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!

You need one of those freezers like Jim Carrey Had in ‘The Dead Pool’

My cleaner's on holiday next week and I'm gonna have to clean my own house.
My cleaner resigned - there is no end in sight Sad

My DP had a sudden urge to go to the toilet.
As soon as he left the room, our toddler done an explosive 💩 … i suspect he smelled it and made a bid to do a runner .. once i cleaned DS he wondered through with a cuppa tea … hmmmm!!!! He had the right idea it was awful 😂

My phone doesn't keep its charge any more.

I bought 3 types of wine: one for now and 2 for Christmas. I can't decide which one to have now.

I can't find anything to watch on Apple Tv

@KarlMaldensNose good gracious! Who knew! Thanks for that :)

The brilliant woman who does my eyebrows is on maternity leave and her replacement has made them unneven.

Cleaner here!! Have taken on gardening!! Much better job option in this weather!!

I want another iPad

My air conditioning unit is too loud.

@QueenofDestruction

My pool is not blue enough which means it is on the turn to green .. despite the pool guy coming 2 days ago.
Chuck in some more chlorine. It needs a shock.

It will be because it's been hot, the sun causes it to disintegrate. There is a technical term, I just can't think of it now.

We’re back from our holiday and I have to do clothes washing, worse than that I have to unpack.

I thought DP was being a little frisky earlier in the utility room as I bent over to unload the washing machine, I was bent over and I felt my skirt being lifted a bit and his cold hand... I laughed coquettishly and turned to find my German shepherd standing there and no DP

this has made me laugh so much Grin

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 20/07/2021 22:30

the ceiling fan is making me cold but I'm too tired to get up and switch it off

@MrsDThomas

My underwire is poking into my boob. Usually wear Primark bras with no problem. But had to get new ones last year and got them From M&S.

Back to Primark!

I have recently discovered primark non wired bras, so comfy!

@spotcheck

Brace yourselves.....

Our WiFi is out

This is truly awful, I’m so sorry

I only have semi skimmed milk, but I want full fat to have with my Coco Pops, otherwise it's just not the same.

Shannith · 20/07/2021 23:18

I had to move my dressage lessons to next week as DD is rebelling about going to the yard 4 times this week. Our riding holiday last week tired her out.

Maggiesfarm · 21/07/2021 09:39

Do I order a full breakfast and latte from Just Eat or Deliveroo?

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 21/07/2021 09:41

@Maggiesfarm

I hate the Just Eat ads so I reckon Deliveroo

I left my washing out all night (which has got darked on and has spider willies all over it) because I had too much wine in a pub garden listening to live music yesterday.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 21/07/2021 09:52

I've just called the delivery guy "darling" 🤣 and I can't decide if it's a 1st world problem or not

Boyfriend has taken my 7 series today which is my favourite car. It leaves me deciding whether to use the Mini Cooper Clubman or the Land Rover Discovery 😂😂😂

All my courgette plants germinated, I can't bear to thin them out so I'll have to eat (or give away) hundreds of courgettes this summer.
