Ten Common Things I've Never Done

Today I thought I'd write a bit of a different sort of post, one that is a little bit more personal about me. I consider myself to be pretty much my own individual, in that I've never really liked to follow a crowd. I'm very open-minded and love being inspired by others but I have my own mind and I like to do my own thing. I'm the type of person that likes to discover and do things in my own time, rather than when I'm expected to or when other people may be. My Mum always installed in me the value of being myself and doing what makes me happy rather than following a crowd. This post sort of relates to that, in that I'm sharing ten things that I've never done, that could well seem a little unusual to other people..

1. I've never been to a club - I'm just not sure that it'd be my type of thing. I'd much rather a quiet night in, in front of the TV with my Husband and a cup of tea - that's so much more my style! 

2. I've never been in a relationship with anyone else apart from Adam - I met Adam when I'd just turned 14 years old, he's always made me feel so incredibly happy and so we've been together ever since. 

3. I've never really been one to travel and have never been on a cruise - I was around 17 years old when I first went abroad. I went to Rome with Adam and his family and the night before we went I cried through fear of flying, though it turned out that I actually quite enjoyed the flight. I've never been on any sort of cruise before either. Though, now that we're a family, I'm really starting to like the idea of travelling and holidays, as there are so many magical memories to be made from family holidays. And I do quite fancy myself a mediterranean cruise one day!

4.  I've never seen a lot of the 'classic' films - My Husband often tells me that he thinks it's shocking that I've never seen many of the, what he calls, classic sort of films such as - Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Home Alone, Star Wars, Terminator, etc etc. I'm only just watching the Jurassic Park films for the first time now - I recently watched the first two and was surprised to find that I actually really enjoyed them!

5. I've never understood eating meat - I accept this is something that different people have different opinions on. But personally, I've just never understood the want to eat animals. I was raised as a meat-eater, as all my family eat meat, but once I was old enough to know what it was, I stopped eating it.

6. I've never broken a bone or had an operation - I actually don't like writing this as I'm a little superstitious and now I worry that I've just somehow jinxed myself! But to date, I have had no broken bones or operations! 

7. I've never been ice skating or skiing - There's no particularly reason as to why I've not done either of these things, I just haven't. I guess if I think about it, I'm not particularly that fussed about doing either as they're both very much associated with the cold and boy, do I hate being cold! 

8. I've never been stung by a bee or a wasp - As with point number 6. I feel uneasy writing that statement as now I worry that it's likely to happen! 

9. I've never learnt to swim properly - I did take some swimming lessons as a child and I remember my poor Mum trying to teach me to swim, but a lack of confidence meant that I never really learnt to swim. I've sort of picked it up a bit as I've got older and can now swim a little, but I really can't swim very far at all. 

10. I've never had short hair - I've just always liked having long hair and I rarely wear it up (despite the fact that it often gets pulled by Ethan and now Logan!). My Mum used to try and get me to have it cut short as she always said it would suit my face more, but I never agreed with her and so have always kept it long. 

So that's it - ten common things that I've never personally done. What are some of the more common sorts of things that you, yourself, have never done?
