To ask for your first world problems....

Tickets are on sale Mon morning for an act I have wanted to see for 20 years, actually in my city!!! 8am sale so I could get up extra early have kids stuff done etc.. but I just remembered Mon is the day I booked a carpet cleaner and have to bring my dog to a dog day care as she will be terrified of the man and machine, she gets diarrhoea when stressed, which is why I have booked the carpet cleaner in the first place after a year of 'accidents'. The one bloody morning, I never organise anything for the morning. I won't have time to drop the dog and be back for 8.

My husband gave me a £5k budget to buy a treat this weekend and I don't know what to buy. 🫣

I'm worrying about how I'm going to have time tomorrow to do my elderly mothers grocery shopping, clean the house from top to bottom including stripping and changing the bed and get all the laundry up to date. I then need to pack and get to bed by 9.00pm as we have an early start on Sunday due to going to the Canaries for a weeks holiday. All this is my own fault as I spent today shopping and dining out in the West End with lovely adult DD number 3 when in fact I should have cracked on with some of the jobs and given myself a head start.

There is an event on locally which I think the kids will love (bonfire, fairground rides, fireworks etc). But I couldn't justify the cost of tickets - £60 for a family of 4.

DH has been working this week at what turns out to be the organisers house, he's given us free tickets. But now the weather is looking shit, and I don't know if I want to spend tomorrow afternoon/evening in a muddy field with 2 kids, who will inevitably moan that they are cold/wet despite me being prepared with coats, gloves, hats etc.

I'm not sure if DH has told the kids about it yet, I'm inclined to give the tickets away if the weather forecast doesn't pick up 🙈

Obviously, since a lot of people have already posted.

Mine is the best and it's been a problem since I lived in the Middle East and had a " maid", now in considerably reduced circumstances (😂) and my cleaner of twice a month does the same- winds the cord so tight round my hair dryer that when I go to dry my hair this annoying twizzly cord pings on me and just makes the experience AWFUL.

Irony being that now this annoys me more than the fact the cleaner today ( very accidentally) smashed my iPad. I got over that quickly. But I went to blow dry my hair and had residual, pent up rage.

It's the small things that get a 1st world woman I guess .

Goodness! Are we still using the term “first world”

DC's sport event on Sunday has just been cancelled so we thought we'd go out for a pub lunch. Our two favourite places for Sunday lunch are fully booked. Do we try somewhere new, go somewhere we have been before but isn't as good or come up with an entirely different plan for the day?

@ADHDGURL I had planned to get drunk on Bailey's and Vodka....

Is this Bailey's and vodka together, separately or one after the other #askingforafriend #butImayneedtotryit!

Rain is forecast for much of the day tomorrow and I know Ddogs will not want to go out so a day on the sofa (under a fleecy blanket) is scheduled for us all. Ddog2 has just got a snuggle-sack which she LOVES so my 1st world problem is this..........
Does Ddog2 spend the day under the fleecy blanket with Ddog1 and myself or do I let her stay IN her snuggle-sack OUTSIDE the blanket?

I bought some brioche hot dog rolls... and was saving them for this weekend but realised that they expired soon after purchase :-( and I have run out of ciabatta. I think I might die of bread withdrawal.

Don't think it would be creamy enough. And taste too much of coffee. Might try Malibu with Kahlua... that could work

Have jet lag after returning from a 5 star, all inclusive holiday in Mexico. 🤣🤪

I noticed today that my heated steering wheel has a cold patch on the right hand side. Sigh.

@ADHDGURL instead of (or as well as) Baileys, try vanilla vodka mixed with Kahlua. It's like a grown-up version of Baileys. Someone on here recommended it a few years ago.

My wordle and connections weren't working earlier.

We ran out of the nice coffee beans, so have just had to fill the machine with some normal ones. I am already feeling despondent about tomorrow morning's cup of slightly sub par coffee

Sainsburys delivery was late so I was late meeting friends at the local pub. That's quite first world.

I need to get out of my warm bed to fetch my kindle from downstairs. Earlier I spilt coffee granules on my worktop which went everywhere . Its been a taxing evening…

Took the ponies in the school to do some ppe work and tried leading them rather than long reining (being broken to ride)

They were very confused as they normally only get led in from the field and did not understand us wanting them to go faster and do little jumps at all.

Had to long rein them instead. Took 3 hours instead of 1 and I swear we looked like this for most of it (both actually experienced but today...dreadful!)

My favourite singer did an Instagram live today and I missed it 😢

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.

My car broke down because its a piece of crap and the seller has disappeared so now I can't go to Mass.

I have serious problems I could actually moan about so the first one seems tame in comparison, this is quite cathartic.

Me too. 😔

My label maker has stopped working.
