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. 😁

I want to go out in a busy restaurant without masks, go on holidays, sit in a busy cinema, go shopping and leisurely stroll around the shops (if there is any left) and stopping off for lunch somwhere. Yesterday is tomorrow's dream...Smile

@Snowymcsnowsony

My Dhusky.. She has decided now is a great time to shed huge bag fulls of hair.... Usually the weather is nicer and can shove her outside!! Where she prefers when fully fluffy! Ds6 asked every day this week why his toast always has a hair on.. Blush
What's a dhusky? Surely not a dachshund crossed with a husky (there's only one way round that can be possible.
DinosaurDiana · 20/02/2021 17:24

Definitely the husband.

The X factor

rawalpindithelabrador · 20/02/2021 17:26

Cooking and walking

grassisjeweled · 20/02/2021 17:27

Making decisions

MotherofHeathens · 20/02/2021 17:27

Another who is sick of local family walks, and mud (walking in it, on boots, in the car, seemingly all over the sodding house no matter how much I vacuum).

My DH doing the supermarket shop - he buys ‘his’ list and I’m so sick of carb heavy meals or kid food, I’m craving vegetables that aren’t kid approved choices.

The furniture, the decor, the entire house! We’re trying to move but buyer pulled out last minute which is making me resent the house even more.

grassisjeweled · 20/02/2021 17:28

Also, husband

And the endless : 'what are we having for lunch /dinner???'

Mochudubh · 20/02/2021 17:30

D'oh! Dear Husky!

It's been a long week😊

JosephineBaker · 20/02/2021 17:33

My living room. Freshly decorated 18 months ago and I loved it. Now the teens have scraped the wallpaper badly moving furniture around for gaming, the sofa arms are damaged and the cushoins are flat and uncomfortable. Never buy from SCS would be my advice. I could cry.

AnaisNun · 20/02/2021 17:57

You know what ISNT losing its appeal?

Wine.

Lovely lovely wine.

Susie477 · 20/02/2021 18:21

Watching tennis. I still enjoy playing the game, and I used to love watching the pros. I have been to Wimbledon & Queens loads of times, and I went to the Nottingham tournament every year.

The problem is that since they slowed the balls down, the defensive baseliners have had too much of an advantage, the rallies are too long, nobody serves & volleys anymore, there is no variation of tactics and the game has become monotonous, negative and boring to watch.

PinkyParrot · 20/02/2021 18:23

Murder series - gruesome death, pia detective with ishoos - there are only so many variations on a theme.

LindaEllen · 20/02/2021 18:24

Spending time at home 🤣🤣

bobbikato · 20/02/2021 18:28

Writing stuff in my diary work appointments,mot date - now all the pages are blank, got sick of just writing " went for a walk ..."
Also browsing round Charity Shops last summer was a PITA havin to wash hands ten times and look at piles of tat .

SugarfreeBlitz · 20/02/2021 18:32

I am fed up with wine, now you come to mention it.

Currently saving calories and having gin instead.

Justcashnosweets · 20/02/2021 18:36

Cooking. I fucking hate it now.

VicSynix · 20/02/2021 18:38

Having time off work. Used to love a day off, doing absolutely nothing, bit of lying on the sofa, reading, chilling out. Now I'm seriously thinking about asking if I can work full-time rather than part-time as another long weekend (especially when it's bloody raining) is frankly dull.

CandidaAlbicans2 · 20/02/2021 18:44

Booze. I'm just not as enthusiastic about it any more (which I suppose isn't a bad thing), but I feel like just anaesthetising myself with it until life improves.

My local on-street walks. It's nice but I'm tired of them now, and the other local walks are too muddy to bother with.

Cooking. I live alone so my options are doing it all or getting ready meals, and I don't want to buy lots of ready meals. Even though I cook in bulk and freeze it in portions I'm getting through it quicker than my enthusiasm to cook can match 🙄

Munkeenut · 20/02/2021 18:58

Husband, walking, takeaways, particularly dominos, baked bloody potatoes

SugarfreeBlitz · 20/02/2021 19:10

Certain people! Namely the sanctimonious ones who like to boast of all their charity work in a "I'm better than you" way and the drama queens with their glass half full who will never be happy however good their lives are.

rawalpindithelabrador · 20/02/2021 19:11

Australia and NZ. Endless comparisons. We don't live there. If it's so great go and fuck off to there.
