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’m disappointed that all the televised live events have been cancelled, in particular the Olympics and Glastonbury.

" I live alone. I am spending the next 3 weeks at least by myself. It’s making me in a sense productive, thinking what I can get done, and in a way sad and lonely. I hope my job will still be there. For now, it is as is my pay. Time will tell."

Make sure you text/whatsapp/ phone family, friends and colleagues old and new. A lot of people are at home more with more time for a chat. Other single people will be in the same boat. You can even arrange to have a drink with a friend "virtually" with phone/zoom/FaceTime or watch some tv or a movie "together". Play chess, scrabble or whatever else you can think of online/app with a mate.

Gutted my divorce will take that little bit longer

Petty annoying things - I’ve had to soak my gel nails off and my nails are ‘naked’ for the first time in three years and they look grim!

I'm willing to admit that I'm bloody loving being at home all day, as I'm a massive introvert and work from home anyway. It boggles my mind that people need so much 'entertainment' (zoom chats etc) to keep them occupied.

This. Walking to my job as a key worker is heaven. Empty streets and sunshine.

Shopping for essentials is a dream. People staying 2m away in the queue!

Grey roots.

Missing my family holiday to center parks.

Not being able to run with my running buddy. Our chats helped the day feel better.

Not being able to see my boyfriend.

Manchester marathon (relay) and Manchester 10k postponed.

Seeing friends.

After years of school refusal and poor mental health my DD was loving college and starting to have a social life.

That we've had to cancel everything we were going to do for dd's birthday, especially as last year I ruined it by being admitted into hospital and I missed everything, had big plans to make up for it.

I’m so upset that my DS is missing school he absolutely loves it and when he goes back to school he’ll be in year one and i feel like I’m missing his last few months as a baby. Also our holiday will probably be cancelled. It was the first time we were taking our boys abroad and we were all so excited. DS made a countdown after Christmas for it and now he’s counting down to nothing.

Had to cut our Turks and caicos trip short by 2 weeks and return home but I think I've caught it anyway

We had a family holiday booked at a place we had struggled to save the money for. Obviously now cancelled.

My baby is 2 weeks old and no one can meet him!

I miss choir, and I'm sad for DD missing school and Brownies and her friends. But the thing that really niggles me is that I'd just renewed my Network railcard!

Gutted that I can't go out for a curry with my friend. We rarely get to see each other and had scheduled a curry catch up at a lovely local restaurant. Small fry in the grand scheme of things but . . .

I CantBelieveIDidThis....goes to Google Milton Jones.....

I'm annoyed that my neighbours keep letting their daughter play in the shared alleyway, and leave whatever she's been playing with all over. It limits the opportunities I have to put things in the outside bin, and increases the contact I have to make with things so much more having to move her things out of the way.

Very small fry issue, but I'm short tempered at the moment, and it's pissing me off.

I'm proper pissed off I can't get my nails done!!!

I’m happy to be able to work from home - but so frustrated that I’m at home all day and have to work!!! (I’d rather be crafting!)

Petty things. Hollyoaks! Yes, I'm a grown woman but for some reason I still love it and it's the only soap I watch. Still, three days a week should just about keep me going and I have other things I can do, books to read, wool to knit and a cheap course I bought on Groupon yesterday to do.

Petty, but oh my days it hurts hard. Liverpool were about to win the league for the first time in thirty years and I was so, so, SO excited. They might still give it to them and should, but no ticker-tape parade, not all in the stadium holding the cup.

Petty as all get out. My birthday is in a couple of weeks and blah.

I think it's easier to focus on the small things that ultimately don't really matter a lot in the greater scheme of things because it stops us focusing on the bigger things. To everyone who has serious problems, are ill with the virus, have a loved one who is ill and they're worried about, might not have a job at the end of it, is low on money because their employer is being an arsehole ... I think of you at various points throughout the day when I'm not being petty and I wish you nothing but wellness and security.

Hair and cleaning which are both about to be done very ineptly by me.

But mostly I’m gutted because I decided to give up online clothes/home shopping for lent. It wasn’t for religious reasons but I was being quite evangelical about it to everyone. Now I have to choose between a pair of trousers I’ve wanted for ages that are 50% off in the sale or my self esteem!

I’ve spent the last year traumatised by the revelation of my husband’s sex addiction. Lost a year basically. Now this year’s Coronavirus has me feeling another year is a blank. I’m worried I won’t be able to climb out of this hole. Lightheartedly, I finally decided I’m worth the money spent for laser treatment for rosacea. And now it’s cancelled.

Line of Duty. Best thing on telly.

F1 being postponed/cancelled. After the two
Netflix series I am now a newbie super fan and would love to go to one, Monaco maybe, or Abu Dhabi. That's off for 2020.

Like a PP, I really thought 2020 was going to bring something exciting to my life. After a few shitty years (shitty as in nothing really good ever happens to me. Nothing horrendous but nothing good either) I had really high hopes, more so than the usual New Year hopes of any other year.

Now 2020 can get in the bin, so far.

I can't get my brand new cooker delivered and connected. I was so looking forward to a nice new clean induction hob, and a working oven

I have to go shopping. I hate shopping DH can't drive, we live rurally so walking is not an option. This mean I have to go and do it myself. I'm a grown woman and know that its not hard. I just dont want to.

DH did have his theory booked in April and we had saved enough money for him to do an intensive course (he has had some lessons, but we wanted to just get it done now rather than keep buying lessons after lessons after lessons etc) so this too will have to wait.

Parkrun and races.

Ds2's rugby team were through to the county cup final. All the family were coming up to watch the match in April...now the season has been cancelled it will never get played.
