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 made both sauces for lasagne but then realised I only 4 lasagne sheets left. Had to break cannelloni tubes to make a layer so only had 2 layers of pasta

It's ok honey never goes off.

Ocado substituted my Sipsmith gin with Tanqueray

mrsjavy I am sure your neighbour is very loney but she has to learn not to and her family need to stop doing this.. Phone her and have a chat so she doesn't feel so lonely. Sounds very hard. I think we're all a bit anxious at the moment. Its selfish of them though, we all want to see our famlies but we can't carry on as normal just now :(

Someone's left all the bounty mini chocolates and eaten the snickers.

phantomerik it will still taste lovely... you deserve a prize for improvising as well I'd have just given up

mumsiedarlinggrevolta drink it anyway, drink enough quickly enough and you'll soon forget there was ever a difference

soapisyourfriend That's dispicable. Don't replace the chocolates instead next time you're taking your daily stipend of exercise go alone, buy a multipack of snickers and hide them under the mattress... do not let on to anyone that you have them

I've run out of loose leaf Assam tea & only have the tea bags left

@JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff I love Nero d'avolo. Swap you for an organic red or uncertain origin (I can't be bothered to get up and look)

We’ve run out of ice cream and my next click and collect isn’t until Wednesday. I’m also 30 weeks pregnant, if my DH, DM and toddler survive this then it shows I’ve grown an an adult

She isn't elderly she has a couple of her children still at home they are just visiting as normal !

The head of one of my diplodocus cake has fallen off. The other diplodocus, the 2 t-rexes, and 2 stegosaurus are all intact.

Would it be bloodthirsty to arrange them so the t-rexes are eating the broken diplodocus, complete with red icing? It's my 7yos Birthday cake....

That’s an awesome idea and your 7 yr old will probably think it’s the coolest thing ever!

I bought shampoo and washing up liquid from the weigh and save / no plastic shop. I didn't put stickers on them and used old bottles so now I don't know if I'm washing my hair in washing up liquid or not and I can't pop back to check.

Phantomerik cut your teabags open put the leaves into the pot and pretend

amymel2016 No icecream... and you're pregnant... have you got some yogurt you can freeze instead?

I have too much skyr to fit in my fridge :(

Mrsjavy in that case my symptahy has dissipated, she's foolish and irresponsible and I hope the police get her

aroundtheworldin80moves yes do exactly that then put a photo on here

tinselvesparkleplants I shouldn't worry too much its all soapy stuff and anyway if this carries on we'll all be using fairy liquid for our hair regardless

DH 'got involved' with organising the fridge and threw away a nearly full jar of caramelised onion chutney that I expensively buy from the butchers. Fucker.

That bastard Jamie Oliver did a recipe for risotto. I love risotto. I had forgotten how much I love it. Cannot get risotto rice anywhere only those packets of microwaveable rice. Oh and really fancying chips. Chip shop shut. . I haven't room for frozen chips in my little freezer box. Cannot get potatoes to make my own either!

I can’t ride my lovely horse, yard owner told to shut yard. Horses are well looked after and his young rider is riding all of them.

@tinselvestsparklepants that's very funny (soz for your, obvs). Does the washing up liquid produce bigger bubbles than the shampoo?

@MrsBobDylan I would actually LTB for that.

(Well, I wouldn’t. But I’d definitely go into the bin and fish out the jar. That’s just such a ridiculous waste.)

I have rewatched "Line of Duty" (even Series 1 which wasn't my favourite )

DH is watching "Spooks" but IT ISN'T THE SAME

Stamps feet

I can't decide which trainers to buy, I could really do with seeing them in the shop! Bad times...

@Ninkanink he threw it in the black bin outside, which has a maggot colony and industrial levels of bin juice in, otherwise I would. It just feels personal y'know? I think our marriage is over.
