RegretsWell I'm sure I'm not the only one!
what have you done/said that you have regretted , if you could go back would you change what you did/said ?
I regret getting married at a young age 19yrs wish I listened to parents ! I regret not going to college and going to town instead . falling out with my parents and not seeing them for 9mths . meeting someone who was abusive ,doing drugs , heavy drinking (not for many years now ) driving when I shouldn't , losing my own house, not going to an ex b/f funeral , giving up my cottage in Romsey had acre of land .
my BIGGEST regret at the mo is not punching the moaner (not worth losing my job over)

losing my own house,
You did try very hard to keep the house ,but through no fault of your own you could,nt.
My regret is not going to work in Canda when i was 18yrs as a nanny i had the opportunity and was sooooooooooooooo stupid to turn it down.
The other is buying a house when the prices were so low ,if we had we would actually own the damn place now and have some spare cash

My biggest regret is letting myself get bullied at school, i wish i'd have stuck up for myself as im so strong now but my mum says i did the right thing as it was a group of 20 against me but i still feel i was a coward, because of it all i left school early with no qualifications as i was too broken to go back and the school wouldn't expell 20 pupils for 1 person so i had no option, although i've built my life back up now, i'm out of the depression and starting college in 6 months to get them and get a career i want!
even though i can mend it, i still regret it and always will

Sounds like you have done well for yourself Littlemiss...there is also a saying that goes... "success is the greatest revenge"
I'm the exact opposite...I wasn't bullied in highschool - I was one of those ppl who thoroughly enjoyed my high school years and made many friends. My problem is that as an adult I have allowed myself to be bullied in relationships and bullied in the workplace when I would never have stood for that as an adolescent! My first marriage really broke down my confidence and it has taken me over ten years to get it back up and I'm still working on it!
I have this article I read on control freaks and bullies which really helped me a lot. I'll have to see if I can find it somewhere and then I'll post a copy of it up as it might help some of you too.
Edit: I have located it and I'm going to post it under the Sharing and Caring -Together we can make things better with the other bullying post

Someone once asked me...if you could go back in time would you have done things differently... "well of course I would have" I said...because of WHAT I KNOW NOW...but I didn't know any different then...so I don't think I would have done anything different then than what I did!
20/20 is the best hindsight.
Most of what we do/experience/learn in our lives is thru trial and error. I believe that we are all in control of creating our own lives and that we re-write history to who we are today.

Well done Littlemiss on thinking positive and turning things round for yourself. You'll succeed, I know it  I too wish I'd have stood up to my bullies, but like yours there were always a gang of them.
Like you've all said its hard thinking about what you'd have done different, thats just how life unfolds. I think I tend to think more like Judy 
One silly thing is, I wish I had of tried to introduce more variety into my kids diets when they were smaller and persevered with the things they didn't seem to like, then they wouldn't be such fussy eaters! Not that they are half as bad now, as when smaller, but they could be a whole lot better lol
