Tonight i had a bath with a glass of wine and a bowl of peanuts. I knocked the peanuts into the bath and spent the rest of my time in the water fishing them out.

Heartily disappointed. You?

@Artinsurance thank you!

More spices Meh, use the gin in a cocktail, and keep the jigsaw for yourself Smile

I only had one potato left to go in my veggie curry (had left the one in case I got the urge for a jacket potato).

But it was OK really - had loads of other random veg.

DH forgot to do my birthday cake despite me hiding upstairs to give him and DD ample opportunity.

I'm disappointed in myself.
I was definitely going for a walk with the dc today and I was going to be invigorated by the fresh air and be really productive and get lots done. I was also going to cook a roast chicken.

The dc have spent the whole day in pj's and I've spent the day on the sofa mostly scrolling Facebook and Mumsnet and we had chicken nuggets and chips for tea Blush

I'm a disappointment Blush
Never mind I'll try again tomorrow

Not so lighthearted but I found one of my rescue chickens dead tonight. She was an ex battery hen and the loveliest of creatures. I am quite sad indeed, I also have no chocolate and not enough wine for this situation Wine

Bought pop up pirate for dd2. Its blatantly obvious which holes are the triggers. I feel cheated.

PaulaPennyfeather · 28/03/2020 22:32

Everyone‘s panic bought all the Campari, the bastards

Knowhowufeel2 · 28/03/2020 23:01

Really fancied some sesame snaps as a treat, only to find out I'd eaten the last pack about 3 weeks ago and hadn't gotten around to buying any more.
I'm gutted.SadHmm

Artinsurance · 29/03/2020 08:13

I hope you found an alternative Knowhow. Make sure the Sesame Snaps go on the shopping list for next time.

No halloumi 😭

Artinsurance · 29/03/2020 08:14

Not just the Campari Paula. I don't think I've ever had one though so it wasn't me Smile What's an alternative.

Are the triggers obvious to your daughter though Janaih?

That's very sad Mulberry. They have very distinct personalities, don't they. Be glad you gave her the opportunity to live a happy life Thanks

I'm never quite sure what clock to believe when the clocks change Lord Smile

My disappointment was also peanut related, as in i fancied some but had noneSad. Is it worse to have had them and lost them OP.

Artinsurance · 29/03/2020 08:28

A bit of cheddar just doesn't cut it as an alternative Ohffs. Make sure it's on the shopping list for next time Thanks

No. Tennyson said, "'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." I believe he was alluding to peanuts.

Artinsurance · 29/03/2020 08:31

Well Fork, I'd had a few so the craving was sated (but I was obviously very disappointed by the situation). I'd say your situation is worse and I feel for you. Get them on the shopping list Smile

OP posts:
Artinsurance · 29/03/2020 08:36

Smokey Robinson expressed similar sentiments about honey Demelza. My feelings on the matter may be tempered by the fact that it was a sizeable bowl and I'd had quite a few before said incident Smile
