What's a first world problem stressing you out today?

Asda was due to arrive at 12. It came at 11:45. Had to answer the door dripping wet in a dressing gown!

What's irritating you today?

I never got to eat all my fruit that gets delivered to my work weekly so I'm
Going to have to carry home 5 bananas and a melon 🙄

We have to replace the roof on the lovely house we own free and clear and it's going to cost a lot of money.

We had to replace the four skylights too. I never knew they were so bloody expensive.

Did the skylights break or something? Shock

I went for a job interview and I really want it but they said they will likely decide by Friday so I have to wait to find out if I got it.

DS1 can make Beaver camp night because it’s the first night of cricket club and he has to be there to register (he’s desperate to play cricket but peaved that there’s a clash).

DelurkingAJ · 21/03/2019 12:51

Can’t make it even Blush

My landlord very efficiently got the side gate fixed after it blew off in last week's storm but the new gate is unpainted and doesn't match the rest of the fencing so I'll need to paint it.

And my puppy has conjunctivitis which is making him whiny and clingy.

Did the skylights break or something?

No, they started leaking when it rained. They were original to the house, so over 30 years old. It turned out that most of the water was from the roof leaking and the water running down the outside of plywood shaft from the ceiling to the roof.

They were the kind that opened with a crank operated by a pole, a feature that we never used and the new ones are all of one piece and don't open, so they are less prone to leaking. We have sliding glass doors across one whole side of the house, so we just open a few of those if we want to air out the house.

I’ve just scarfed a bag of Worcester sauce french fries too quick and now my mouth’s burning.

Ragwort · 21/03/2019 17:17

Delurking is your cricket club hugely over subscribed? I’m involved with a cricket club (& Beavers Grin) & we would always try to work round a clash like that.... esp. if you offer to help occasionally Wink.

I booked my taxi home from work to pick me up at 4pm. He didn't turn up until 4:45 and I'm STILL not home. Taxi driver is moaning all the way (it's a disability account service so I really rely on them).

SurgeHopper · 21/03/2019 17:23

Skylights are the worst thing. We had them sealed up, new roof, cost a fortune.

KatyaZamolodchikova · 21/03/2019 17:25

I have a financial advisor coming this evening to the house but I don’t have any tea bags & don’t want to go to the shop. I’m very worried because I can’t not offer a drink, but also don’t want to admit I don’t have tea.

BlueMerchant · 21/03/2019 17:30

I forgot to pick up a new book whilst in town. I have been looking forward to getting it. I now have nothing to read in bed tonight.

IHaveBrilloHair · 21/03/2019 17:31

I can't find the lids for my Le Creuset soup bowls.

BitchQueen90 · 21/03/2019 17:33

I want to book next year's holiday and I can't decide where to go. Biggest first world problem ever but I hate feeling disorganised.

Furrytoebean · 21/03/2019 17:33

I’m getting my hair done at a new salon next week and they’ve patch tested me and now I can’t wash my hair for 48 hours and I feel like a scruff.

spaniorita · 21/03/2019 17:41

There are no tea bags in this house, and what's worse, I forgot my PIN number for my debit card, and I've now blocked the card and waiting for a new pin to arrive. So I can't even nip out for tea bags. Life can be so cruel! Sad

Magmatic80 · 21/03/2019 17:44

Just noticed DP used one of the guest towels yesterday for swimming, and we have 6 visitors arriving in 4 hours. I did all the washing yesterday to avoid having any laying about when all the bedrooms will be full, so now I can’t wash the towel as it’s the only thing dirty. Aargh.

I had etiquette anxiety over whether to get in the front or backseat of an Uber

I'm struggling to find a hotel in Venice as there are too many to choose from.

As I woke up sweaty last night is it time to wear shorts not pyjamas in bed

Petalflowers · 21/03/2019 17:52

Had my ears syringed today. Felt nervous before hand (fine now).
