Things that always disappoint

For me it's baths. Never quite the experience I crave.

Houses in my budget that i've been viewing.

Those Chinese clothes that appear beside my FB feed. The algorithm is frighteningly good and they show me clothes that are exactly what I love. I know they will be crap and the wrong size, but I keep getting suckered in by flowing patchwork harem pants anyway. The disappointment is in myself, really.

Imported strawberries, apricots, pears, all are always hard and tasteless

Definitely hair salon appointments.

Every time I go I imagine leaving with a lovely bouncy, healthy hair cut and blow dry.

The reality : Limp, product laden hair that needs rewashing the minute I get home and a wait of 3 weeks before the cut grows into a half decent shape.

It doesn’t matter where I go. Always the same.

Ditto hair appointments.

I always insist on NO product PLEASE.

I always think 'Family Fun Day' is an oxymoron.

100% fruit teas & the cinema, what’s the point at home is way more comfortable and no one else’s kids

RuthW · 27/08/2021 18:37

Anything I spend more than 5 mins preparing. Never tastes as good as a ready meal.

Definitely agree with cinema. Too loud, my wheelchair only goes in the shit seats at the front and have to crane my neck to watch. Crazy expensive drinks and popcorn.

Also they just don't make films like the used to!! I would rather sit at home with a G&T and watch the full monty than go spend a tenner on what cost the cinema approx 68p and watch the newest marvel blockbuster.

God I sound like a right miserable git 😂

Channel 5 dramas. That recent one about the intruder was dire.

Products for curly hair! I have a cupboard full. Cringe at the money I've spent. Go back to my £2 mousse every time.
Hair cut, tears, tantrums then cut it myself. Why can't hairdressers cut textured hair not every one has poker straight hair and not everyone wants to straighten it. Just follow what I say and not what you think 🤬

Roast dinner. I cook it and then really don't fancy it. If I suggest something else for Sunday dinner I just get strange looks off my family.
