I'll start.

Don't buy venetian blinds. They're such a pain to clean.


Yup. You were right mum ( as I cough up a dust cloud and they still look grubby...)

That there would come a time when I would not only tolerate but actually, actively like vegetables.

Practically everything. Apart from marmelade. She was wrong about that.

I would regret giving up classical guitar lessons at age 13. I was quite good but it wasn't 'cool' at the time so I quit. Over twenty years later I regret it so much. I don't remember a single thing I learned, even how to read music!

Using a face cream with sunscreen and applying it down to top of your chest.
I’ve been doing it grudgingly out of habit for 20 years now, but by god you can see the difference between me and my (younger!) sister who hasn’t...😃

That she gets left out of things and there's a reason why too but we won't go into that
She s been mostly wrong about everything. Including her getting back together with my dad and marrying this guy who is clearly not into her but she won't accept that oh no i don't have issues with my mum nope not me

That I didn't need to change or worry - I'd meet someone who loves me because of who I am and I'd be happy. I just had to be patient.

Unfortunately she died when I was a teenager so she never got to meet him but she was right - my DH loves me fat, with mad hair, my filthy language and crooked teeth - just as I am.

Never trust a man with 2 phones.

She was/is wrong about everything else though.

I miss mine so much I can’t catch my breath sometimes.

She was right about most things; and mostly she was right that I was worth something, I am valuable and that I’m worth loving.

People aren't against you there for themselves.

People who lay down with dogs get fleas. (About my teenage friends)

It's easier to go down with the shit, than bring yourself up. (Again about my teenage friends)

Your parents are the ones who will always have your back no matter what. And she does!

Many many things but to name a few:

Getting better is a secret and only happens when you are asleep.

Make your own money.

If your knickers are too tight it'll make you bad tempered.

I'll think of more.

I miss my mum.
