Things you are not good at.

Hi

Do you have a list, does it annoy you or are you jealous of others?

Some have a natural talent , some are multi talented.

We have some very talented people on here who seem to have a natural knack for things.

Anything design and practical is my downfall.

I could not have a colour scheme like summer or a garden like Pauline.

Neither the inside or outside of my house looks like that.

Re: Things you are not good at.

I, too, am rubbish at design. I worked in construction for 45 years and could build anything using a plan, but I could never come up with the plan as I have zero imagination.

I also gave absolutely no musical or artistic talent and I am envious beyond belief of anyone that has...

Not sure why you are putting yourself down.

I saw a picture of your sitting room a while back.....taste and style....a beautiful room.

You are also academic ,my son is as well....I’m not, but, I’m not jealous of that gift....I just don’t have it.

Hi

A great answer, I feel the same.

I am also jealous of you, because you can do practical things.

My skills are very esoteric and of little practical use in real life.

Barry, didn’t you post a pic of the summerhouse you built?

Or am I mistaken?

Things you are not good at.
Most things I can do many things, spending a lot of time alone and with a shortage of cash I have had to 'get on with it' but that doesn't make me good at them.

I am particularly bad at maths, remembering numbers, reversing the car and relationships with other humans.

Hi

I am not.

I will post a photo of a little corner of my garden, about the size of yours and you will see what I mean about design.

It is rubbish compared to your corner.

As far as the living room is concerned, look back at the comments of the ladies on here on my curtains and sofa, which I have since changed. Blush:

Things you are not good at.
Public speaking.

Being in a large group of people, making conversation. Preferring small groups or 1 to 1 chats.

Managing people. I'm my own boss.

Re: Things you are not good at.

Hi

Public Speaking is not an issue for me, not even being on TV or Radio.

Chatting up a lady always has been.

I am useless at it.
