I'm rubbish at...
What things, despite enthusiasm, practise, them seeming easy to everyone else etc are you just plain awful at?
For me:
Sewing. I just cannot sew. I don't have the patience and try to cut corners where it's not okay to cut corners. I get bored after a few stitches and find things like threading a needle fiddly and tedious!
Baking. I can cook - quite well in fact (I think), but I struggle with baking. Even packet mixes tend to go somewhat awry. They usually taste okay, but they look awful. We just made some packet mix brownies and I used the wrong size baking tray and they look like some sort of swamp. They smell lovely but I would never serve them in polite company.
Your turn!

Sewing here too! Can't sew to save mt life! At school - the classroom asistant did all my sewing!
Gardening - Rubbish at this too - also allergic to most grass! Get bitten the second I go out to weed or pick up fruit! Get weird allergies and rashes when weeding! Hayfever flares up! And I can't keep flowers alive!

Re: I'm rubbish at...
I'm terrible at maths.......can't add up/subtract in my head to save my life!
I can't play a musical instrument either!
Am rubbish at recycling and could do much better.
Also I can't run to save my life.....well I can run but am so not a runner and have very little stamina for it too!
However I can sew, bake, cook from scratch (when I can be bothered), kick box and spinning so it's not all bad!!

Re: I'm rubbish at...
I'm awful at just generally being organised! I forget stuff all the time, I'm late, my desk at work is a shambles - I keep telling myself it's just the side effect of a creative mind!
