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..😟

Going round the garden centres in the sunshine with my mum and going in their cafes for cream teas 😩

And Antiques Roadshow coming to a town near me for the first time ever will probably be cancelled and I’ve got my dress sorted and everything 😔

yep that we will run out of tv.once all the alrady made tv come on and then gone one day we will run out.thanks goodness now for things made in advance

I'm Upset that my 5 year old has probably finished reception. I know she is very happy and settled with her friends. I feel sad when we next take her to school it will be an anxious time after being cut off from the world. I know she will be confused. There's a chance she will have a male teacher in year one and she's very very nervous around men. She will be in the classroom working more and won't have the outdoor space she is so used too. I hope the teacher is patient with her as they have had to give her extra support to understand the routine of school. She understands it now and is progressing well. I fear we will be back to square one if she doesn't get to go back into reception for a while. I know every single child is in the same boat. But I do feel sad for what she will miss. She was just starting to attend birthdays and get to know a set of girls in her class. Many of them will separate as year one and two have 3 classrooms. I just feel this is the worst start to school life for her.

I know in the grand scheme of things it's pathetic. Mumsnetters will be thinking get a grip. But its how I feel and that's that. I'm just thankful my younger son will hopefully get the chance to do the full year in 2.5 years.

DS1 is autistic and a total bus nerd. We spend most of our weekends travelling around the region by bus, playing Pokemon Go, while we're at it. We spent some of last Saturday afternoon watching empty bus after empty bus drive past our house. I had a lump in my throat.

On a more serious note, he has spent the past week pretty much horizontal and I don't know when he'll leave the house again. Or even move any more energetically than shuffling between his bed, the loo, the kitchen and the sofa.

one of my dd is not yet back home,
i can't pop out for wine.
it is lovely weather and i have to go to work and be very scared about the family catching this virus.

DP is disappointed about Wrestlemania being cancelled and after reading all of these posts I’m worried that Hollyoaks might get postponed!!

Seriously OP thank you for making this thread, it’s such a relief to see all the little things that go through people’s minds at a time like this without fear of judgement. Lots of love and stay safe x

Hill walking holiday and day trips cancelled ☹️ I will look like Strewwelpeter if I can’t get my hair cut.

I need a hair cut and I’ve given up trying to get my prescription from the pharmacy. I’ve been three times and there’s a queue of about 50 people each time. I daren’t stand in it as dh is “high risk” and they are not two meters apart (not that I even trust that). I also have fibromyalgia and can’t stand for too long.

I am enjoying having ds home from school (although I expect that will soon were thin). He has been school refusing and crying at drop off and it’s been nice not having to make hime go.

I’m annoyed now that I’m well ( have post menopasal clinicial depresssion) I can ‘t go out, I spent months not being well enough!
On the plus side great family Skype sessions on Tues eve with family, different countries too

I miss my fiance. We live 15 miles apart and we took the decision not to spend time together because he's customer facing. I still planned to meet him in his driveway and vice versa.

Needing my roots done
Ditto my nails done
Tomorrow is my 50th Birthday 😔

Popular answer, no getting my hair cut. I've trimmed the fringe this evening, not a bad job.
Missing my grown up kids ,the gym and going out for coffee.
Also I'm a self employed cleaner and not working now. Finances aren't too bad at the moment but I'm hoping the talk of help for the self employed is forthcoming soon.

Worrying time for us all

Missing physical contact with family and a certain gent. Am isolating alone, has to be done. I wont need to miss the lovely chocolates I've been saving since Christmas or the bubbles still in the fridge.

Eurovision. Cancelling fucking Eurovision.

It’s my happiest day of the year every year 😂

We have much bigger stresses right now, but when they confirmed that Eurovision was cancelled I realised this is truly the end times.

My parents were due to visit me (and their grandkids) in May. It would have been the first time we've seen each other in three years. Pretty upset about that.

Happy birthday for tomorrow, Biffs.

Not having a big party at home for ds3’s third birthday.

We moved last year from a tiny 2 bed (that we were squished into for 12 years) to a very large 3 bed.

All of dc1 and 2’s home parties, and ds3’s 1st and 2nd birthdays were in our tiny old house. A struggle to say the least.

I was really looking forward to being able to do a ‘big’ proper family party at home. Plenty of space for games, big conservatory to lay the buffet out, the space to invite 20 family members with ease.

Total first world problem but I’m gutted we can’t do it now.

I can't go to the allotment to get my seed potatoes in the ground. It was top of my list for when I was out of self-isolation, and the lockdown happened one day before it ended. It's a tiny thing, nothing in the scheme of things, and I'm really disappointed.

I love the Olympic games and the Euro's , the only upside of the Euro's being postponed is that all of injured English strikers should be recovered!

I’m missing my students, and worried that some of them live alone and might suffer poor mental health because of a lack of social contact.

I’m pissed off that the longed for Easter holidays will he spent inside.

I’m worried my DP who was made redundant just before Christmas will never find a job now.

I am furious I am stuck with a gigantic blouse from Zara (size medium my arse) because I have no way to return it. No printer to print the note thing, and shops closed now.

Cancelled easter caravan break. Was looking forward to it. Work have also cancelled annual leave cancellations so week of wasted holiday
Yes I am petty. Yes it is a current luxury.

@SoundofSilence I'm pretty sure it was discussed on TV/radio today that going to allotment is fine.

It's no different than being in your own private garden.

Really? That would be great. I thought it would break the travel rules.

In a light hearted way... been working from home for a week now and still not watched any Netflix, was really gutted when school shut - I’m now too tired to wait tv after working and Home schooling and cooking and cleaning... not fair 😂

Really worried about my 7 month olds socialisation and development as he will only be seeing me and my partner and has only seen us for two weeks already due to following social distancing
