Having a bad day and no-one to moan to...

...so just wanted to moan on here.
Before anyone starts I know I'm lucky as I have my health and my children do too. I'm not suffering from abuse of any kind so I know I should be and am grateful for this but I've had one of those days and I have no-one to share it with. I've tried getting on with several chores and diy jobs and they've all gone wrong in some way. It doesn't help that my period has started which always makes me emotional and despondent. I'm now just sat here feeling really deflated.
I started the day feeling really upbeat , I began by sorting my wardrobe out, made lovely piles all over my bed of winter things that need to be packed away and summer clothes that need hanging. I'd soaked my oven and racks with Ovenpride last night - used it for years , never had a problem with it and was ,sadly I know, looking forward to having a gleaming oven. I then used some grout whitener in my bathroom thinking I'd have lovely sparkling white grout making my bathroom look fresher.
So all was going well until the person who was supposed to be picking my son up from a party forgot so I ended up having to dash mid grout whitening and pick him up. No biggie, got back to continue grout whitening ,which was rubbish and not really whitening my grout, but while doing around the toilet I kept feeling drips on my hand and discovered a pipe is leaking.Tried tightening anything that looked like it could be tightened, made no difference. So wrapped plumbers tape around every join - still no difference. Its only a small drip every now and then but it seems to have started a downward trend.I then went downstairs to finish the oven and found that today the Ovenpride bag had decided to split and I've got brown gloop all over my worktop. Now Ive just had my online food shop and everything I needed for the next couple of days was substituted with rubbish substitutions! Silly I know but I just want to cry and now I've remembered that I didn't finish sorting my clothes so my bed is covered in sorted piles of clothing that I now can't be bothered to do so will end up chucking it on the floor and having to do it again tomorrow.
If anyone has bothered to read this , thank you - I just wanted to get it off my chest. I thought I'd feel better but I don't.

Just one of those days m'duck.

Get yourself a drink of something nice and switch off for the day.

One of those days?!!!
I've just bloody dropped a pizza - in my just cleaned oven!!!!
Part of me thinks it's funny but a bigger part of me is bloody pissed off and am having to stop myself bawling my eyes out!

Sounds like one compared to my recent litany of chaos.

The pizza dripping was an angst too far though... Retire to bed and hope tomorrow is better Flowers

Sorry to hear you've had a rubbish day Thanks
Don't mean to thread hijack but how do I get the grout in my bathroom tiles white again?!

Thanks for the flowers!
Next instalment - one of my kids then dropped their pizza on the living room carpet!
But I am feeling a teeny tiny bit less tearful now. But still got to tackle the piles of clothes on my bed!
