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..😟

That I had to cancel my birthday party, I booked it for last weekend as dh took me away for my actual birthday in February.

It was my 30th too 😢

My fringe is already too long, I dare not try trim it myself.

I feel really sad that I've had to tell most of my family about my first pregnancy by phone or text

I'd been doing really well on my diet since January and now I'm stressed and wanting to eat everything in sight.

I am also gutted about my nails and eyebrows.
Also I am REALLY gutted if dd doesn't go back into year 1. Her year 1 teachers have been nothing short of amazing.

I liked my work trips. Peaceful evenings and supermarket salads.

I was supposed to be moving to the house of my dreams after being in temp accommodation but it's been suspended so I'm a bit sad x

I’m worried about lots of serious things

Dd getting it & me as I’m immunosuppressed

But like pp having to clean my own house. Well I’m disabled so I pay someone to come twice a week to do it. Now I’m going to be barking orders to dh & dc & they won’t do it properly or as well. If I could I would but I can’t

(Whispers) my new kitchen wont be going in and Casualty isnt on on Saturday.

I'm also going to have to clean my own house for first time ever. While pregnant.

I was made redundant 6 months ago and although I got another job money was really tight for a couple of months. Things were on the up and just after Christmas we booked our first holiday for 2 years, a week in June in the Canaries, we desperately need a break.
It's unlikely we'll be going as it is in less than 12 weeks and whilst it's not the end of the world we've been so stressed out I'm gutted we're not going to have our holiday.

I’m on maternity leave and due back to work soon. I was looking forward to going back (p/t) and ds going to nursery with other children, but now it’s looking like I’ll either not be going back or will be working from home. I just want some adult conversation!

I keep my so hair short that six weeks growth is noticable.

My hair grows so fast that it needs cutting once a month.

It's overdue by 7 weeks now and is growing luxuriously bouffant.

By the time any local hairdresser is open for bookings, I'll look like Milton Jones.

Hair cut and colour. What am I going to look like? I have been working on setting up a little side kicker business for weeks. Was supposed to launch it before the end of March. Sigh. Have a trip to Nepal arranged in September. Doubt that will be happening.

Honestly? Avert your eyes if easily offended but....

I'm a single lady with certain... needs which are currently not being fulfilled that ordinarily would have been

DH can work from home. I'm spending my days trying to keep our DC quiet while he's working while lots of my friends are having lovely family time, learning new instruments, redecorating...

I'm gutted that my first Mother's Day was quite frankly shite. I did nothing on my birthday and if it carries on my little ones first birthday will be nothing as well

I had some lovely days out planned; hair cut and blow dry, afternoon tea and theatre trip.

I know it’s petty, I’m worried about my job and my health but they were nice distractions.

Glastonbury festival been every year possible this century. Kids are sad too. Also do voluntary work in a local prison, can't do that for the foreseeable.

Thank you so much to all of you for your replies.
Don’t feel so alone now and heartfelt wishes to you all x

I have been quite good at keeping my chin up until I found out our local village fete had been cancelled. I had, of course been totally expecting it but just seeing it written down made me cry. First world problem

I'm upset I won't be able to do any 'last hurrah' meet ups with friends before my son is born. I'm much more upset I probably won't see my mum and dad for months and they won't be able to give him newborn cuddles. I know this is very small in the grand scheme of things, I just wish things were different.

We have a static caravan ,just paid £1,000 for the first half of the site fees . No idea if and when we will get to use it before the next £1,000 is due in June 😕

I’m gutted that my DS has missed the opportunity to sit his GCSEs and that he’s missed all the milestones that go with leaving high school. He, on the other hand, isn’t fazed.

On the upside I’ve been growing my hair out. It used to be shortish but is now past my chin. A ponytail might be achievable by the time we get out of this.

@whiteroseredrose I think you should be able to claim on insurance, as we're in lockdown, so nothing you could do about going even though Iceland remains open. Definitely fight for it! And rebook when this all passes :) enjoy it when you get there!
