I haven't, so far, persuaded DH that it is time to move to a nice modern easily managed house or bungalow with a more manageable garden. I am working on it and as son as he realises it is HIS idea, and the right property comes on the market in our village, I will be packing.

Never learnt to paint.
Never flew over Grand canyon.
Never owned a Victorian vicarage in it's own grounds with stunning views.
Never won more than £1500 on the lotto. (I know, I'm greedy)
Never learnt to play guitar.

Have had 40 yrs of very happy marriage and two healthy children.

Can't swim or drive and can't do lots of stuff but still here at 65 smile

No disappointments in my life, I am happy and have everything I need. Perhaps a smaller portion of the lazy genes might have been nice grin

I once told my BiL that I wanted to be filthy stinking rich. He told me that at least I'd managed 2 out of 3!! Charming

I cannot sing a note in tune.
I am a very poor swimmer.
Never won anything.
But most important of all I have never been seriously ill.

Never learned to ride. (A horse,of course).
Never visited family in new Zealand.
Third baby never came, but I still managed with two. It is strange, but I must only have been destined to have two children.
DH never became a millionaire. And we've never won the lottery!
Still, we're happy and healthy, so what's to complain about.

A little bit of me still expects that those are possible -OK I don't do the lottery, but that makes no difference,,grin

Didn't win the lottery either, never owned the penthouse flat over looking the sea at Brighton, or the white range rover with a black top (wouldn't want either now). Would still like a ride on the Orient Express, though!

Or own a Victorian house with high ceilings.
Or be older and wiser
Or learn to be creative (as in painting, sewing homemaking ect]
Or learn another language
Or ride a bike
.......... At this stage of life do you have minor dissapointment? (I know I should count my blessings but I love a good old grumpy moan. It's one of the things I'm really good at) wink
