Because I have cut my thumb, opening some catfood, and it really, really, really hurts

I think I can manage without going to the emergency department though, but I am going to moan for quite a long time 😁

Mine is ridiculous. The mcdonalds I drive past when travelling a 160 mile round trip to take my teen DD to her flying lessons is closed. No egg mcmuffin for me, to soften the blow of the cost of said lessons.....

Also put too much line cordial in my gin and now it's too sweet

My favourite MAC lipstick is running out, I can't find it anywhere so I think it must have been discontinued.

I bought a particular pink gin as part of my online shopping and it was out of stock. Was not paying over £26 for run of the mill Gordon's. How had the price gone up so much?!

Dh went to collect a takeaway curry but it’s busy, he’s been gone ages and im
hungry.

And my heated blanket has made me too hot🤣

mambojambodothetango · 04/11/2023 18:43

Still hungover from fun dinner with one set of friends last night but have guests arriving for dinner tonight. Trying to decide whether to do 'hair of the dog', or... actually DH just poured me a sherry so there we are.

The time slot I wanted for the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam has sold out, so I will have to get up earlier as they only have first thing in the morning available.

I haven't got enough Boursin to go on my crackers! Dairylea is not the same!

PlimplePlop · 04/11/2023 18:18

I'm on a very nice mini break and have used the log burner and now I'm too hot and my rosacea has flared up.

GingerLiberalFeminist · 04/11/2023 18:16

My robovac needs charging before it can hoover the floor so I have to wait to sit and watch it work while I have a cup of tea.

Projectme · 04/11/2023 17:58

My DH poured me a glass of wine, forgot to bring it into the lounge from the kitchen, sat down on sofa with cat on his lap so I have to now get up, walk to the kitchen to get my wine. Can't displace beloved cat. 😤

I’m going away for the weekend tomorrow and the leather jacket I want to wear in the evening will make my bag too heavy to carry round till we can check into the hotel.

😂😂😂 I'd say you win with this!

My brain is on the brink of explosion, trying to complete a 15,000 word dissertation alongside parenting a 3 year old.

Super lucky to have my child and to be able to continue my university studies, but it is HARD.

I can’t find the belt for my dressing gown. It really annoys me

Maybe order curtain cord with tassels (Amazon?). They'll probably arrive before you find your dressing gown cord. 🌹

Oooh snap @EspressoMacchiato. The rain has just stopped here too Sad

AntonFeckoff · 04/11/2023 13:32

I’m lying in the bath but the lavender and geranium bath salts didn’t dissolve properly so they’re digging into my arse.

EspressoMacchiato · 04/11/2023 13:29

It’s lashing rain here today so I thought I’d treat myself to a bubble bath. The bathroom window is velux so the ASMR of the rain is really relaxing. I’ve run the bath and sat back with the latest Strike novel and my new candle lit and the rain has stopped 😞

StonwEd · 04/11/2023 13:25

I’m on my third day of a 5 day trip to Barcelona. I love it so much here I’m already sad about leaving on Monday 😌
I’ve been here before as well 😅

RosesAndHellebores · 04/11/2023 13:20

Contemplating whether to spend £35 in M&S for the Christmas beauty adventure box which has two things in it, full size, that I really like but don't particularly need and weighing it against having a heap of sh1t. £35 would go on stuff I don't really need but is good to have: pyjamas for dd, tights, bedsocks, wrapping paper, etc.

Meanwhile I am in a not hot enough bubble bath because for some unfathomable reason the hot water has run out.

HelpingJands · 04/11/2023 13:14

I ordered grated cheese on my supermarket delivery and received a block of cheese as a substitution. So now I'll have to grate it myself.

JackGrealishsCalves · 04/11/2023 13:06

I want a new nest of wooden tables for my living room that are not self assembely without having to pay the price of a 3rd world debt!

My Pilates class has been cancelled for the foreseeable future.
