Lotus biscuits/spread - any of it. Used to LOVE it, now I'm completely sick of it.

Prosecco - liked the taste bit good grief it was taken over by the 'dance on the tables and drink Prosecco' gang so that had to go.

Gin - same

There are so many other things. I think lockdown has made me even more grumpy. 😁

WFH it used to be nice to break up the office and visit routine. Now I'm sick of it!!

The view from my window, it's all I've seen for months.

My sofa, hate it so much I've ordered a new one which should come at the end of May.

I was literally thinking Lotus/Biscoff I used to think it was lush now it just makes me feel sick thinking about it!!

LubaLuca · 20/02/2021 11:29

Having nothing to do. I used to look forward to those brief periods of having no outstanding work, housework, activities, appointments...

Salted caramel flavour everything
Baking fucking cakes
Making fucking lunch
Fucking walks in the bastard rain

Years and years ago, I used to like unicorns - as depicted in medieval tapestries etc. Then they became trendy in a glittery, sparkly, fluffy sort of way, associated with 'live, love, laugh' types. I'm not that type.

Sushi. I made the mistake of telling my OH I loved sushi... Now he brings home sushi 3/4 times a week Confused

I don’t have the heart to tell him I’m sick to death of it and just want some Pringles!

Mine like this is Lindor chocolates. It’s like you’re not allowed to go off anything. My MIL buys me Lindor every birthday/Christmas/Easter/anniversary. My DH buys them to surprise me as a treat. Now if the DC need to choose a special chocolate it’s Lindor because they’ve assimilated the information that Mum lives Lindor. I am an awful ungrateful moo and it’s first world problems but I’d rather have a Mars Bar at this juncture tbh. Everyone else ends up eating them but don’t seem to notice.

This is quite funny tbh. 3 to 4 times a week is clearly too much. Imagine it was something more mundane, like cottage pie. Anyone would get sick of having to have that 4 nights a week. You should probably just tell him that over-exposure is making it not a treat any more.

My..fucking..life.

Bralessandfree · 20/02/2021 16:24

lemon drizzle cake. Have made one of these nearly every week over lockdown.

Now that explains the weight gain.

Everything. I honestly think that I no longer care about anything Sad.

recluse · 20/02/2021 16:32

And especially my bloody local park - we’re so lucky to have it blah blah, but actually aside from being large it’s tedious as fuck.

Pardon my French.

Dontforgetyourbrolly · 20/02/2021 16:37

Reading books . Used to be such a pleasure to have the time to do so , but I just cant get into any now..bored bored bored !

UseOfWeapons · 20/02/2021 16:45

Cauliflower. Used to love it, now can’t bear it in the house, and will only eat it if someone else cooks it.

Being all positive and fucking cheery all the time at work, and with my patients during video consults. Sometimes it feels like I’m acting all day.

Walking round our post-apocalyptic town, with so few shops open and tumbleweed blowing through the centre. Lockdown can bugger off, thank you.

groundcontroltomontydon · 20/02/2021 16:48

Grey, chilli and Sainsbury's

SomewhereUpMyArse · 20/02/2021 16:52

Weed smokers. I used to think they were unconventional and harmless. Now I know they're stinky boring bastards and quite a lot of them are neds.

SugarfreeBlitz · 20/02/2021 16:54

I hate generic patterns and designs for décor and outdoor cushions. Just been to Haskins and the range was appalling. Going to look on Society6 now as I know there are many original designs there at least. I don't want the same garden cushions as everyone else!
Having more time to look at "things" makes me more fussy! Home has become so much more important!

Pizzaandgarlicdip · 20/02/2021 16:55

Zoom calls with friends. It was fun last summer when we’d all have a virtual brunch in the sunshine but now no one has anything to talk about and it’s so bloody boring and draining.
I begrudge giving up my evenings for them (even though it’s not like I’ve got anything else to do)

PigletJohn · 20/02/2021 17:07

chocolate oranges

mending houses

Popcornbetty · 20/02/2021 17:15

This lockdown has made me want a new sofa thats for sure!

MaidEdithofAragon · 20/02/2021 17:16

Zoom ‘drinks with friends’
Netflix
Reading
Crochet
Muddy walks
House having too many people in it all day and the mess they make
Having to wear gloves and poncho at work cos all the fresh air- I used to love a bit of cool fresh air
