What small but significant disappointments are you facing?

[DoubleAction]

Things that you know are nothing in the great scheme of things but still bother you more than you know they should.

I'm very concerned about how the illness will play out, how people will cope with a prolonged lockdown and how long it will take the economy to recover but I was knocked sideways by the realisation that the festival that DS2 has worked hard and saved hard for probably won't happen.

He's been getting more and more excited as all the "right" bands have been added to the lineup. I'll be gutted for him if it doesn't happen.

We have tickets to see a very niche band in May. They very rarely come to Scotland and they are scheduled to play on DP's birthday.

I'm certain they will cancel their tour. I know there are worse things going on but this band is quite special to us and we were really excited about seeing them.

On MAT leave and it's put a dampener on for sure. I'm sure our classes will be cancelled soon. Was also hoping to book a little holiday somewhere in the U.K. but won't now

That I wont see my mum and family on mothers day.

I havent seen them since before Cristmas (I dont live near them)or since I found out I was pregnant, really wanted to see them and mum is dying to see the bump.

I'm meant to be seeing Rammstein twice this summer - Cardiff in June and Tallin in July. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the July concert but I have a horrible feeling the Cardiff one will be cancelled as the virus is meant to be peaking in the UK around the same time

The June concert is the same week and mine and DBro's birthday and I'm meant to be giving him the ticket as his present....he is notoriously difficult to buy for so I was very pleased that I had his present sorted last October Also his original flight was to Cardiff with Flybe but they went bust so he had to rebook and is now flying to Birmingham instead...it's like the world is making sure he doesn't get to the concert!

I saw them last summer so it wouldn't be the end of the world but I bought the tickets back in October and managed to get really good seats as well...

Italy holiday. Currently not being cancelled as is (just) after the end of the initial timing for the lockdown.

Possibly other travel later in the year.

Tanfastic - ow, that one really upset me. What a crappy thing to happen. Hope he’s not too despondent and he gets on his course as planned. Good luck.

Dd1's GCSEs and Prom will be affected. My 40th celebrations in June are unlikely to happen.
In the grand scheme of things not massively major, but as Dd1 is waiting for CBT and has severe anxiety anyway it's something we didn't need.
Grandmother (93) is in quarantine already to protect the home she's in.

I'm still (very) naively hoping it'll settle down soon!

I was going to Italy this week, been booked since last summer 😕

A trip to Greece in June for a wedding

A little mix concert in July

A Lewis Capaldi concert in July

I have a holiday booked in September to Portugal! (Possibly hoping to make this one but who knows)

How long are we not doing concerts for guys? June/July is ages away!

particularly sorry for the seniors who are about to graduate

My dd graduates this year, I don't think it's occurred to her yet that it will almost certainly be cancelled.

We are meant to be going to the US over Easter but I don’t think that will happen - the children have taken it very well and know that it’s just a holiday and we can go another time hopefully.

I think as a PP said it’s the little everyday things that are going to be hardest to get used to. So sorry for everyone’s disappointments.

My son’s u11 team qualified for the national finals on weds, but his school has decided to withdraw from all sports fixtures. Gutted for him.

June/July is ages away but close to the expected peak of cases here, unfortunately.

I'm so disappointed that our local playgroups, music class and soft play are closing. My son is adopted and has only been with us for 6 months. Life is already very difficult and he needs such a rigid routine, I'm not sure how he will cope with all the change.

A concert my choir have been rehearsing for since November - one of my favourite pieces of music. My son not getting to see his grandparents for the foreseeable future.

This Summer I'm meant to be having my hen do. Seeing my most favourite musical artist and getting married. And I'm so so worried and sad that none of these things will happen.

I've been thinking will I be able to function to care for my children if I'm unlucky to get it. Also I've been looking forward to Spring as we always have a family holiday. Hopefully we can still go as it's in the UK.... I just feel we can't stop on the way now at the services and potientally days out will be closed. It's also not fun knowing the peak is in 10-14 weeks. Doesn't really give you the usual sunshine and feel good vibes. Just feel it's going to be a shit summer full of anxiety for many people.

Also I'm half way through anemia treatment and drs sent messages out yesterday saying appointments will be over the phone only now and harder to get, Just feel it's hard enough getting appointments and I won't be allowed near a Dr for bloods anytime soon!

Grrrr

I'm worrying about if I'll lose my other parent as they are high risk if they catch it

I am supposed to be taking my Brownies on their first pack holiday Inn the Easter holidays. It is about 2 hours away from home, and mixing with about 300 other Brownies from elsewhere. It hasn't officially been cancelled yet, but I'm sure it will be before we go, and even if it isn't cancelled I think most of the parents will choose not to send them anyway

Seeing my parents for my 40th birthday (they are isolating themselves as primary carers for my 96 year old grandmother). Also likely won't see any friends either as everyone is hiding away. I do understand but having had a really crap time recently and as I don't live near them, or anyone I know well, I was clinging on to the fact that I'd see them all soon.

My DD has stopped breastfeeding after 3 years.
My job application wasn't even good enough for me to be invited for an interview.
I am going grey.

So many little things. It's my 50th this year and I'd booked lots of trips and fun things - first one has gone ski trip to France meant to have gone on Thursday- lost all our money although I guess I'm glad we didn't go as France now on lockdown.
Duran Duran in Dublin in July - assume this won't be happening.
Costa Rica summer trip ditto.

Saddest bit is US relatives that probably won't be coming over now and even if they do make it over, then my DPs will probably refuse to see them due to the risk.

Oh and A silent place 2 and James Bond releases being postponed.

I think people don't realise how important this small things are to your MH.

This whole thing is absolutely crazy, being locked in your home for two weeks plus, missing out on basic social activities and the not know what's happening.

Was meant to take my grandad to see his brother and sister was flying from Ireland but it's all gone tits up. And they are at an age where is could be the last get together.

It’s my 50th next week and my friend was taking me to Marb’s the week after.

In the whole scheme of things it’s only minor and hopefully we can reschedule.
