This morning i for some reason put 2 sugars in my coffee instead of one, and now its undrinkable, tastes awful, all i can taste is sugar.

This has clearly ruined my day, because now i have no coffee and have to wait to get another.

What tiny thing going wrong has ruined a day of yours? (lets keep it lighthearted)

Freshly laundered jeans. Nightmare to get them on and so stiff and uncomfortable to walk in.

The kids finished the milk at breakfast before I could have a cup of tea. Clearly my day is ruined! (Yes I did just pop to the shop for more milk but still I had to get dressed to do that 😩 )

The cat licked my toast so I now can’t eat it and it was the last of the bread.

You can certainly eat that toast!!!

I was ordering a few things from Boots and 2 of them disappeared from my basket as out of stock while I was going through the checkout process - then it made me put my payment details in a second time for the new amount...

I wish this was my only problem today :(

@Rosa1211 excellent comeback though......i hope there was a very large chunk in his piece x

And now in the process of hanging out my washing I just dropped half the white load on the muddy grass.

I did a shop in marks and spencer, popped down to Charlotte Tillbury and then drive home leaving the trolley full of M and S food in the mall. It's an hour each way and it's raining (in ME) meaning every mad driver has come our to celebrate. I don't know whether to go back or not but I can't stop thinking about crumpets...

I was in an online meeting scheduled to finish at 11. We were discussing some really interesting points when the meeting went “poof” at 11:10…
Still peed off hours later.

My husband keeps talking to me about random stuff I simply couldn't give a damn about 💩🙉

FussyPud · 11/10/2024 14:20

I tripped and jolted my good knee earlier, now both knees are complaining. I may need a coffee.

SatinHeart · 11/10/2024 14:23

Just realised I read the wrong book for book club this month 🤦‍♀️

Ivyn · 11/10/2024 14:23

I was phoned before 7am which woke me up with a jolt and gave me a headache. And of course I assumed it was a family emergency, which it wasn't.

I really should silence my phone at night or leave it downstairs.

Strokethefurrywall · 11/10/2024 14:25

I just catapulted the second half of my boiled egg on my desk and then the floor. Such a minor disappointment but really ruined my morning.

Four year old found the tonies that were supposed to go in his stocking 🙄

MinervaMcGonagallsCat · 11/10/2024 14:32

I'm on a beach in the med and we've had a few clouds.

Lolypoly14 · 11/10/2024 14:39

The trousers I’d planned on wearing to work today were still a bit damp so I had to rethink my whole outfit this morning. The outfit I ended up choosing doesn’t feel quite right.

I made a coffee with lunch and forgot about it so it’s now cold.

PyreneanAubrie · 11/10/2024 14:41

Bought a pair of size 12 Next Bootcut jeans from Ebay, they arrived today and are so tiny that I can't even get my (big fat hammy) legs in them. Just realised the seller doesn't accept returns 😞so I'll have the faff of trying to resell some doll sized jeans🙄

For context; I wear a 10 in M&S jeans and already have a Next 12 bootcut that I live in...

PyreneanAubrie · 11/10/2024 14:47

Second one from me;
Puppy woke me at 4.30 am asking to go out for a wee. 10 minutes later she was back in the kitchen fast asleep. I, however, was wide awake so I had a cuppa and sat on the sofa with my book until DH got up for work at 6.30, at which point I gave up on sleep and got dressed.

My period arrived. I was hoping to go to a party tonight but I have endometriosis and now I’m flooding and in a lot of pain. So I’m not sure :(

soupfiend · 11/10/2024 14:56

Mine was yesterday, I have only just got a Sparks card and had a 10% off home, clothing and beauty on it. I didnt read the terms properly and you can only use it once. I ordered something unnecessary online but was going to go into the store on saturday to get underwear but I didnt want to order bras online as I dont know what size I am now

Now I have used it and cant use it tomorrow in store. I should have tried the stuff on in store tomorrow, then ordered the whole lot on line to use my offer. Missed out on saving 8 quid

@HappyDane put a cup of white vinegar with them in the wash. Might need two washes but it should sort it out.

Does this really work? I took a load of things out the storage and they smell like mildew

This for sure

Took book downstairs from bedside cabinet. Put it down somewhere. Now I can't bloody find it. Half way through too.

ScottBakula · 11/10/2024 15:09

Yesterday , I made a coffee at home in my little machine.

Water in , coffee in, flask under spout all good.
Got to work poured hot water out of my flask , evidently I forgot to put the coffee in !

OldTinHat · 11/10/2024 15:10

My new lockable kitchen bin was delivered earlier. Much excitement because my old bin was sitting on the worktop because new rescue dog likes dumpster diving.

I measured the space for the new bin. New bin won't fit because of the locking handle on the top. They clearly didn't include the handle on the online measurements 😡
