Sorry to grumble but... OMG... can I go back to bed?

It's my day off so thought I'd deal with lots of things but....

Decided to make an apple sauce to cook pork in - no apples - decided to improvise and use apple juice only to discover someone drunk everything but tiniest drip and left container in fridge

Went to collect prescription - wasn't there - GP insists it's gone to chemist, chemist insists they dont have it

Lost ONE slipper (looking at you listsandbudgets Puppy)

Hoover broke ordered new part it came today and does not fit so resorted to sweeping sitting room - it's a disgraceful state - now I can't find dustpan

Gas bill arrived - I'm now in shock rewriting my lists and budgets and turning heating down and cutting time on it yet again

The cat has lost her collar AGAIN!

Recycling went this morning but just discovered that we (dp) forgot to put out the cardboad so we have a huge pile

There's a hole in my favourite sock

My MIL who I love dearly and has dementia has phoned 3 times this morning to ask about my plans for Christmas - I know it's not her fault and I shouldn't be irritated but we've had the same conversation each time.

Actually, my whole year seems to have been filled with irritating little problems so far. I keep thinking 'next month will be better' - nope.

Sorry to hear about your DM - in the same boat with my DF.

Yes!
Got caught in horrendous traffic. Got to destination then when I had finished shopping there was a power cut in town, causing massive queues at car park pay stations.
On way home pulled my handbrake on too hard at lights on a hill and couldn't get it off, causing a tailback behind me!
Was very glad to get home.

Had to trot around for an hour this morning in a snowstorm to put notices on doors due to coworker illness, couldn’t get other task done because arse of a man can’t be bothered to answer emails, can’t join yoga studio (which I need for the whole getting angry thing!) because other gym won’t confirm my cancellation and I can’t afford two monthly fees, did someone a favour only to get told off for using my personal email to do it, still on my period… I’m opening a bottle of wine.
