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.

Yes I would feel the same...sad times.

Before lockdown I was going to buy myself a new mid season coat for spring, but obviously can't now. It's too warm for my winter coat but too cold for my light summer jacket, which is also too tight to wear a jumper underneath.

The beautiful mango cheesecake that we're having for dessert tonight isn't going to make itself.

My eyebrows were due to be microbladed (top up) and I was due a haircut. All last week.

I look shocking now and I'm a keyworker. As if elderly people weren't scared enough right now

I forgot to put my lovely chocolate away last night and my bastard dog ate it. The wrappers were all over his bed. He clearly had no shame. Good job he’s a big dog and it wasn’t enough to make him sick, that would have been the final straw.

I'm running out of parmesan.

I have decreed we are now at Defcon1 because I've run out of ........ Aperol

The lemon meringue pie is still in the freezer and won't defrost in time for tea so we are having ice cream instead but I do have some lemon curd in the cupboard

@MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig My boss's dog once ate an entire box of quality street while she was at work. Thankfully dog was fine but had lots of sparkly poos for a week or so

Mid season coat, mango cheesecake, eyebrows, chocolate...devastating #thenrealcostofcorona

I reached the bottom of the laundry basket earlier and triumphantly hung it out on the line in the morning sunshine. It's pissed down ever since

I have HORRIFIC heart burn and no milk or gaviscon. My chest as burning

*is. Obviously. Bloody phone.

@Princessfaffalot Have you got any bicarb you can mix with water?

I do actually, will that help? How much? I’m struggling with even just water. I know it sound petty but it really hurts

My son cut a wedge out of his fringe because he said it was getting in his eyes, and we can't get to a barber's to sort it out. He's going to look awful in the Instagram #homeschooling #lockdown #cherishthistime photos 😭

I found a long hair on my chin😳

Not CV related, but I have two mugs, one says 'his' and one says 'hers'. My husband keeps using the 'hers' one and giving me the 'his' one 😂absolutely outrageous! 😂

I've run out of polish. I'm finally doing a proper spring clean (actually moving furniture and everything) and now I can't polish.

I also use Anchor in a no Lurpak emergency. Clearly not the same but in these difficult times, one must do one's bit.

I also have an increasingly shaggy cockapoo, meant to get her hair done this week 😶.

Sitting smugly with my shaved cockapoo and lurpack stash!!!

However, I've run out of dips for my crisps, I'm o to my last 4 squares of 'posh' chocolate and we have no meringues for dessert to go with the raspberries.

I no gravy granules, my eyebrows are hairy and my snacks are running out.

We have run out of capers. It’s a disaster.

We were unable to get our usual artisan granary loaf so are eating sliced white bread. My mother would be appalled. On the plus side, my DCs love it.

I haven't got the Sunday Times or Telegraph and am taking a moral stance on not subscribing to their online editions because I think they should take the paywalls down for the duration.*

Missing both crosswords and the Telegraph's quizzes (only reason we get it - rubbish otherwise) badly.

Much more of this and DH and I will have to have a conversation or something
