Thinking back over my life, and a few regrets

It is never too late to learn even in your 80s.

I am lucky, I don't think I have any regrets, is that possible?

well you  are very lucky in the fact you  have no regrets, or sad.

I had a great childhood, a great working life and a great home life. You are absolutely right I an very lucky but I do appreciate it.

I also had a great childhood, though it was hard, a short working life great marriage, and three wonderful children,

Though i have this three regrets some thing that would have been for me, done something for myself, instead of being a wife and mother.

That is understandable but sad. The generation that followed us had plenty of opportunities to do both.My Mum always wanted to work but my Dad was old fashioned and wouldn't let her She then left home for a fortnight and said she wouldn't come back unless she could go to work!

I remember all the whispered conversations so she eventually won, came back home and ended up working at the Palace. A bit extreme thing to do but I understood her completely even though I had to agree with my Dad and my sisters had to agree with my Mum.

We were old enough to see that it was never going to lead to anything bad, we had heard it all for years!

Anyway, I bet your kids were pleased to have a Mum on tap! Bit deep, sorry to have nicked your thunder Ellie.

Ironically Ellie, one of my regrets is getting a tattoo when I was younger.  Xx 

And me Chelle, I spent years in a boardroom meeting covering my arm up. I remember being uncovered at a Christmas party. " arrrrh,  is that a tattoo.

I know it doesn't matter now but it certainly did tthen. 

I’m not against tattoo’s I have a couple, but the one I had done in my 20’s, he just wasn’t a very good tattooist. Luckily it’s on my shoulder, so easily covered, and I don’t have to look at it
