Shit week at work.
2 buses didn't show up.
Ran 2 errands out of my way.
Got home, took off my wet clothes and put on nice cosy warm things.
Opened the fridge.
No milk Angry Angry Angry

Yep. It's shit. It really is.

I developed lactose intolerance last year. Now that's really shit!

But honestly black tea and black coffee is actually nice. I never like it before but when it meant that I didn't feel stupidly ill and sick all day after having milk I got to like it. Black tea is one of the best hot drinks ever!

I'd beg a neighbour for a mug of milk.

Yes, it is. And somewhat linked to your username Grin

I don't know my neighbours at all. Resolved to drink wine instead!

I adore tea too :( There's something incredibly satisfying about that home time cup of tea as well

I always keep a carton of UHT in the cupboard for this reason!

And I have 4 idiot teenagers who never tell me when we’re about to run out whilst they shovel down four bowls of cereal each...

Yes! So am I!

And blimey, yes it's crap and shit and farty! But it's great that we have this now and not ten years ago. We have lactose free milk, cream and yoghurt. Vegan cheese, ice cream including Magnums, and desserts.

I know it doesn't all taste that great - apart from the Vegan Magnums, which taste amazing - but it's better than nothing!

I’d have just been reaching for wine....

Who finished the milk? They need to fetch you milk forthwith!

I now have a milkman to avoid just such situations. There is always milk to the extent that I often insist on pancakes for supper to reduce milk levels!

Ah, you've had a shit week like mine followed by a shit Friday. You're not alone.

I got up late. Rushed out without so much as a drop of coffee or a crumb of breakfast. Battled through traffic to get DS to school and me to work on time.

Had a v. long day at work, where I felt shockingly ill, and my phone died so I couldn't ask DH to pick DS up from school instead of me.

Battled to find a parking space outside DSs school.

DSs teacher was 10mins late letting them out, so that was an extra 10mins shivering in the cold waiting.

DS came out and said "I have a letter in my bag for you, you're in trouble for forgetting to send me in with my PE kit.

Got in, went for my first coffee of the day. No chuffin milk!

Ordered a takeaway. Ordered a big fat chicken burger with all the trimmings, and chips. I got a odd-looking dry lone chicken breast chucked in a dry tortilla wrap and some very questionable soggy weird chips.

Despite going dry for January, my shit takeaway broke the camels back. I went to pour myself a nice big double g&t. NO FUCKING TONIC!

Headed instead for a hot bath, alone. DS threw a huge tantrum as his Firestick crashed, so DH sent him to brush his teeth and go to bed. Cue DS barging in on my 'relaxing' bath constantly to brush teeth, go for a wee, blow runny nose, crying to me that daddy is mean.

Today has been a complete write off! AngrySad

OneMoreRound you've truly had an utterly crappy day.

Who finished the milk?
I did. I have only myself to blame :(

PS. I echo a stash of a couple of cartons of UHT milk. I call this 'emergency milk' for such catastrophes as not having fridge fresh milk. However, I've even fucked that up and don't even have emergency milk as back up Sad

sqirrelfriends · 10/01/2020 20:51

I always keep a carton of that vile uht stuff for this very occasion. It breaks my heart every time.

minesagin37 · 10/01/2020 21:11

We have a milkman. We may run out of other stuff but never milk!

sonjadog · 10/01/2020 21:52

I feel the same but about dog biscuits.

AdaColeman · 10/01/2020 22:01

Always keep a carton or two of long life milk in the larder, it’s rescued many a breakfast here!
