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!

When I put sunscreen on, the fingerprint sensor on my phone doesn't recognise my fingerprint so I have to actually type my pin (and remember my passwords), until I wash my hands.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 21/07/2021 10:18

I had to park my car on the road (not on drive) so it's in the shade.

I'm not happy with my facial spf, they changed the formula and it's too greasy. I need a more lightweight one.

Also I really want to like iced coffee but I find it weird.

I need to find someone reliable to do my garden.

My preferred brand of vegan butter is not available so they are sending me a substitute in my grocery delivery tomorrow.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 21/07/2021 10:25

@Teenytinyratsass

changing formulas is so so disappointing.
I don't know what happened to Pombears but they taste really greasy & too salty now.

And I get the want to like things but don't.
I want to like marshmallows, prawns, steak & certain cuisines like sushi or thai curries. but I just can't 🤢🤮

I forgot to add granola and yogurt to my shop yesterday so now I've got to wait until next week. Not sure what to have for breakfast at work until then.

@BluebellsareBlue

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
I once shouted “you can give it a spank if you like” to my very shocked husky when I was washing my hair over the bath.

I'm taking DC2 out for a very belated birthday treat on Saturday. She has chosen to eat at Hawksmoor, even though we only went there 4 weeks ago and I'd rather somewhere different.

on regular school days DS5 & DD finish 10 mins apart (they leave from different gates of same school so need time to walk round).

but today they break up early, at the same, which means DS5 will have to wait for a few minutes

@PyjamaFan

I left my sunhat in our other house.
Love that!

@ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba

I never claimed to be hot! Grin

And don't worry, I'm sure the delivery person has been called much worse. For what it's worth, I call my Magyar piano teacher "darling" all the time. He doesn't seem to mind.

I got stuck in the hammock earlier army drink was half full and I had no where to put it down without spilling it. So I had to stay in the hammock for another 10mins finishing my drink.

AutistGoth · 21/07/2021 17:16

First world problem du jour, our lovely city apartment is currently like an oven. No garden, no balcony, nothing. Just a hot box - which makes me a hot mess.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 21/07/2021 17:47

@Aroundtheworldin80moves I want one of your army drinks! Grin

Today's specific first world problem is that the dog is hogging the chaise longue and cooling fan.

Hen2018 · 21/07/2021 18:02

My hollyhocks are 3 metres tall and I’m worried the rain forecast for the weekend will knock the flowers off.

countdowntonap · 21/07/2021 18:11

I really want to go and lounge by the outdoor pool at the spa, but I can’t be bothered to do the 5 min drive in this heat.

Clawdy · 21/07/2021 18:41

We are having the Co-op cheaper coleslaw with our salad meal tonight, because they sold out of their nice dearer one.

Happylittlethoughts · 21/07/2021 19:06

My new phone wouldn't download my WhatsApp Chats from previous phone number . Probably a good thing

Chimboo · 21/07/2021 19:25

I have nowhere to store my paddleboard, and an owl kept me awake last night 😂

00100001 · 21/07/2021 19:47

I made too much pulled pork, and now I have to box it and freeze it for another day.

midsomermurderess · 21/07/2021 19:49

I live in the east coast of Scotland and it's too bloody hot. Where's the haar when you need it.

catfunk · 21/07/2021 19:51

My Apple Watch keeps buzzing me to get up and move around. Wish it would fuck off.

Ideasplease322 · 21/07/2021 20:23

My robo vacuum cleaner scares my cat so I feel guilty using it.
