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?

Leaving for a mini break on Sunday and attempting to fit a mani/pedicure in but just can’t come up with a workable time

Have a gorgeous new Laura Ashley duvet for spring but can’t decide if it’s springy enough to put on bed

Ten fucking hours of constant bleeping from a malfunctioning alarm panel.

The entertainment in our all inclusive holiday resort in an exotic location is too loud and slightly out of tune. Also I've eaten too much at the bbq of fresh seafood and salad and am now feeling sleepy...

I don't know what to order for lunch (DH is taking me out to cheer me up after crappy week).

MustBeAWeasly · 24/03/2019 10:52

My husbands away, the baby is napping and I can't decide what to watch on netflix 😳

I’ve got to go out for lunch
I went out for lunch yesterday and I’ve got to eat out tomorrow as well

I got the kids tickets to see a show they'd love in the theatre (and I want to see it too). We're in the upper circle practically touching the ceiling and I have terrible vertigo.
Feeling a bit better now most of the seats in front are being filled - it would be harder to roll over four rows of kids before tumbling off the balcony, right? Only 2 hours of gripping the armrest to go...

I ordered the new Apple AirPods with the wireless charging case and the Apple website is saying This item will take longer than usual to ship, so I won't get them until sometime next week.

Shortandsweet96 · 24/03/2019 11:05

I cant find a bird bath and feeder that I like to go on our new driveway.

Morgan12 · 24/03/2019 11:06

The headset ain't working on the downstairs ps4.

Having to plan 4 year olds birthday party, have a job interview Monday and writing summative assignments/exam prep.

I’m over two weeks into my holiday in a hot country
Still got half a week to go
My feet and legs still swell up with the heat
I wear myself out wondering what I would do if I lived here permanently
( I’m not moving here permanently)

DiscoDown · 24/03/2019 11:20

I can't work out if the socks I'm wearing have shrunk or are actually my DS's and so too small. It's taking up far too much headspace.

TarquinGyrfalcon · 24/03/2019 11:27

My mum is taking us out for Sunday lunch today. This means I have to get out of bed and dressed in the next forty minutes.

WarpedGalaxy · 24/03/2019 11:29

MissConductUS I feel your first-world pain. It’s worse for me though, I bought Apple AirPods 4 weeks ago and if I’d waited I’d have gotten the wireless charging case included for only $40 more, now I’ll have to pay $80 for a wireless charging case. Plus they now have black AirPods and I would have loved black AirPods. It’s not faiiiir!

In other woes, I have to go to the supermarket today and I can’t decide whether to go the one that has the cheese I like or the one that does the really good pasta salad - they’re equidistant from my house but in opposite directions!

IsAStormApporaching · 24/03/2019 11:34

My toaster.
We either end up with warm bread or charcoal. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground Confused

SimonJT · 24/03/2019 11:39

I left a tissue in the pocket of some black trousers, currently trying to pick it off an entire load of washing.

thecatneuterer · 24/03/2019 11:54

I went to stock up on Primark long sleeve t shirts yesterday. They have always been a great staple. Cotton and lycra mix, great fit, and good quality despite the very cheap price.

But they've changed them! They are now cotton and viscose mix, and are very long and need to be bunched up or I look like I'm wearing a dress, and even the xxs is now too big. I'm distraught I tell you.

lucysmam · 24/03/2019 12:16

I have dropped, and broken, the unicorn smarties Easter egg I've just walked to and from Asda to buy for dd2. I don't know whether to go back for an unbroken one or swapsie with my egg (when I buy it) and risk a funny look at the slightly damaged box Confused

IJustLostTheGame · 24/03/2019 12:21

I keep forgetting to set the bread maker going.

Pret a manger have added avocado to nearly everything.
I hate avocado.

WTFIsAGleepglorp · 24/03/2019 12:29

M&S can't seem to bring themselves to sell 3/4 length sleeve t-shirts.

I'm short and chubby of limb and would like to cover up the bingo wings whilst able to see my hands.

Plenty of capped sleeve, 1/2 sleeve and long sleeves, but no 3/4 sleeve, V neck, plain, cotton t-shirts.

I'm scouring charity shops wherever I find the time.

WendyCope · 24/03/2019 12:41

I ordered DD a Waitrose chocolate Avocado for Easter and it is lost in the post/stuck in Madrid going nowhere.

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 24/03/2019 13:03

Two weeks ago I bought, at vast expense*, a new 2 metre USB micro B cable for DW's phone. Now she has a new phone which takes USB-C, and she wants yet another 2 metre cable because the old one is incompatible.

*£9.99.

AmIthatbloodycold · 24/03/2019 13:12

It's not raining which means I have no excuse not to go and start tidying the garden

I can't be arsed
