    I have decided life is too short to...

    Make my own pasta
    Work for someone I despise
    Iron bedding, undies or teatowels
    Worry about the opinions of people I don't know, particularly when I am dancing
    Eat bad food
    Drink bad wine
    Miss out on time with my family and friends
    Worry about the size of my backside

    A few years ago my Dad passed away, and my mum and I had an epiphany about life being too short. I came up with a huge list like this..... she was a bit more succinct.

    'If I want it, can afford it and it's not illegal or immoral, then f**k it, I'm having it.' she said.

    Can't really argue...... :rotfl:


    I like your post, made me laugh!:rotfl: must pass on what your mum said to my mum:D
    Do what you love :happyhear
  • Lifes too short to stay in an unhappy marriage, even if you do end up broke afterwards.

    Life is also too short to worry about what other people are saying about you.

    I second that one.

    I third that one - I've left two unhappy marriages and ended up broke after each one but at least I kept the house last time :D

    All these are excellent, some really made me laugh :D

    Life is to short to worry about dust behind the washing machine.
    Enjoy doing whatever your doing.

    As for ironing, I like doing it as well, I usually watch TV or listern to the radio and somtimes I have a glass of wine as well ;)
  • Life's too short to wash snotty handkerchiefs. Why can't my husband use paper ones like the rest of us.
  • Darn socks.

    Although I do sew the holes up!

    I don't have a problem with ironing...had to do a lot of it in the Corps at school and I think the habit just stuck....I do it while listening to the radio or watching trash tellie about houses I can't afford, etc...

    LTST: brush & comb each of my cats daily - sad to say :(
