What has been your biggest failure today?

[Bearthewear]

Failed to get the bus on-time.

Trying to hold in a fart in front of teenage son and his pal. Failed noisily

Trying to organise a post lockdown birthday with rule of 6.....

Had second Pfizer jab and felt so rough that I have shuffled around with aches and pains cooking but otherwise not listening to my teens - no energy today at all - total failure :/

Trusted my daughter (2) when she did a stinky fart and she said she didn't need the loo. Sigh.

Didn't realise my shoe had a hole in it and it started pissing it down on the walk to work so my sock got soaked. Had no other shoes to change into.

Failed to muster the energy to clean my very dusty bedroom. I managed to hoover the stairs then gave up. Have just done 6 12hr shifts in 7 days so the absolute bare minimum of housework has been done and the whole house has a not so fine layer of dust covering every surface.

I have eczema and asthma that are triggered by dust so have been itchy and wheezy all day but too bloody shattered to do anything about it.

I am also currently failing to dye my hair but that's been a daily fail for a solid six weeks now so I'm not sure it really counts any more.

Start a diet today definitely did not start a diet today 😢

Dropped a glass. Smashed it. Ten minutes later dropped a cup (one of the good ones). Smashed it.

Did basically sod all for most of the day.

Stepped in dog shit at the beach (fail #1). Decided to dip my feet in the sea to wash it off. Forgot that doc marten boots are not waterproof - sea water flooded in through the eyelets. Spend the rest of the walk with soggy tights inside my boots (fail #2).

Later, put a wash on a really long cycle. Realised a few minutes too late that I'd forgotten to add any detergent. Clothes now having a really long rinse (fail #3)

Took my eyes off my son 2 for no longer than 30 seconds and he'd got my eyeshadow palette and smushed it all over the floor and his face
And again tonight! Went to the kitchen to get some baby wipes came back to trifle all over my sofa... I just need sleep now 😅

Got a dead leg on a work call and fell over in the kitchen.

I was going to calmly assert in my yearly work review how the role I was brought in for hasn't panned out as expected.

I ended up saying that the last year has been a complete waste of my time.

I said I feel though, which I'm hoping lessened the sting

Failed to get an answer to why my walls are still damp despite paying thousands to have them fixed

Lost my rag whilst volunteering at the vaccination centre. Stood in the wind and rain for 5 hours and someone had a go at me because the wind blew over a sign which meant they got lost. Of course that was my fault! Lets say I didn't take it lying down!

Didn't get up in time to walk 2 miles before work. For the 248th day in a row

Fitbit says I used about 1750 calories but I suspect I ate a lot closer to 2150. Too much chocolate consumption when there's lots of lovely fruit to eat instead.

I'm with @Sunnyday321. Try again tomorrow.

Accidentally ate the Easter eggs.

That sounds very stressful Parky ... I think my biggest failure is that I am struggling to fill my days constructively - I am on furlough and find it very tedious (yes, I know I am lucky etc etc and I am 99% positive that I have a job to return to & have been given the date etc). I just try and think what I have achieved today - a walk, coffee with a friend, two loads of washing, endless hours on Mumsnet, chat with elderly DPs, haven't got the energy or inclination to watch tv or a film ... may read a bit of a new library book ... just killing time before bath and bed.

Chocolate. Chocolate has been my biggest failure.

Sat here contemplating that no one needs a packet of Maltesers, half a Toblerone, half a Galaxy Ripple and half a Lindt stick (important to distinguish it was a stick, not a bar ) in one day, wondering if I have a problem or whether it's lockdown. I just ran a conversation with my doctor through my head and decided Can't Stop Eating Chocolate probably isn't a medical condition. Then wondering if I would have to become heavily overweight in order to stop.

I then ate two sticks of celery to make up for it.

Accidentally ate the Easter eggs.

We are in the same club!

I too ate an Easter egg.
And broke my ecig
Hey Ho 😞

half a Toblerone, half a Galaxy Ripple and half a Lindt stick (important to distinguish it was a stick, not a bar hmm) in one day, wondering if I have a problem

I'm intrigued...did you just leave the other halves until tomorrow?

Same as @Sunnyday321 and @WisestIsShe it started so well then I missed lunch and ended up hoofing down 2 hot cross buns ........ with butter
