I haven’t done any ironing for over 30 years! šŸ˜‚

I find ironing very satisfying . I like doing it .

I haven’t been to London for 15 years. I used to go regularly.

I haven’t washed any dishes since we got our dishwasher three years ago.

I haven't bought a dress for over 10 years. I make almost all of my clothes and keep a spreadsheet of all my makes. I've just counted up and since 2015 I've sewn 61 dresses for myself! I still have most of them as I'm still the same size - no wonder the wardrobes are full to bursting. I'm not even going to count all the tops and trousers I've also made. I do love to be creative.

I probably haven't worn a dress for over ten years so certainly haven't bought one!

Haven't coloured my hair for 25+ years

Nor smoked since 1972.

I might have ironed a couple of things over the last year (thanks to DH, he is so good at ironing).

Sorting out the four big storage boxes of packets of photographs which go back to my teenage years. It feels like a mountain too far.

Oh, those Sobranie cocktail cigarettes look so cute (if you gloss over the tar and nicotine element, of course)! The Black Russians were for special occasions, Crossstitchfan, but I did have a rather sexy (in my mind at least) line in blowing smoke rings.

I haven't bought anything made by NestlƩ since 1979.

I have not had a cigarette since 1990.

I haven't had one since 1964. I thought it must be lovely as so many adults did it. I pinched one of my dad's and went to the bottom of the garden and it was horrible. My one and only cigarette.

Not had an alcoholic drink in 46 yrs, not coloured my hair for 10yrs.

Maggie maybe,
Are those the ones with the gold tips? Very sexy!
Actually, in films from the 50s and 60s, there are often women smoking and in those days it was made to look very sexy! Think of Audrey Hepburn! Not that she needed any props, she was ridiculously sexy anyway! I am a straight woman but even I fancied her!

My mum smoked sabrani cocktail cigarettes when she went out in the evening. They were soooo pretty.

All this reminds of a Two Ronnies sketch which went something like this:-

Little Ronnie: When did you last have sex?

Big Ronnie: About 1940.

LR: Gosh! That's a long time ago

BR: Not really, it's only (Looks at watch) 19.55 now.

(sorry to lower the tone)

Since divorcing and retiring I have not:

Driven a manual car.
Styled my hair after washing, I just leave it to dry naturally.
Bought or worn a skirt or dress.
Done ironing.
Painted my nails (I love gardening).
Worn high heels.
Been to the Theatre or cinema.
Been on holiday.
Fitted into a size 12!
Attended a party or gathering that I didn't want to.

This sounds like I have 'let myself go', but I am always clean although dressed casually, and I do apply a little make up daily. I just love living alone with my cats, and pleasing myself. Home is my happy place. I had no problem with the Covid lockdown!

Ridden my bicycle

Haven’t smoked since 1966, a surgeon made me go to theatre to watch a bronchoscopy on a gentleman who was a heavy smoker. It was like looking at colonoscopy thick brown gunge! Haven’t had a cigarette since!!

1980 for me. And there are still times when I could really fancy one. Though I’d probably have to get over an almighty coughing fit first. grin Do they still sell Sobranie Black Russian I wonder?

Well done! I know how hard that is, having given up in 1984! The annoying thing is , in times of stress, I could still do with one!
So I suppose that’s my answer to this question!
