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 Grin 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 can’t work out with my PT twice a week.

I’m concerned about my Ddogs mental health... She has about 5 hrs to herself a day while I’m at work, she has her crate (no door on it) a huge fluffy dogs bed and various bones, toys and chews to play with while I’m out.
Since I’m on furlough from work, and we only go for walks at anti-social times to avoid people, she’s getting no ‘me time’ We are together 24/7, and to be honest, she’s looking a bit fed-up with it. She feels obliged to follow me everywhere, even to the loo or shower, so she’s not getting her 5 hrs un-interrupted sleep every day!
I’m sure if she could slam a door, she would!
She’s getting decent food and treats and lies next to me watching tv, but there’s a distinct air of ‘are you still here?’ emitting from her!
I massage her, groom her and give her shocking amounts of cuddles.... but it’s not enough. Should I just roam the streets for 5 hrs to give her some normality?

My roots are a disgrace. Things have been tight so my DH was paying for me to get them done after Mother's Day from DS. My appointment was booked for last Saturday 😤😩

Livpool · 29/03/2020 19:43

Oh and my eyebrows need threading...could I use my epilator?! 🤔

Not me, but the vair vair middle class lady in waitrose car park virtually screamed "this is utterly Re-dic-you-lus" at security because he told her she had to queue to get in and it was a 15 min wait.

I have just burnt the potatoes. No mash for us! Really shouldn't spend so much time on my phone! Cleaning the saucepan will be fun!

Spied · 29/03/2020 19:47

I need to get some shopping. I'm going to have to get up at 7:30 for my key-worker slot or I'll be stood in a huge queue for hours.
It's my day off!!!
I MUST go as I've run out of chocolate spread.

I wanted to put pecans in my banana bread, but DH raided the cupboard the other day and ate them!

lucysmam · 29/03/2020 19:48

I ran out of my lovely Molton Brown shower gel . I thought I had a spare...I didn't

I had to use Tesco's own & now I don't smell like Turkish Delight 😪😪

HappyStripper · 29/03/2020 20:00

I’m pretty good on food and have some lovely foster kittens to keep me company... BUT... the filming of the next season of Handmaid’s Tale has been postponed due to this and I really can’t be dealing with that right now.

I need some dystopian telly to keep things feeling normal Sad

Now if this was a Cat you'd get the reply ...

Can't find my gardening gloves, they're not in their usual drawer in the utility room. I may have to venture into the Shed of Doom to check if they're there.

AnotherEmma · 29/03/2020 20:41

"the filming of the next season of Handmaid’s Tale has been postponed"

Lovelydovey · 29/03/2020 21:49

I’ve run out of food waste bags - having to use old newspaper...

Lovelydovey · 29/03/2020 21:51

@Spied - the supermarkets here seem to be busier in the set aside slots than later in the day. I went at 3.30 last Thursday - queue of less than 10 to get in (1 in, 1 out) and the shelves were well stocked with only a few items missing.

SofiaAmes · 29/03/2020 21:52

The teenagers in my house have consumed all my Nutella and I can't get more delivered for a whole 5 days.

NumberMonkey · 29/03/2020 21:53

I’ve just run out of tonic Sad

Ninkanink · 29/03/2020 22:00

I have tonic but no gin. Sad Sad

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 29/03/2020 22:00

My lovely new Kipling handbag should be winging its way but I have nowhere to actually use the bloody thing .
I don't take a handbag to work . And I;m not scheduled to go anywhere (hopefully the Sainsbury delivery is all in order)

Wewearpinkonwednesdays · 29/03/2020 22:01

I can't decide what to spend my last £15 amazon voucher on. Its terribly distressing knowing its just sitting there with no purpose.
