Things that you expected to love but didn't.

[CaramelJones]

I recently tried watching Strictly Ballroom, with the expectation that I'd love it because it ticked so many boxes for me but I didn't enjoy it.

Likewise the Shirley Jackson book, We Have Always Lived In The Castle. It didn't do anything for me and yet so many people rave about it so it's obviously me not the book.

Which things did you think you'd love but didn't?

I forgot Biscoff spread.

Sun-dried tomatoes
Mamma Mia
Armani Luminous Silk
Venice
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo books

Having a dog, kids getting older, owning my own business.

Living in a village, growing out my natural hair colour, working in my degree subject area, Poldark, blueberries.

I agree about Shirley Jackson although my disappointment was The Haunting of Hill House! Also:
Opera
The Wire - tried so many times to watch it but just can't
Cupcakes

Lala land

Stranger things. Love this sort of stuff. But struggled through the first series and never went on to watch the rest.
same with American horror story.
think old age is changing me

That disappointed me too. I adored some lines but it didn't work for me as a whole.

Nutella
Arizona, Phoenix in particular, beige, very beige
Normal People

Wireless earbuds.

Teaching my children to read. I thought it would be the most amazing thing in the world to do. In reality it drove me to distraction.

TV Line of Duty

Paris
Living in a village
Skiing

Horse riding. Always wanted to do it, finally decided to in 2nd year of university. I HATED it. Couldn't wait to get down and decided I'd enjoy horses from the ground from there on in.

Scuba diving
Mountain biking
Banoffee pie
War and Peace
Owning a breadmaker

Breastfeeding…too much sitting still with my baps out for me

Steam cleaner…pish

Living abroad as a trailing spouse - so lonely.

I loooove reading but anything and everything by Salman Rushdie I try and try, and try some more because I feel I should love it, but can never finish.

@KimWexlersPonyTail Sorry but surely you've tried fake Nutella?! 😳😬

Krispy Kreme

Krispy Kreme is horrible.
