Clean - I hate housework and consequently have no idea/desire how to learn to do it.

French plait hair - either mine or anyone else’s. I can’t ‘do’ hair either; never been able to style it by “blow drying with a round brush”, if I’ve had rollers they either curl too much or not at all. An Aurora band is OK, but if it’s either a bit too long or short (my hair) it looks terrible. When it was long I just used to end up blow drying then straightening it to death and it still looked shit. Dyson Airwrap; OK but takes ages and curls don’t last that long.

I can't tie balloons. I was helping at a neighbour's dd's birthday party and handed an untied balloon to her husband without even thinking for him to tie. He looked at me like WTF?! Blush

Also can't climb a ladder. My legs go all wobbly.

Can't open a champagne or prosecco bottle with the little metal things round the cork. I can't even be in the same room if one's being opened.

Can't boil an egg and have the yolk runny. You could break a window with my boiled eggs.

Can't keep my bedroom tidy. One day I'll be able to. But not yet.
