Oh gawd, so many things. I would have worked harder at school, gone to uni, not married at an early age, invested in property, not started smoking and stopped my mum smoking, had more confidence in myself and taken chances.

Hi Sandra If I could turn back time same as one of the other members I would'nt have started smoking but then in those days (Many Years ago lol) it was Socially acceptable now we feel like Lepers. Also I wish I had learnt to sew. My sewing teacher hated me with a vengance, took me three years to make a blouse. Oh well at least I can knit and crochet. Taught myself that didn't need a grumpy old teacher. Other than those things I think I'm reasonably happy with my lot. More money would help lol Regards Jackie

I dont feel so silly now knowing that their are many out there who feel about the way i do about swimming, i wish i had learned when young. Mind you my parents are learning and they are in their 60,s so theres hope for me yet or not!!! Cherry

hello, Sandra. I would have not changed my mind about joining the police force. (That is, I should have joined!) :-) Joy

go in the police force.been a dream of mine since i was a girlxxxxx):

id have probably done all the same stupid things its all down to fate isnt it, pre written for you, but i wish theyd written it slightly different and given me a brain , lmao oh and confidence, and while we are at it assertiveness

Easy! Would have gone to Live Aid instead of Bruce Springsteen - both concerts at Wembley and could only afford one - what a terrible mistake to have made! Cherry - my mum learnt in her 50's in the baby pool with other adults - GO FOR IT!!! Maz. XX

Sandra, don't know how old you are but you still could learn to swim. i didn't learn until I was 50. ann Glos

I would spare my children the depression I suffered when they were young! I would have left my first husband when I first realised I didn't love him and spared both of us years of torture! Julie xxx

I don''t know that I would do anything differently, i have had a very good life so far, good marriage, lovely kids, super grandchildren. i suppose i could say i'd work harder at school, only got 2 O levels, but then I got 3 more O levels and 2 A levels and a GCSE as an adult so i got them anyway. didn't want to go to uni, got the job I wanted. Nope, happy with my life, couldn't do any better. Maybe I wish I had started on the F Tree when my Grandmother was alive, that would ahve helped a bit with the brick walls I now have but that is all.

hiya everyone thanks again. some remarks are funny.jackie in aussie i to was no good at sewing. it took me a term to sew a cookery apron.and the white cotton stiches ended up black. must have been with all that handling lol.when we go on holiday i go in kids pool to cool down. we went to spain once and me and hubby were lieing on the beach, when i looked he had gone.i looked out to see and saw his white shaven head . i thought my word he is being adventerous (he cant swim either) i waved but got no response, next thing i knew he was walking towards me .i said were have you been he said to the loo. isaid i thought that was you out there. he said you need to get your eyes tested its a buoy lol x

i would have no,when my evil ex boyfriend asked me out

I would marry my ex husband again and treat him in the way he treated me. I wonder how he would like being my punch bag instead of me his. Shirley Ann.

not get married some of us men are punch bags and targets for houshold goods too you know shirley

Would pluck up the courage to ask my very austere paternal grandmother about my grandfather who was lost overboard in 1911 from a merchant navy vessel. Would want all the info on him & his family ,who i have now discovered were german . cant go back any further on that side as no idea where or when they came from in Germany. Gran used to pay us 'STATE VISITS' about every three years and apart from aknowledging our greeting she wouldnt speak to us kids as 'children were to be seen & not heard'. Apart from that i wouldnt do anything different as I was lucky & met my soulmate at 18 & married him at 20,& we still best mates 48 years later. Would have liked tho for some of the Cr.p our daughter has suffered over the years not to have been so traumatic. Shirley

Hi Sandra Hows things ? I don't think I would like to turn the clock back - at least, not very far. The first two thirds do not merit a replay. len
