Life's little disappointments

Along with the inevitability of the annual tin of biscuits which my parents used to receive each Christmas from my great aunt I would now rank the fact that the cup of tea on my bedside table, alas neglected while I finished the crossword, is now cold sad

Just after my first child was born a couple of friends were due to visit us; I didn't know them very well but I was quite taken with them, they seemed very avant garde and fascinating. For some reason they couldn't come over. I can still feel the disappointment which is strange cause I've always been a tad anti social [more from shyness than anything].

My next door neighbour won £100,000 from Ernie

Chocolate bars have got smaller.

Flowers no longer come in bunches of a dozen.

The post doesn't come early.

It used to hurt when I laughed, now I just hurt.

I have to wear flat shoes now, loved my heels.

I just had a cheque from Ernie for £25 - disappointed it wasn't £25,000, but at least it wasn't nothing!

Please to hear that someone does win the bigger prizes, Galen; perhaps they'll have a party!
