Fantasy life....
 
So, if you could live your life over again, take different choices, what would be the things you'd change?

Don't think I would change anything major I've enjoyed my life on the whole, bit extra cash would be nice but then life may have been boring if everything came too easy.

Probably would have worked and moved abroad when younger, to travel around and see different things as suppose not doing that when we had the chance is only 'wish we'd done' regret in life so far.

Hmm would've maybe gone backpacking with Dale before we bought our house...

Erm...apart from that nothing really! Had a few idiot boyfriends when I was younger, maybe I wouldn't waste my time with those. Things I did as a young teenager I'd probably change but nothing in my adult life. Nothing since I've been with Dale apart from the backpacking thing.

I love it when people say "I wouldn't change a thing!"

I can think of two things I would change.

1) I wouldn't drive into that telegraph pole back in 1989:eek:

2) I would not have taken that contract job in Germany in 2000. Six months of hell.

But as they say, if I could change these things, then I wouldn't be who I am now, and where I am now.

So I wouldn't change a thing! Well, maybe move the telegraph pole 6 feet to the right.:p

Oh I would I would! I would change that I wouldn't eat quite so much chocolate when I was pregnant with the monkey boy!

And then, in a parallel universe, you'd be answering a thread just like this saying 'I wish I'd got to know iPom before I'd married her and stopped myself from making such a huge mistake.

1. I would never have smoked (gave up 8 yrs ago :) )
2. I would have done my nurse training sooner
3. I would get onto the property ladder sooner
4. I would never have gone out with a certain boyfriend who was a complete tw*t

First and foremost i would have travelled in my twenties......Things would have been so much easier now.

I would have trained to be a primary school teacher

I would have took my daughter to see her grandad before he died.

I'd not have bunked off school so much.
I wouldn't have got married at 23.
I'd have done a different degree.
I wouldn't have panicked and lost the love of my life....

But other than that, pretty good I'd say. :lol:

Right serious one.!!!!!!!
Wouldn't have started smoking (now over 25 yrs)
Wouldn't have started drinking (Alkie, but sober 10 yrs)
Would have done a law degree instead of politics
Told ma wee ma how much I loved her before she died. (big regret)
Came to Aus 20 year prior to coming.
All in all, its these experiences which make us and I think I've lived about 6 lives so can't complain:D
