It has to be something that most people have done though!

Snapped my fingers. Something about the angle my thumbs and joints are made, I just can’t. When I tell someone that irl, they always helpfully “show” me how, but it isn’t possible. So I try not to tell people.

Got a degree, no education beyond 16 in fact

Been to a spa
Been on a city break outside of the UK

I have done lots of things other people haven't though. I had DS when I was quite young so missed out on a lot, especially travel related things. He's nearly grown up now so I'll get my chance.

Why do people keep mentioning tattoos? Surely most women don't have tattoos, nobody in my circle (including the men) have tattoos

I'm amazed by this. I use a microwave on a daily basis. Reheat leftovers, defrost bread quickly, heat up soup or some other lunch at work... I can't imagine never using one in my whole life

I didn’t own a microwave until two years ago and I’m 53. Never wanted one but DH had had enough so he bought himself one during the pandemic and, yep, I use it all the time.
