I’ll start. An owl is hooting, and keeping me awake. We just moved to the edge of town a few weeks ago - we literally look out over fields & woods - and I’ve never heard an owl at night before. It’s nice, but a bit distracting.

My smoke alarm is intermittently beeping and I don't know how to fix it, I tried to take the cover off but failed. I'm pathetic

My washing machine is on its last legs.

I have just opened a twin pack of Belgian buns and half of the icing is stuck to the film.
Am I allowed to lick it off?

Im going to eat toast shortly........big fat slices. I have Dundee marmalade, cherry conserve, chocolate spread AND peanut butter. If i disturb the dogs they'll wake DH and he might want some. Bugger.

I am all snuggled in bed apart from cold feet. I can't sleep with socks on though.

MinnieMountain · 16/03/2020 06:31

I really want crumpets for breakfast but there are 3 left and DH likes them too.

Balls. Wrote long reply to everyone & it got lost. And now (on the desktop site there is a chuffing great big advert covering half the screen of my tiny phone. I switched to desktop mode as strike through is suddenly not working on my iPhone. Any idea why, @MNHQ? If I attempt a strikeththrough, it looks like —this—

Only if you do it in the crook of your elbow Grin

The way that Every. Single. Restaurant. puts truffle oil in their mushroom risotto.

My cat has been napping on me for so long I have a dead leg.

ShirleyPhallus · 16/03/2020 10:31

My baby is due any day now and I am getting a bit impatient for him / her to arrive. Hurry up pls baby.

AlCalavicci · 16/03/2020 20:36

@FairyBatman
the delay in replying was caused by me tying my self in knots trying to like the crook of my elbow

I can't reach my toenails to paint them any more - is it my age or my belly (or both?)

Thatbloodybear · 16/03/2020 21:31

I've got a weird crush on my pilates teacher and it's very distracting.

bubblesforlife · 16/03/2020 21:32

I want to get a wax, but can't....

TinklyLittleLaugh · 16/03/2020 21:58

DH has just poured me a much too big glass of delicious red wine. I shall have to absolutely guzzle it down, to drink it all before bed time.

Been avoiding red wine for years as I think it gives me migraines. But if I’m going to be stuck at home anyway, what the hell...

soupforbrains · 16/03/2020 22:00

I put my wine in the freezer to chill it down nice and quick and now it’s a bit too cold...

Muminabun · 16/03/2020 22:07

I really do need to get off my arse and groom my Pomeranian tomorrow

RedRed9 · 16/03/2020 22:11

I’m so cosy in bed but DP’s coming now too and I don’t want to share it.

Weird in what way @Thatbloodybear

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 16/03/2020 22:12

DH has come home 2 weeks early... But I have a new DVD I haven't had a chance to watch.

Thelnebriati · 16/03/2020 22:44

AgentProvocateur I don't believe its even truffles in the truffle oil, I'm 99% sure its asafoetida.

AgentProvocateur · 17/03/2020 08:57

@theinrbriati, I think you’re right. I like actual truffle (which I’ve only had once) but the oil just smells like a gas leak to me. 😂
