For me...

Finding out my newfound major celebrity crush is 35 years older than me... I thought he was only 40 odd. I'm extremely deflated.

And thinking I'd found a double youlked Haribo to win a holiday prize but I was pranked.

Lastly, my DS now saying Daddy and putting arms out to daddy. Until now, he's done my head in by constantly only ever wanting me. I feel quite upset now he's all for DH.

I've had a lot of fruit related disappointment in my life, especially pears. Now I tend to stick to tinned pears to prevent the despair.

A fruit disappointment of mine is that I've developed an allergy to apples in the last few years. So much so that my voice changes and my throat closes up.

When I last tried eating one, I could hardly swallow. I'm really quite cross because I find them really enjoyable, refreshing and a good snack with few calories but lots of goodness Envy

I'm also allergic to plums and peaches. The plums I don't mind, but I do miss a juicy peach.

Charbonnel et Walker chocolates, they are crap, very overpriced and expensive crap, as bad as Thorntons, if not worse.

Summer, could it be stuff that is sprayed on them? Pesticides, wax, preservatives?

Memory foam in shoes, especially Bobs which used to be so comfortable and are now not worth bothering with, I had some really comfy espadrille rope soled ones and they don't make them any more, they all have those sweaty insoles that make you feel as if you are tilting backwards.

Yes, it would be a bit of a trudge.

Perranporth Beach. Lovely beach but covered with tourists and their rubbish
