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.

I’ve one finishing this year, I feel really really sad. They are all scattering as well. They’ve worked so hard on sats. They are a lovely year group who really get on and they won’t get that goodbye.

Even doing something later in the year won’t work, they’ll be secondary teenagery twats by then.

It’s my DH 40th we have so much planned 3 holidays 2 concerts and 1 big meal and then a joint 40th. Most stuff is from June but I don’t think it will happen.

My ds will likely miss his primary leavers dance, his induction week at high school, getting piped out of school on their last day. Not important in the great scheme of things but a right of passage that he'll miss out on. He's really missing his football too, usually plays twice a week and trains twice a week. He's also really close to his grandparents, stays over every week and now can't see them for who knows how long. Just sad for him and them really.

I won’t get to say goodbye to my colleagues when I go on maternity leave

No send offs

No visits from grandparents to see baby for however many weeks they are kept in isolation for

We have spent 2 years planning my daughter’s wedding and it looks like it will need to be cancelled now. Gutted

I've just bought party stuff for my 2 sons' and husbands birthdays birthdays in April. It's the same weekend, so wait all year
Looks like the four of us indoors - we had a lovely party last year.
But I'm just grateful we are healthy (though one son has a temp 39 degrees tonight).

It’s my 30th birthday mid April, the meal my fiancée has arranged with our family will more than likely be cancelled. My sister in law has Type 1 diabetes and my fiancée’s grandfather has suspected coronovirus, so we can’t even arrange a meal at home for everyone because they won’t be able to attend. I know in the grand scheme of things it’s small, but I’m disappointed as last year my birthday was terrible since my elderly cat died the same day and I’d fallen out with my now ex best friend of ten years.

No school mother's day event with my reception ds. Not seeing my mum on Mother's Day. No cherry and almond lattice in my waitrose delivery today
