I have spent alot of time worrying about 'doing the right thing' and waiting for approval from others. I too have been really good at saving the 'good things' clothes food etc for another time and let them go to waste. I had a moment when I hit 33 realising that I was living days that my mum never got a chance to and try to seize the moment and opportunity much more than I ever did. The change in approach is still a work in progress but we have had lots of great fun that I probably wouldn't have before.
