Girl power to you xx

Yes, but if I had done differently I would not be where and who I am today. If I had 'fought' for husband No 1 instead of just letting him go when he found a dolly bird, I would not have ended up in an awful, horrible 2nd marriage. BUT, I had the courage after 10 years to walk away from that relationship. I did not know what awaited me and I had some hard times, but I have come through it. Oh, by the way, husband No 1 married the dolly bird, was divorced after 10 years, had a ten year relationship, broke up and is now on the 10th year of relationship No 3....Whooooo spooky, the 10 years are up.!!!!!!!!

Regrets ? I have a few... but then again... too few to mention... I can't believe nobody had said that (if someone had, and I missed it, then I apologise). Yes is the answer anyway, I have HUGE regrets. Massive. But can't do anything about the past so...

wish I could, too many commitments, OH not working and family to support!!! Maybe in my dotage I'll get there!! Carol

Go for it Carol, this is something my son want to do xx

Yeah---really,really wanted to be an archeologist, school careers officer wasn't any help and i got steered into nursing(my 2nd choice) and I still want to be an archeologist-30 yars later!!!!!!!!! Carol x

I have no regrets over my childhood cos it was great. The only regret I have is that I couldnt have children cos I had cancer when I was 28, so if I had my time over again I would get pregnant at 15 to my OH.

Julie How sad hun, xxx

Would maybe have done things differently if I had my time again, but can't say that I regret much of it. Have a good (if sometimes boring!) hubby, 2 great kids, what more do I need. Would maybe have done a different job, because I know that I could do better, but I do enjoy what I do, even though it's sometimes stressful and hard work! Sometimes wish that I had been more confident when I was young, I was a bit of a wimp, but have learned from it. No-one picks on me now.

My biggest Regret is not being with my friend ( age 29)on the night of 11th August 1992 then she might not of died or been killed as i think she was

Jane i wish i had gone in for nursing and not married so young but been happily married for nearly 45 yrs. and three kids.Also wish i could have met my Mother and two half sisters still you can,t have everything i know.. June xxxx

I wish I had more children--only had one and one miscarriage.Wish hubby was more adventurous--holidays- and he doesn`t like taking risks--is a worrier. Ros

The only thing I would wish for was to have had a happier childhood, having said that I have made up for it ten fold with my children :)) Heather xxxx

Have a few regrets but nothing major. Am very happy with the way my life has turned out. Linda

I do sort of regret getting together with my first husband when i was young. I don't regret our daughter one bit. We were together from 1987-1998 then when my daughter was 2 we split-I was on my own for a long time, just worked, and brought my child up, then I met a nice guy who adored me, he was very wealthy and lived in Ireland, he was older than me and a lovely guy, would give me anything,but money can't buy you love. And I didn't feel the same. So back on my own, I got a new job, met my now husband and we have been together ever since, we have a son and I love this man more with nothing than the rich guy who had everything. I am very happy and feel I have found my soulmate at last. So no regrets what so ever. catherine xx

Hi Janey :O)) I do have regrets - for opportunites that never came my way ........... mostly in Love :O( That said tho - I have faired well in what I have achieved. I have had some good career opportunites - one which enabled me to be able to my own home. And I have had some fabulous opportunities to travel. Nothing outstanding - but possibly more than some have been lucky enough to achieve .......... Life is what you make it - so I guess I regret that I didn't make enough of it when I was younger - but then again - would I be where I am now if I had - or would I be happier in different circumstances if I had done things differently ???

Absolutely I have regrets of things I didn't do.... but I wouldn't change my past as its made me the person I am today and I like that person!! xx

I,ve made mistakes ,but then who hasnt,its all the learning curve of life. Blimey that sounds profound!!. But no regrets on anything major. Been married 50 years in August and altho he become a bit of a Victor Meldew hes still my best friend. Would like to have had more than one child but that didnt happen. Would like to have been at home more for our daughter when she was young but finances meant i had to work. Would like not to have been so hard on her when she was young but thought i was doing the right thing at the time. So mistakes made but no regrets other wise Shirley

Hello Jane Yes I'm sorry to say,but at the time did what I thought was right. I was wrong! Mau xx

hhhhhmmmm a tough one.... mistakes yes plenty! all helped to make me the person i am today and wouldnt change that or my life for quids. but maybe regret being too trusting of many ppl but then again spose i could put that down to naivity and youth. im still growing so we will see..... my dream would be on my death bed with a smile on my face and not regret a thing!!! that would be a peacefull way to go huh!!! but untill then i will just try to be the loving happy positive person i try to be every day then hopefully i wont have much to regret. :-) peace and love to all who have err'd. gee i sound like a hippy!!! ;-) LOL!!!!
