I'll start.
Our newer car, which I usually drive, has a button to stop/start the engine. have to press brake before operating it but that's it.

When I drive the older car I keep forgetting to release handbrake. 🙄
Woe me!

Our freezer got left open and now I have to eat a massive tub of homemade raspberry coulis

We have 3 toilets and only one toilet roll (until I get to the shop later). The kids keep forgetting and are calling me to bring the roll to them.

I forgot to move a bottle of wine from the garage to the fridge this morning. So now I will have to have a glass of wine with an ice cube in it to cool it down 😬

Its been so hot that my candles in my outside lanterns have begun to melt.

My favourite dildo just died. It's rechargeable but I think I've now depleted its full power 🥺

Sparklebelle1024 · 20/07/2021 18:03

My PT session tomorrow is a bit later and will therefore be hotter

@30degreesandmeltinghere

I hadn't realised fence paint was so watery and my white strapless bra is Oak Brown!! Dripped down my top and is absolutely everywhere! Blush Looks like some odd recipe for home brewed fake tan! Grin
How the hell did you manage that?

I have woodsttained acres of wood in my life and never done worse than a few drips on my t-shirt.

The baba ganoush I was looking forward to is past its use by date

@MyFloorIsLava

DH failed to buy mint to go in the tzatziki I am supposed to make to go with tonight's lamb kebabs.
But tzatziki does not need mint! Every Greek I know is looking aghastSmile

I have only got normal factor 50 sun cream to put on my 3 year old tommorow, not the “once” one for kids that’s meant to last 8 hours that the Pre school have suggested to the parents 😞

@thistimelastweek

On winter mornings my pearls are really chilly when I put them on.
I love that!

I got a new bigger couch and now my throws are too small 😅😏

ladymuck111 · 20/07/2021 18:33

My newly manicured nails have broken, well a couple of them have. They were looking so nice and long and sparkly. Now they look awful

@Mummyford

My Tesla app wouldn't connect so I was unable to start the aircon before getting in the car
Thanks for this, I don't think I'll buy a Tesla then! Can't risk it.

I left my sunhat in our other house.

FizzyPink · 20/07/2021 18:39

Tesco delivered my chilled prawns frozen on Sunday and I wasn’t sure they were safe to eat so I threw them away.
They were supposed to be for today’s lunch so instead I saved leftovers from dinner last night. When I opened the Tupperware at lunchtime today there was a dead fly amongst the chicken Envy

RealHousewifeofBarnardCastle · 20/07/2021 18:40

Ocado had no delivery slots so I had to have a Waitrose delivery today instead

RealHousewifeofBarnardCastle · 20/07/2021 18:41

My daughter is embarrassed to bring her friends to our house as it’s “too big”

@MrsDThomas I have the exact same issue witn M&S bras. Also, that the wire going under the arm is too far back, almost into my armpit, regardless of what size I try on!

Back to Primark for me, too!

30degreesandmeltinghere · 20/07/2021 18:59
