, bouncing on a mini trampoline, jogging. Each one since two or three weeks after buying the associated gear. I’m notorious for my sudden passions that don’t last.

On the upside I’ve still got all the stuff should the mood ever take me again.

Grantanow

I haven't voted Tory since I was born.

Nor have I and I am proud of that.

I haven’t voted Labour in my life and I’m proud of that too.

It’s a great shame to politicise a thread like this!

I haven’t had my legs waxed for thirty years, I decided it wasn’t worth the pain.
I haven’t watched a TV advert for at least twenty years, I only see them at the cinema.
I haven’t drunk cider since 1978, after the mother of all hangovers.

Haven't spoken to the father of my children for 12 years. I still miss him.

Bixiboo

I haven’t voted Labour in my life and I’m proud of that too.

Bixiboo hasn't voted Labour.Annewilko and Grantanow are proud they haven't voted Tory so at least we have political balance even if not voting for something is nothing to be proud (or ashamed) of.

It would be nice to have a non-political chat thread where political views didn't creep in.

I haven’t drunk Gin since I almost keeled over after one glass when I was 18. I’m 78 now 🥵

I haven't shaved my legs or armpits for five years - I braved the pain and used a depilator and it's true that the more you use one the less pain you feel!

I haven't ironed anything apart from seams and hems as I go along on garmets I make for myself for at least 30 years, since my children were old enough to do their own ironing. My DH has also had to learn the art of ironing his own clothes. Abosolutely hate ironing!

I haven't said Yes to anything I really don't want to do for the past year or so. It's taken me many years to get to this stage, but I just figured that I'm old enough now to say NO!

Seapebble I'm still laughing 😀

Perhaps you're allergic to the juniper, my SisIL was.

I drank too much gin with a friend in my early 20s and was very ill indeed so didn't touch it for 30 years but was pleasantly surprised to find one glass was fine when someone persuaded me to try it again.

I can't drink vodka, one glass makes me ill.

I haven’t done any ironing since my husband retired. That would be 10 years!! 😁 I had all the work clothes dry cleaned including shirts and all the best one I gave to our son for work. Gratefully received too!
Since having cancer two years ago I don’t do anything I don’t want to! I’ve changed!

Good for you! Me too! 👍

I haven't been near a hairdresser for at least twenty years. What have I done with all the money I saved?
