you're so right there Ann - I lost three babies but never ever think "what they would have been like" - they're gone and most of the time forgotten - I'm not a hard person, but I got a bit harder when those losses occurred

I was so lucky in that I married a lovely man whom I fell in love with at first sight and he with me - we went through a lot together and I do miss him, but you just have to get on with life - it ain't a rehearsal - this is it :-D :-D

No I don't have any regrets, I am pretty happy with how my life has been. anything that has happened or not happened is all part of the tapestry of my life. Nothing can be changed anyway. :-D

If you regretted not doing something, then now is the time to change and do something you wont regret! :-D :-D

Yes I have one well a few but I put them away and get on with my life... :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Regrets?

Well, I have had a few.

But then again, it is probably too few to mention.

I merely did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption.

At least I did it my way.

Hi Dizzy
My only regret is that we can't have children it's with me everyday and that our chances of adopting were dashed but as Joy said life is life

Oh Maggie, that's sad. I was always upset that my parents wouldn't buy their council house. We lived there from new in 1950 and it was in a good location, with lots of space and a huge garden. Even more, it held lots of memories. They just had a horror of 'owing' so much money.

Shirley, I was always disappointed that my son ended up an only child. Of course it's probable that had my daughter lived, she would have had a sibling as her father and I would not have split up but then my son as he is would not have been born, as I would not have gone abroad and met his father.

So many twists of fate that could have made our lives different but most of them out of our control.

Que sera, sera!

I wish I'd bought my (council) house when I was 45, but then, with only 15 years until retirement it didn't seem feasible, due to the repayments.

Now my retirement has been extended to 66, I realise I could have bought it as I'm expected to work another 6 years :-(

I'm now in the unenviable position of not owning my house, and looking forward to being forcibly removed from it when I retire, as I will be deemed to have 'too many bedrooms', despite the fact that I have my 3 grandchildren (1 girl aged 13, 2 boys aged 5 and 7) stay over every other weekend, so my daughter can do her job :-|

Regrets would be worth having if we could change the past. Let them go before they eat into your life and don't let them influence how you feel and act.

Having said that, AnnCardiff, empathy!!!!!!!!

Wing walking but I am just over the weight limit by a couple of pounds.

yes one regret but it isnt a nasty one

I regret we never did have a second child . one more was very much wanted by both of us but despite tests saying no problems we never were lucky again

Our daughter ,who is very much loved, always said she was lonely as a child and always wanted a sibling .

BUT if another baby had come along we would never have been in the position to move out of London and buy our house etc etc

My mum always said whats meant to be will be
:-)

Ann my greatest day was
when my Butler picked his mother up in my kitchen and threw her into the front Garden
telling her she would never set foot in our house again and she never did
her husband stood there with his mouth ajar
and my butler told him that went for him to
the evil pair of -----
15 YEARS LATER she rang and asked us to go to see her at the hospital
my butler wouldn't go but I did
and she asked if she could come and live with us
and I told her I would kill her by the end of the first day
so it wasn't the greatest idea she ever had
it was the first time in 38 years she had been nice to me

Regrets I've had a few
but I don't look back life's life
and these thing are sent to shape who we are Today :-D :-D :-D

my only regret is that I never told my in-laws what a nasty pair of people they were - mother in law a complete and utter cow and father in law a domineering bully :-D :-D
