My main regret is I wish I'd had more gumption as a teenager. I did my A levels and hadn't a clue what I wanted to do. So I went of to Uni and followed two friends into a career I stuck with for the next 30+ years. I really didn't enjoy my work much although I was good at it and was able to move up the ladder. I was so glad to retire eventually, but what a waste of life, hating every working day. sad

But I do regret just eating too many chocolate biscuits after my dinner!!!!!!!!!! blush

I'm very positive, don't do regrets but that one gets me

No you can't ...but come on be honest ...

No point in regrets , you can’t change the past.

Not a lot!

Not a lot. Perhaps choosing the right sixth number when we got five in that Lotto draw....

Can't think of anything - life's too short for regrets!

I should have added that I don't really have any other regrets. I count myself as fairly well blessed in life with much to be thankful for

Marrying at 20 years old instead of going for a career, I would still have married my husband of 50 years but waited till I was older and knew what path I wanted to take , I still love him very much but feel I missed out as 3 children came along soon and then I was a stay at home Mum,

Not being with either of my parents when they died.

The rest of my life has been hard work - but pretty good and I wouldn’t change a thing.

Not inheriting strong teeth!

The biggest mistake of my life was marrying my first husband who I stayed with for 10 years. I'm still paying for that mistake 45 years later.

Nothing really.

Being in too much of a rush to grow up....
Not savouring every moment of my children's childhood....
Not seeing Elvis live in concert......?❤️?❤️
Not being able to sing in tune ......
