Fancying stuff I'm not normally fussed by

So... since there's been shortages in the supermarkets, schools closed, social distancing etc, I really am in the mood to do stuff I'm not normally fussed by:

  • I really want to eat an egg sandwich (don't usually eat eggs or bread!), but I have NO eggs, and neither me or DH have found any for a couple of weeks!
  • I am in the mood to go to a farm to watch lambs being born - not usually an animal person though
  • I really want to do the school run (normally counting down the days til the next hols!), I miss normality!

So what do you fancy to eat or in the mood, that you aren't normally bothered by, just because you can't?

I've been on keto diet for 2 years. Now I so want rice and noodles slathered in Chinese curry sauce. Beans and egg on toast. POT NOODLE. Every carb I haven't had for so long but have in the house for the kids. 😭

When I was doing my daily walk with the kids the other day, the 45 minute route was fine. It occurred to me that if the rules were that you could do a maximum of an hour, that 45 minutes wouldn't have seemed enough, I'd have wanted the full hour!

Sorry toomuchfaster Grin

I'm so hungry now, I want a brick sized piece of halloumi.

Seasprayandsunshine · 28/03/2020 13:42

I really want to take my 12 week old swimming! Before this all kicked off it seemed like it would be a bit of a nightmare, now it's all I want to do.

Madein1995 · 28/03/2020 13:46

Im discovering that being at home I'm a) eating more than usual and b) eating very different stuff. Usually breakfast is a m and a pastry and a costa, and lunch is a pasta salad, crisps and drink. Now I'm having cornflakes and orange juice for breakfast, snacking on crisps, lunch is normally a sandwich, yogurt and more crisps and I'm just snacking more. And drinking more.

I'm drinking tea which I never usually do at work
Using more milk
Really craving carve like bread and pasta
Comfort food like soup
Chocolate

I’m about ten mikes from Kidderminster, Abelino.
Believe me, you’d be disappointed Grin

Papergirl1968 · 28/03/2020 13:51

Miles!

SlipSlidin · 28/03/2020 13:55

Clothes shopping. I almost never do it and order everything online but I’d love to be able to go into a shop and riffle about clothes rails moaning about everything making me look like a fat bastard.

I never get my hair cut either but a shampoo and cut in a salon would be fantastic right now.

FranGoldsmith · 28/03/2020 14:07

All our nearby chippies are closed, so of course I can't stop thinking about fish, chips and peas, all soggy from the vinegar and steaming with loads of salt on.

I also want to:
go to the coast and see the sea
go for a long walk in a forest
go to the pub for a Sunday roast and a glass of wine
see my friends in person
have a spa day
attend running club and run with actual humans instead of on my own
go to a zumba class at my gym
go on holidays - all the holidays; I don't mind where - just away

I'm sick to death of my local area already - streets and streets worth of suburbs: house after house after house.

FinallyHere · 28/03/2020 14:08

n the mood to go to a farm to watch lambs being born

I've seen lots of adverts for live web-cams at zoos etc. There may be ones for lambs being born.

Sn0tnose · 28/03/2020 14:26

All of the takeaways. (Except Burger King, I’m not that desperate yet).

Sitting in our local pub garden with DH, reading the papers and soaking up the sun.

Wandering up and down every aisle in Sainsbury’s, looking at all the homeware stuff.

Going to a nearby seaside town, having a wander around all of the independent shops, finding somewhere lovely to have lunch, playing a round of crazy golf.

Waking up on a Sunday morning and deciding what we’re going to do for the day and where we’re going to go.

Bluearsedfly36 · 28/03/2020 14:29

Chicken breasts... can't find them anywhere here. I want to make hunters chicken and can't.

labazsisgoingmad · 28/03/2020 14:53

Papergirl yes im in tenbury wells and Kiddy is not the high spot round here!
usually once a week me and oh go for a nice quiet coffee and a naughty piece of cake at the garden centre. just us a chance to catch our breath chat and just be us for a while. really missing that. i dont go out a lot anyway but its things like that and the sunday boot sales we would be starting to do that are really making life hard

Katinski · 28/03/2020 15:20

Is Kidderminster still the hub for carpet making - was it ever? If so, I'd love a large rug, please.
But I'm really dreaming about eggs. Love them and want them, like NOW! None in Morrisons last trip I made thereSad

I8toys · 28/03/2020 16:49

Anchovies - can't bloody get them from anywhere and I'm seriously craving them

devildeepbluesea · 28/03/2020 16:54

I just want to go and mooch around the charity shops, buy some sweeties from the old fashioned sweet shop and have a coffeen in Costa. I'm really not arsed about coffee shops but the company would be lovely.

Of course, I'm also craving a lovely pint in my local boozer, but I always crave that...

Giffgaff99 · 28/03/2020 16:59

I'm finding I'm eating stuff I wouldn't usually touch.. had a load of peanut butter with white bread- I have a wheat intolerance and shouldn't really eat bread. As i type I've just got off the loo with the runs due to said bread. Stuffed crunches bars - wouldn't usually touch a chocolate bar

Papergirl1968 · 28/03/2020 17:12

It was Katinski but it has taken a big hit in recent years, from cheaper foreign imports, as well as the trend for laminate floors, I guess.
Having said that I think the carpet factories are still major employers in the town.
It’s all right, actually, is Kiddie - a good range of shops for its size and some trendy canalside bars and coffee shops.
And yes,iabazsisgoingmad, there are some lovely nurseries nearby. I do like a good nursery coffee shop!

Papergirl1968 · 28/03/2020 17:14

I’m desperate for a haircut, eyebrow shape and chin wax! I will look like the wild woman of Borneo when this is over Smile

ArseholesOnToast · 28/03/2020 17:25

I really want a Whopper, the biggest one they do (or did 🙁) with loads of extras crammed in. I very rarely eat that sort of thing but now I can’t have one, I want one.

I want to sit in the pub and have a something and chips dinner.

I want to go down to the lake with my friend and her dogs and have a coffee.

I want to get back on my low carbing but I can’t seem to stop eating shite even though it makes me ill.

Redcrayons · 28/03/2020 17:31

Oh Maccies. I haven’t set foot inside one in more than a year but I was surprisingly quite upset when they closed.

And now thanks to this thread I want to go swimming. I can’t even remember the last time I went.

Michaelbaubles · 28/03/2020 17:46

I miss driving! I usually drive for 1.5 hours a day and although I don’t miss doing it every day I miss that time on my own, Radio 4 or an audiobook on, bag of humbugs in the door pocket.

Trips to the library - the books I have here are either crap or I’ve finished them.

Pub on a friday after work - the one we go to has a different food truck every week too!

Cinema with the kids.

And just getting out, driving somewhere, going to a cafe, finding somewhere for the kids to play, listening to music and chatting on the way home. Bliss!

HollySideEyes · 28/03/2020 17:54

Well it's not stuff but it's a man Blush.

He was pursuing me, on my journey to work I would bump into him. He always wanted my number and I always refused.

Haven't seen him for a while now and am wondering about him, if he's ok etc Blush.

Lolimax · 28/03/2020 18:02

Swim in a pool, walk the dogs by the sea, get drunk in a pub, have afternoon tea in a cafe, get proper dressed up with make up on.
