Re: Things you are not good at.
I couldn't plaster a wall if my life depended on it. I tried once and made an appalling mess of it. Never ever again.Public speaking - even after making so many presentations over the years, it still gives me the colly wobbles just thinking about it. I'm great talking to a few people in a group training session but, an audience of over 100 - er - no thank you, not any more.

That discussion about your living room was great fun, SF.
Lord, me too. The only talent I have is determination. Typically everything I undertake is initially a disaster, but I am not thwarted and just keep trying....:lol:
I just keep trying too.

I'm useless at cooking. Just haven't got the patience to put a meal together. Not a fan of takeaways, so I would probably starve, if it was for the boss putting up some really good nosh. Probably why I can't stand those incessant cookery programmes!

I'm not good at letting people finish their sentences. Its a terrible habit which I am sure annoys everyone to heck, but I always try and talk them into getting to the point! I can't abide a long winded story .Just say what you have to say, and lets move on!

Re: Things you are not good at.
Although l like watching it, I have always been rubbish at sport. Probably because most sports were played on cold days, or you got your ankles smashed with a hockey stick.I did learn to swim when l was 30 as l hated the water when l was younger. I did swim a width once and that was it!
I am really rubbish at ten pin bowling and if l score two pins down, that’s about it!!

Re: Things you are not good at.
I am hopeless at organising my time. I make all sorts of plans for the day, then sit browsing the internet (OFF, Facebook etc.), make another cuppa (I'm very good at procrastination
). Eventually I wander into my sewing room, look through all the fabrics and patterns and dither over which to make a start on. I waste half the day like this - before I know it, it's lunchtime and I've achieved nothing. Then I remember that I've some eggs that need using up so I really should make a cake, and off I go into the kitchen.My life is full of random meanderings like this. But tomorrow, I shall be organised.....

Re: Things you are not good at.
If you list things you feel you're not good at, it would imply that there're others that you think you are actually good at? Really "good at" or just capable of doing them at all, I wonder?As for me, I'm certainly capable of doing some things at all like grocery shopping. But would I be good at it in the sense of being able to do something better than other people? I'd say no. I don't have any natural talents or capabilities that I could have used to make a living. I just managed to muddle through life, tbh.
