Life's little disappointments?

[IsChippyMintonExDirectory]

Today I had a Krispy Kreme donut for the first time. Bleurgh. £1.25 of mediocre-ness. I thought it would be a little slice of heaven.

Also disappointing:
Lukewarm baths when you know that no amount of adding hot water will make it hot enough
The cherry blossom tree in the front garden refusing to blossom with the rest of the street
Not fitting into your pre-baby clothes despite being back to your pre-baby weight (stupid widened hips!)
When you order a curry or sticky toffee pudding and it has the nerve to contain raisins.

Any more?

Ooh and being hungry but not finding anything you want to eat!

thinking morning sickness is finally over, ordering lovely take away, enjoying it, then feeling sick/throwing up again.

I know how to make really chewy meringue!
you need to add a small amount of vinegar to mixture.

try it marmalade, it will be lovely!

most of mine have already been posted, but:

going food shopping and finding that something you usually buy is on special offer, but it's such a good offer that it's all gone and you have to buy a different brand this usually happens with butter/spread!

Buying something bargainous from a charity shop and finding out at home it really should have gone in the bin, not the charity shop.

Tops for me which turn out smelly or too short.

Bought a Boden dress for my 5 yo, a knitted, lovely coloured pink dream, only to discover after the wash, that it should have been hand washed (ffs) and is shedding hair like crazy. DD can't wear it because I don't want her to breathe in all the fluff.

Also, finding out after 2 years of ideal weight that a crap job can pull me back into bad eating habits and I end up overweight with zero job satisfaction. Bugger. Actually, that is not quite a little but a giant disappointment.

Thanks zing I will try that!

The Wall of People who come in late on high holidays, and stand up during the whole of Mass, right in front of those of us who got there early enough to sit on the pews along the side of the church.

Oh, and fishy tea.

Pears that go:

rock hard
rock hard
rock hard
rotten

without ever passing through 'ripe'.

Yes to discovering the escaped sock when you've just set the machine going.

Deciding to have a bath and relax whilst heavily pregnant, only to discover that far too much of you now sticks out of the water for it to be pleasant.

Reaching into the cupboard to find all the cucumber gin gone & only a bottle of cooking brandy left.

Fucking bastarding walnuts in my lovely soft ginormous slice of carrot cake!

Mixed peel and/or nuts in fruit cake

Stalks still attached to raisins and sultanas. Or seeds

Over cooking an egg so the yolk is set and not runny

Ordering food in a group at a restaurant and everyone gets their food and yours is going to take longer or when it comes it doesn't look as appetising as everyone else's

Always carrying an umbrella in your bag and pulling it out on the one day it rains

watery tomatoes, woolly pears/apples, bitter plums etc.

Good call Zing especially when you think how gorgeous a perfect tomato, apple, pear, or plum can be

PS not quite the same but you just inspired me to make myself a yummy cheesy omelette for lunch choco - with nice gooey centre

I think all of mine have been said on here.

Non runny poached eggs
Not paying attention when eating and reaching in to your sandwich box to find you've already eaten the 2nd half
Pret discontinuing my favourite salad

I was also disappointed by Krispy Kreme doughnuts, just pure sugar. It gave me a headache and I was expecting something amazing.

Looking forward to a glass of wine and its lukewarm

Getting allocated Wimbledon tickets that are on a day you can't go

A nice-looking avocado that turns out to be mostly stone and a few black bits of mush held together with stringy bits. Leaving you with about a cubic centimetre of edible flesh.

When I get frustrated that Dh and the kids are languishing inside on a sunny day, insist we go out, and by the time I persuade them and get everyone ready, it's turned rainy and I end up trying to jolly along grumpy people who wish they were at home.

Vicki I have done that and the worst bit is you are trying to be Little Miss Jolly "come on lets enjoy the outdoors" because you dont want to admit that you wish you were at home and they had been right all along :o

Precious What, none at all? The flavour is in the gravy!

That is possibly the weirdest thing ever!

Sweetcorn in tuna mayo
Sweetcorn on pizza
Sweetcorn in salads
Sweetcorn in pasta dishes
Sweetcorn in sweetcorn

Hard avocados

A boring book

Defo agree on the sweet corn hell.

Vegetable pizza.

Or more specifically, being invited round to a friends for a girlie night with wine and pizza only to be presented with some peppered, corgetted, brocolli'd monstrosity.

I love veggies, dont get me wrong. With a roast dinner I will have no meat and double veg. My favourite meal is cauli and brocolli cheese. I love veg.

But not on pizza, its as wrong as low fat chips and alcohol free wine!

Bogey

that veg pizza must have been traumatic for you.
