I doubt there's NOT even one of US who hasn't done this at least once in our lifetime. (US so OUR is the logical agreement) I doubt there's NOT even one of THEM who hasn't done this at least once in THEIR lifetime. I doubt there's NOT even one of YOUR who hasn't done this at least once in YOUR lifetime.

Thank you Anon. Although I think the NOT there is incorrect. It's double negative and changes the meaning. I missed 'who' in my sentence though. So it would be 'I doubt there's even one of us who hasn't done this at least once in their lifetime'

I wasn't really sure if they'd done it or not :-)

Did you mean this, then?

I'm sure all of them THEM have done this at least once in THEIR lifetime.

Yes. Roughly translated, that's what my sentence would mean.
