DS2 is very advanced physically...means he's in a toddler bed at 18m and up a different bit of furniture every time I take my eyes off him for a minute...is that the sort of problem you meant?

I’ve got to go on lots of staycations recently. I said to my dh “I’m so fed up of having to pack a suitcase”. He had zero sympathy 😂😆
I would love your issue of losing an extra kg!! Good for you 💕

I managed to get abroad and have a cracking tan - now my expensive foundation is too pale for my skin

Confused Surely staycations do not require packing?

I'm growing out my lock down crazed shaved head and albeit only midway to getting back to what it was, I have realised the length it's now got to is rather lovely on me. I am suitably cross at this disruption to my plan.

My dc have been a delight, I've barely seen them today apart from supplying regular drinks and ice pops to the neighbourhood kids. Theve been out all day and still out now playing nicely on the green. Chilled mam, happy kids x

I'm going to miss my dc when my parents take them away for 4 days next week. I'll survive it though I'm sure.

Veuvelily · 03/08/2021 21:22

My pool is massively behind schedule and will have to cancel the garden activities we had planned for next week.

Ofkosyoucan · 03/08/2021 21:39

A glass of wine to drown all your sorrows.

My DC are at my parents for 8 nights so I am all by myself! I have to call them or I don't think I would hear from them at all!

ladygindiva · 03/08/2021 22:08

I'm bored of the selection of decent pinot noir under a tenner at tescos. There's only two I like. I have to travel further to aldi if I want a different one.

ILoveAnOwl · 03/08/2021 22:12

I've got so many bottles of gin, the selection no longer fits on top of the specified gin table.

TheDogsMother · 03/08/2021 22:13

We're off to the Cotswolds for a couple of days tomorrow but I don't know where we should stop for a leisurely lunch. It's a worry

Puppy was a bit off -colour, now she's better and very very naughty.

Mankyfruitbowl · 03/08/2021 22:16

Nice life problems, is this the new term for a humblebrag? Grin

Like a school mum who posts on Facebook that her little bookworm borrows PILES of books from the library and they're so heavy to carry home!

AmandaHoldensLips · 03/08/2021 22:34

I was unable to finish the delicious Indian takeaway so have had to put it in the fridge ready to have for brunch tomorrow. And we all know how horrible curry is in the late morning. Grin

I showed the teenagers how satisfying it Is to peel off a bit of wallpaper and they’re now competitive wallpaper stripping the whole hall stairs and landing at 10.30 at night. Its practically done!

GlitterDragon · 03/08/2021 22:47

Went to a garden centre today, got 6 beautiful plants.. but there’s not actually any room left in the garden to plant them.

Ofkosyoucan · 03/08/2021 23:05

@Mankyfruitbowl - of course

Genius! I love it!

I have so many mangoes and starfruit in my fruit bowl that I've got a bit of an ant problem.

sparechange · 04/08/2021 09:07

My new kitchen is a week behind for the installation, so that's ANOTHER week of having to eat out at the really lovely cafe at the end of the road

WonderingFree · 04/08/2021 09:14

I work for myself and have taken August off. So far I haven’t been able to get on with clearing out my clutter because I’m too busy relaxing.

Same! Although I'm blaming my kids 🤣

M&S didn't have any humous in stock yesterday so I had to go to Waitrose for it, which was irksome.
