What is something you’ve never done?

I’ll start.

I’ve never been to a wedding that wasn’t my own. My parents hate weddings so we never went to them when we were children, and now I’m a single parent the ones I get invited to I have to swerve as they’re either child free or have never met my DC to invite them (work colleagues for example) because I have no childcare – said parents won’t help me with childcare and ExH is very unreliable with contact.

Anyone else?

I mentioned I've never seen Elf once.
The looks I got. Seems a terrible film and the trailer was enough for me to know it is rubbish

I have no desire to watch it the trailers make me want to knock him out to shut him up!

More I haven't done:

Had a one night stand

Been to Disney

Smoked a cigarette - my dad smoked when I was a child and the smell and the cough he had put me right off. I still can't stand the smell of it

Never drunk a cup of tea. (The smell is revolting). My parents never drink tea and only drank coffee so I supposed I was predisposed to not liking it!

I've never had short hair other than when it first grew as an infant! I've always had very long hair.

I've never sung out aloud in a church or any other occasion that required singing as I am
tone deaf and I just mime the words.

GreatBigBoots · 28/06/2023 23:12

Never had a holiday romance. Didn't have any interest in one when I was young and single but seems like everyone else I know did and thinks I missed out on some sort of rite of passage. I am 50 now and absolutely no interest in a fling or dating if I lost DH so pretty sure I never will.

Also never been a bridesmaid and definitely too old for that now! (Have done readings etc at friends' weddings which is an absolute honour but my inner 6 year old is sulking at never getting the dress etc without the stress of it being my own wedding)

Phoebo · 28/06/2023 23:17

Threesome

caringcarer · 28/06/2023 23:22

AsanteSana · 28/06/2023 22:07

Eaten a McDonalds, KFC, Nandos or any similar fast food (although I hesitate to actually refer to conveyor belt crap as food).
Been to a nightclub.
Lived in a city, town, or even a village.
Placed a bet, done the lottery or gambled.

If you've never lived in a city, town or village where on earth do you live? I can only think on the ocean?
