what are the biggest regrets in your life? recently i have been thinking alot about things and doing things that i want to do cos we never know what is round the corner...like moving out, i know it happened fast but as i say, maybe if i hadnt one day i would have regretted not moving in with Al...does anyone have any big regrets? xx

Not paying attention at school.

my biggest regret is not seeing my friend before she died.the guilt will be with me until the day i diexxxx):

Don't have any! 'It's better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't!'

That I didn't see my Nana before she died. She had a stroke on the day I went in for an operation and then she contracted meningitis and they wouldn't let me visit her. Once given the all clear I delayed the visit by one day so that my eldest daughter could have her 11th birthday party and during the party I received a call to say my Nana had died. Wish I'd delayed the party instead. Daisy

Oh Yes loads of regrets. Messing about at school. Not taking up opurtunities when they were offered. Not finishing my book I'm writing. My biggest regret is getting divorced. I've got lots more, but I can't change it now. Jo.

mine was not listening to my parents when they said i was to young to marry kimx

Things past regret are now with me past care - Richard II (Shakespeare) No point in brooding on the past. Non, je ne regrette rien. Besides which, you can only regret things in hindsight. Suppose you had done the things you regret not doing, or didn't do those things you regret you have done - who can say how things would have turned out? nell

lol NO WAY! i am finding it difficult..very hard not seeing ma everyday, i miss her and ruby madly, but its great at home i love being with him so much, especially waking up next to him, the best feeling!! this thread very moving, thankfully (touch wood) i havent lost anyone, my mum used to go mad at me and my bro when we used to fight..she would say imagine if this was the last time you saw eachother, how much would you regret not saying sorry and telling eachother how much you love eachother....we would always make sure we kissed and made up before one of us went out etc! xx

Not telling my mum 'I love you'. Written it on all birthday, christmas and mother's day cards, but not actually said the words. Just never happened. She died suddenly just before Christmas.

a few regrets, i live life full of guilt im afraid, my biggest i suppose is not coming home sooner when mum was ill, couldnt have done anything as i was told then , but i also thought as she was such a strong person all my life , that she would get better, couldnt accept the truth, i now realise i was in shock from finding out till the end, such a short time

My mum says 'You can only do what you think is right at the time' We can all look back and wish we had done something a different way and it may not be a positive thing to ponder too much, best to try to learn from a mistake? and carry on And if you believe that -----well I do try but I am not good at listening to advice-perhaps if I had -well who knows Janet
