Please cheer me up with your first world problems (light hearted)

[listsandbudgets]

I'm self isolating with a cold (as far as you can when you have kids who keep wanting to see you)... so entertain me... this thread is light hearted please so exaggerate them all you like Only on day 2 and ready to cry

I'll start

I am very distressed, in fact utterly distraught because Gousto have just emailed me to say they can't get enough balsamic vinegar to go with my recipes so they're sending me red wine vinegar instead... my world is ruined.

I’ve run out of artisan salt and rye flour

I thought the half loaf i bought wasjust less slices no it is actually teeny tiny bread

We’re running out of amaretto for our hot chocolates.

Dh has opened his last 750g tub of lurpak.

The Lush website is closed until they clear orders and I can’t buy the shower bombs I want ☹️

I could only get own-brand tonic water

Oh yes, we’re down to the last serving of president spreadable butter for my DH (I prefer Lurpak).

When I went to the farm shop to pick up bread and milk, they had organic cab sauv or nero d'avola on offer. I bought the nero but slightly regretting

It took me a bit longer than I would have liked to find the Clarks Twins Trust discount code when I was buying my toddlers new shoes for spring. I felt a bit frustrated

The avocados I was saving for breakfast today (it's sunday, fancy breakfast day) have gone too squashy to be any use. And now I can't have any more because there are none left anywhere in the world.

I can't get the builder round to sort the gate that keeps blowing open in the wind because the latch is broken. We've had to prop it closed with a bin

Oh no Pearsmorgan what will you do.. you'll have to resort to down market salt and flour and your diet will never be the same again....

Mrsjavy... no even enough space for the lovely jam you can't buy on that tiny pesky slice of bread,

ninanink do you have any baileys ... improvise woman these are hard times...

fluffycloud77 we've also run out of lurpak and can't get more and we are eating anchor and its just not the same I feel your pain

thewitchwithnoname we're in lock down now...what do you expect...try some nice old fashioned bath salts instead

My eyebrows need threading!

I can’t get my dog groomed (not a euphemism) nor a pedicure for myself. Dog and I both look shocking!

No bath, only a shower. And I thought this was a lighthearted thread

ltgreggs What no fevertree ... no sweppes... drink that gin neat.. don't go wasting your hard earned cash on own brand

ninkanink president... yummy will look out for it next time I'm in the shops ... whenever that may be...

johnnymcgrathsaysfuckoff I dont drink wine (is it wine you're talking about) if its that bad stick it in a bolognaise or something

fudgebrownie2019 make guacamole and be grateful of it

sallylovescheese nail it shut you don't need to go out anyway - no where to go

It’s my dog’s 4th birthday today and we were going to take him to a local National Trust property for a walk and buy him a sausage from the cafe but now we can’t.

He’s being very good about the whole thing, brave little soldier that he is.

@FudgeBrownie2019 That is terrible, I’m so sorry.

lalalalallama in that case let them eat cake

nonamenogame Get the kids to thread your eyebrows - nice bit of home learning for them

kaftankeen The dog will look lovely with its natural shaggy look and so will you... let nature take its course

thewitchwithnoname sorry I misread that.. I'm afraid in that case you'll have to resort to shower gel :(

My husband let the kids eat my twirls on their walk this morning whilst I was at work! I'm only eating chocolate on Sundays!!

DH has just discovered there isn't any smoked salmon to go with his poached eggs.

don’t worry about it lists. I’ll be checking the Lush website daily though

ringgirl the social isolation only applies to humans... tie an envelope with money and a note explaining its his birthday and send him to the butchers

elf1985 only one thing for it... I'm sorry about this in the middle of lockdown as its a bit inconvenient LTB...

MaggieFS Normally I'd say send him fishing but since he can't do that at the moment give him eggs benedict instead (I assume you have ham!)

I've run out of my shampoo and the salon has closed until further notice

It's my birthday next week and the only present I have is from my husbands ex-wife!
