Just a couple of things that we are unlikely to say as “ last words “

1 / I wish I’d spent more time watching tv.
2 / I wish I’d spend more time supporting English football clubs.
3 / I wish I’d spent more time arguing with people I don’t know about things I didn’t care about online.

Really, really regret building that tacky monstrosity of a McMansion that I rattled around in for years after the children moved out.

And related:
Maybe moving back to the town/city/village to be close to the amenities we needed as we got old and frail would have been a better idea that living in bungalow bitz miles from anywhere.

At this rate, I'll be on my death bed and say "That childrens hospital will be great once it's finished. And then they can start building the underground".
