Swimming, I've never understood the appeal.
Ditto holidays abroad, probably because I've never been able to afford a proper holiday.

As I've got older the list gets longer Sad

I quite like drinking though (someone will probably say if I stopped i could afford a holiday Grin)

fake tanning/nails/eyebrows.
Just don’t care enough. I get occasional mani and eyebrow threading but not the micro blading and only had fake tan once - never again!

High heels - can’t walk in them. Highest I do is a kitten heel.

I’m not v glam 😆 when I do have to glam up
I don’t quite feel like myself.

Instagram, posting selfies while pouting in the mirror, unconcealed smug self obsession. I just feel so embarrassed for people. When did presenting yourself as an egocentric moron become normal behaviour Confused

ChippyChickenChips · 03/01/2021 18:35

Polite small talk. I'm crap at it.

GlumyGloomer · 03/01/2021 18:37

Manicures. I've done it once to be a bridesmaid and the cuticle stripping was a form of torture.

SantasBritchesSpelleas · 03/01/2021 18:37

Holding other people’s babies

Oh, yes, me too. I'd be absolutely terrified of dropping the baby. If anyone offers me a baby to hold, I just say 'Oh, no, she looks far too happy to disturb ...'

Fake tan in winter when you are covered up anyway...same as with pedicures. I look after my feet and file them but don't paint toenails..
