'Undo'

I love the undo button on the computer. It’s so easy to hit it and not only eradicate whatever mistakes have just been made but also to restore everything to exactly as it was before. It’s a shame that there isn’t a life undo button.

You have a one night stand…undo!
You get drunk…undo!
You lose your handbag…undo!
You scrape aother car…undo!
You get all your hair cut and hate it…undo!
The dog eats the sausages you put out for dinner…undo!
Your mother in law invites herself for Christmas…undo, and think of a far better excuse this time.

After a major row with your boyfriend you hit ‘undo’ and return to when he first arrives. This time you don’t mention that the way he drones on about football bores you to death.

Your teenager stays out way beyond their deadline after begging you to let them go to their friend’s party. Hit ‘undo.’ This time you won’t give in and let them go.

You fail your driving test. Hit ‘undo’ over and over again until you pass.

You go shopping while feeling depressed and overspend massively. Hit ‘undo’ but only if you don’t want to keep anything that you have bought home!

You blow your diet and eat a huge chunk of chocolate cake. Hitting ‘undo’ takes you back to before you ate it…but you are so hungry and it looks so yummy that you eat it all over again!
