A CLEAN SLATE
A clean slate: a state in which you are starting an activity or process again, not considering what has happened in the past at all. Example: The previous negotiations did not go anywhere, and we intend to start them again next week with a clean slate. What would you do differently, if you could start again on a clean slate? I know we’ve had our differences, but I’d like to repair our friendship. Can we start over with a clean slate I really appreciate you giving me a clean slate after I failed that first test.
