Would you be willing to admit

[Samtsirch]

This is intended to be lighthearted so I apologise if anyone is upset or offended.
I just wondered if anyone would be willing to admit to something which really upsets them about the lockdown situation, whilst also being very aware of how petty and selfish it is in light of the widespread suffering and the seriousness of the whole awful situation ?
For example, I am so thankful for everything I have atm and am doing as much as I can to help neighbours and friends, but I am absolutely gutted that Eastenders/ The Archers won’t be on so often, and also that I am about to run out of my industrial strength cover up foundation, which I used to buy at my local chemist and doesn’t seem to be available online..😟

I was really please because for the first time in several years, I managed to book a couple of days' annual leave over Easter - my parents were to visit and do day trips and so on. Now the days will be wasted. As you say, very petty and the reality is I will be grateful if we all make it to Easter.

I feel pretty upset for my son that hell most likely miss out on properly saying goodbye to all his nursery friends/staff.

I feel upset that my 5 year old is missing out on her vital reception year at school. My guess is by the time they go back in September she will be in year 1 already

I can't get my roots done!!

I dropped supplies off for a friend who is isolated.

The dog came to the gate. We dog share, the dog lives with me half the time and then half with her. We decided as they have symptoms and the dog was there, that she should stay with the..

Doggy was whining at the gate and I just wanted to give her a cuddle and take her home. I have to leave the food on the doorstep and not cuddle her.

I actually shed a tear. I love that dog. But I think it was just everything, got to me.

Liverpool were about to win the league.
DH and I actually got our shit together and coordinated our annual leave to cover the school holidays alternating.
We finally managed to book a weekend away for us all in the summer holidays.

All very petty, and I've got bigger things like family I can't see etc. But it all adds up.

I had booked my first haircut/ colour at a proper salon for next tuesday - im 34 and have never been able to afford it.

Im facing jobloss and we are fucked but it still bothers me

OP you need to save your foundations for special occasions. Does mean you may have to do your daily exercise in the dark.

Me - I'm pissed that I won't be able to go to the corner shop, which I can see out of my window for a minimum of 12 weeks.

I just paid nearly £200 for annual passes to a local attraction for me, my husband Ann's it 3yo. Now the attraction is closed obviously. And by the time it reopens we will probably have to buy a more expensive pass as 3yo wil be over the height limit.

On a more serious note, I have a 2 day old baby who might not get to meet her grandparents for months.

I’m sad that I trained really hard for a race that’s been cancelled.

I'm gutted about my summer holiday. My kids were really looking forward to it. My daughter is really missing swimming.

I'm miffed that my new sofa isn't getting delivered tomorrow as planned. Currently sitting on deckchairs for the foreseeable

First world problems hey?

I wish, that if we had to have lockdown, it was in the winter months

Spring is my favourite time of year, I literally live for it

I'll have to clean my own house

I want to go to work. I love my job

I want a pedicure.

I'm also a housing worker who is dealing with thousands of traumatized tenets and a huge tsunami of work. Still I. The office.

But I still want a pedicure.

I'm worried that my husband won't be able to come with me during labour

I'm sad that I am going to have to remove and redo my own gel polish. Only started getting my nails done again every month just before Christmas after 3 years since having DD.

Gutted I now don't have this 1 treat for myself and I won't see the lady who does them for a while.

We were going to book our first family holiday this year with our 1 year old. Disappointed!

Dd won’t get to do her a levels.

I've wanted to go to Iceland for 30 years. I hoped to be surprised for my 40th...my 50th...then just booked it for myself for my 55th.

Tauntingly the flights are still on this week and the Blue Lagoon has been sending welcoming messages. Our accommodation is non refundable (booked in September) and we probably can't claim on insurance as Iceland is still open 😢.

And sadly I'd managed to book a time when all of us could go - very rare for us nowadays.

Ah well. There are worse things than a missed holiday.

I’m upset DS missed saying goodbye to friends and missed his last ever day in high school because we were S.I.
G.C.S.E situation.
Also I have no wine.

I'm gutted that I can't keep safe at home.

Most things I'm worried about are serious things that could affect me life. My job is hanging by a thread so very worried about that, if this lasts for 6-12 months I don't think I'll have a job to go back to at all.

But in terms of petty things im annoyed I can't get my hair cut and that Eurovision is cancelled.

I’m also sad about EastEnders.

I’d planned a trip to see my elderly parents (the other end of the country), having not seen them since last summer. I’m sad about not being able to go.
