I think the only real regret I've ever had (that I'm prepared to post about on here anyway) was something that happened in college, or rather didn't happen. Depends on your perspective.

There's a certain line from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (I have kids remember) that seems applicable. "Had your chance, muffed it!"

Something dont add up here Hovis, Nan died 12 years ago when you were 18 that makes you 30, Passed bike test at 31 ???

That's his other regret, failing maths at elementary school!

I can relate to both.

Only done my bike test last year and I'm 38.

all those wasted years.

Also about 10 years ago a house went for sale round the corner from my mums house for 38k (don't forget I'm NI so much cheaper). I thought it was out of my league then so didn't bother.

It sold a few weeks back for 270k

NI has the most vibrant housing market at the minute which is why mine is going on the market in a couple of weeks.

Owning a house is overated in my opinion.
Not all wealth is measured in pounds and pence.

I've fecked up most major decisions ever made so to many regrets to list here.

Although my biggest one was probably blowing out Mary Tapsell and only realising later that I was on a promise
