Come and share your minor grievances…

[OutDamnedSpot]

It’s day 1 of half term here. I roped the kids into a big spring clean of the house (cue: lots of moaning), changed all the beds, dug out the dirty clothes from under beds… then discovered the washing machine isn’t working. Grrrrrrrr!

What minor grievances have ruined your day?

I have a small bin in the bathroom that I keep there for used sanitary pads / tampon wrappers, that I don’t wish to carry through the house in front of others.

Husband is apparently incapable emptying this bin, which is fine, but what is not fine is he continually fills it with eg one giant bottle of shampoo. So everytime I need to use the bin it’s already full of something stupid that should have been carried downstairs to the recycling bin.

I was advised on here to buy my favourite brand of coffee if they have a decaffeinated version. I've done this and it's better than the crap I'd purchased

Genius! Or else let DH polish it off…

Someone nicked my rollator from a communal hallway BUT this morning a kind stranger brought me another
I live in a town mocked here for being " rough"( Wiltshire)
My faith in humanity is restored

Dishwasher needs emptying.
School blazers need collecting from the dry cleaners
Dog needs walking
3 loads of washing are on the utility room floor waiting to be done.
Daughter's new boyfriend coming for Sunday dinner and I'd like the place to be tidy.

DH is currently up a ladder fixing a bit of slightly broken guttering. I mean... it needs doing, but why now?

My fitness class had a different rubbish instructor. It's something I really look forward to because I enjoy it, and it makes me feel good, and sets me up for the week. I've been really down all day.

My lovely soft Ikea sheet (that they NO LONGER SELL, the fuckers) has had a tiny hole for ages. I caught the fecking thing today while making the bed and have ripped a massive six inch hole. Its right in the middle too, so it's properly ruined.

But if anyone is selling Gaspa sheets, any size, any colour, I'd take your hand off for them!

My kids thought it would be funny to put my bottle of newly bought and really needed RED wine in the freezer.
They are all grounded till their 20's.

@Silvergone my DH does this. Is normally sensible about stuff but whenever I go to use bathroom bin it's full of one massive bit of packaging that I then have to take out and disentangle from the used floss and clumps of drain hair underneath 🙄

Mine is that a few days ago I was so anxious about seeing the dentist I chewed a huge ulcer into my lip without even noticing, and now even though it really hurts I can't stop chewing it.
