May be I'm mad, sad or just old but here are things that I'll never, ever do:

I'm committed to never:
a) enter an Ikea,
b) purchase from Amazon, or
c) drink low or zero alcohol drinks.

Have I missed anything? Do you have a list too?

2021 - 8 sites/32 nights plus 1 two night & 2 four night festivals.
2022 - 7 sites/32 nights plus 1 two night festival, 1 three night festival & two four night festivals (43 nights total). ....so far!

I'm interested in why you think that you'll never go to a music festival. Is there a particular reason?
I'm with you on the cruise though.

Agree about the ballet although a few years ago I was strangely drawn to a BBC airing of Swan Lake. I put it down to being caged up during lockdown.

I have a phrase I use when I'm away camping or on holiday and that is "No soft drinks until Sunday" Sadly, old age may be catching up with me though as I can often be found with a brew at breakfast, these days.

Ah! OK. There are smaller ones than Knebworth though. I think the "all dayer" I'm attending next weekend is limited to 200 people. 2 nights in the van for a fiver a night and "free" music.

I don't like crowds so wouldn't go to a music festival or probably any sporting event when I can watch it on TV.
I used to go to,Formula 1 in Europe when young and single living in Germany, not now too expensive and crowded.

I’m quite partial to all three of them although last year, it took us 5 visits to Ikea over the course of a month to get all the parts for a new walk in wardrobe we were fitting out. First they didn’t have all the sizes in the frame we needed, then, they only had the narrow shelves when we wanted the wide shelves and it took weeks for us to get the drawers as every time they came into stock, they sold out within a few hours as they only ever got about 50 of them at a time and everyone like us, who had bought the frames, was waiting for the insides! It almost put me off going again, but not quite!

I also have to admit to being an Amazon junkie simply for the convenience. When I am at work, I don’t have time to shop around and therefore Amazon is my ‘go to’ shop. We live in an area where Amazon does same day delivery which is also great for me when I am in a hurry.

I don’t drink alcohol at all so have no problem with number 3!

The only thing I can think of that I would never do is get a tattoo.
