I would say
A time where I went to the shop with my mask in my pocket but forgot to put it on.

@Fiddlersgreen

My regret is very trivial compared to others on here, not seeing family members before they died etc. But mine is that I didn’t make the most of being being furloughed from March to June. I have friends who did online courses, exercised and lost weight etc. I stayed up late every night, got up late, ate loads of crap, put on a stone (having put on 2 stone in the last 3 years already!)

Also regret not making the most of having my teenagers home all day and spending quality time with them whilst the older one had no work (was meant to have GCSEs) and 14yr old had not much work at all in first lockdown.

Ooh. Sorry. These might seem like small things, but wasting the time that we never get back always hurts :(

Not making the most of the summer, mostly due to work priorities but I wish I had gotten out more with the kids.

Not promised our kids their first holiday abroad and paid out for the holiday of a lifetime. It's in August and I have a feeling it wont happen and the kids will be distraught. We booked it in december 2019 so didnt know this would all happen, but now I feel gutted everytime they ask me if we'll be allowed to go

I’ve another, not getting my hair cut or roots done, I’ve had one hair cut from my mums mobile hairdresser since March, I was hoping for the mad rush to settle down and was planning on going in November for a good cut and sort my roots/colour out, what was growing into a nice balayage during summer is now past that stage and it’s clear it’s not intentional
