20 Things I Have Never Done

I thought I’d share something fun this week – have you ever thought about all the things you’ve never done before that most other people have (or so it seems)?

Well, I thought I’d share some of the things I always think that other people have done that make me go, Hmm I’ve never done that, I wonder why OR I’m glad I never have OR How funny that I haven’t. From things I’ve never eaten to films I’ve never watched, they’re all here.

I reckon there will be many, many more things I’ve not done that perhaps you haven’t either (that I haven’t thought of), so do share them in the comments: We can see if neither of us have not done the same things. How’s that for Bad Grammar of the Day?!

I’ve scheduled this post well in advance as today I’ll be at the Chelsea Flower Show for a special day out with the Over40Collective – do check out my Instagram feed (and Stories) as it’s bound to be FULL of gorgeous flowers and fashion in London’s predicted heatwave!!

Here are my Never Have I Evers, for your amusement/enjoyment…

 

1. I’ve never seen a Harry Potter movie, Mama Mia! or Downton Abbey

…out of choice

…not out of choice

…I didn’t even have one at my own wedding

…Not sure I’ve even stepped inside one

 

5. I’ve never permed my hair

…despite being the perfect age for it in the 80s

 

6. I’ve never dyed my hair anything other than “standard” colours

…like brown, red or blonde – no pink, green or blue

 

7. I’ve never had a tattoo or wanted one

…despite living in England all my life

14. I’ve never eaten oysters

…Just, no

 

15. I’ve never been asked out on a date

…with the exception of once when I was working in retail and he was about 20 years older than me, I said no – I don’t really count it

 

16. I’ve never drunk more than a few sips of wine

…Can’t get past that taste

…Can’t get past that smell

 

18. I’ve never received a proposal of marriage

…and I’ve been married twice

 

19. I’ve never gone a day in my life without crying at something

…even if it’s just watery eyes at a sad advert on TV

 

20. I’ve never cooked a proper roast dinner

…Except for a chicken, but that doesn’t count. Yes, I am ashamed.
