As you sit and read this, just think, if you really could go back in time in your life, what if anything would you do different or change or have you been that perfect that you wouldn't change a thing and are really happy with your lot ??

Something I often think about is that, Wish i'd just bought a van when i passed my test and fucked off! Spent a lot of my life stuck here believing my life was going in a certain direction, now I realise it isn't gonna happen & I feel like i've wasted a lot of years that could have been put to better use.... Trying not to feel bitter tho, cos that would just be even more time wasted....

I was discussing this last night with family. I have had some truly dreadful times - as has everyone. However, I am who I am because of everything, good and bad, which has happened in my life, and I am happy with who I am.
The worst of times turns into the best of times, so no; I would change nothing. After all, I endured and am still here. 😁

Who doesn't have no regrets? Like Frank said, too few to mention! One thing though, I do agree with bigbear. We would be pretty rich if we hadn't paid out in rent. Though buying a house worked out except for the very end. I regret keeping people working with us as long as we did. Hindsight is a wonderful thing...

I regret wasting time,energy and heartache on some people. Im not the sort of person to give up but looking back on some people flogging a dead horse springs to mind. Im mostly happy and grateful for what i have in life.

I wouldnt have wasted 25 years working for this country,id have gone surfing and worked only as much as i needed to carry on surfing. I wouldnt have wasted(so much) time on arseholes who didnt deserve it or on putting the needs of my self centred family before my own needs but hey ho whats dine is done,i wouldnt change me and i can come back and do it all differently another time.

I wish I'd spent less time working and more time reading stories to my kids. When I was a new parent I thought the most important thing was to be able to provide everything for them and I worked really hard, but now I know they would have been happier just to make plasticine models with Dad and get a bedtime story every night.
Nobody told me this when I was young, but my kids know for sure, and my grandkids get bedtime stories.

I've quite enjoyed some of my mistakes!
Of course I have regrets but I don't believe in letting them get to me. The past is gone and we can't change it now
look forward not back, I still have my health (amazingly), a little money and people I hold very dear to my heart

I guess my bad decisions, and yes there's been a few, have shaped me to who I am now. Would I go back and change anything if given the chance? Probably not.

The final decision, yes. The threat, no. Pyke said he was threatening closure when he joined six years ago!
