Mine are quite trivial , but one mistake was never carrying on learning to swim and not getting behind the wheel again after a minor accident with my driving, I do regret that and a few others too ;-) ;-) But no regrets at being married to my oh for 58 years

love Jean xx

Very trivial - but at the moment - buying that bl**dy light for the bathroom all those years ago.
It's a ceiling light, which is a pain, as I need a stepladder to change the bulb.
Bulbs are normal size bayonet candles, but since 'ordinary' bulbs are difficult to obtain, I find lots don't fit :-(
I've tried 4 different makes of bulb - none fit properly.
ANY new bulb now lasts no time - I last changed the bulb about 2 months ago - when I managed to drop a candle down the loo.
New bulb blew last night.

Maggiewinchester, is that the "environmently friendly" sort? I hate them because I'm allergic to them and we needed to buy lamp shades which shielded them from me and move the lights which we couldn't shield :-|

Zzzz - any type - I think the electrics to my lights may need updating - they're still black & red :-(
As for your sister in law - you makes your bed and lies on it!!
Kuros and Barbs - one can only say, thank goodness things are slowly changing! xx
