I have a very spendy range cooker. It can’t decide when the door is open or not. Have so far had two trips by maintenance men. Door sensor changed. Thought it was fixed. Tonight the interior light has stayed on. It’s the first symptom of it playing up again. So irritating!

Oh and I have something or maybe various things living in my walls! There’s no way to get in there so it is what it is.

My friend once said to me that she had the worst Saturday as weeding her tennis court had taken so long she didn't have time for a swim in her pool......unbelievably we are still friends.

I own a light aircraft, a Cessna 182 specifically.

I'm now curious as to how "general aviation" and "international travel" can fit together, in terms of filing flight plans, booking landing slots at airfields, and dealing with immigration and customs.

I'm also envious because I can't even afford flying lessons.

Aldi ran out of Essentials range Greek yoghurt so I had to buy the expensive kind.

Worst of all, there is no more chocolate in the house. I've even run out of my emergency toblerone.

They’ve changed the layout of my local Waitrose.

OMG that was going to be my first world problem! I went in yesterday and got so confused. I wonder if it's the same one...

The padded inserts from my sports bras always go awol in the washing machine
Why aren't they sewn in?? 😩

I'm in bed and I've realised I haven't plugged my electric car in.

  1. Some women like to take them out.
  2. You can stitch them in yourself.

Listening to some 90's rave and wishing I was back there... such energy!

Mansionscoldandgrey · 08/03/2025 23:57

My self-cleaning oven is nagging me to press the self-cleaning function button, but you need to remove the shelves and racks first, and I really can't be arsed with doing that.

I washed my bed sheets and have left them to put on until I've gone to bed and I'm so tiiirrreeddd 😭

That's annoying... Especially wrestling a duvet cover on as well...It takes me a good 10 minutes to make my bed properly, but the bliss of newly washed cotton sheets is worth it.

Yep, with you on this, it's so tiresome

My cleaner puts my bedding on BlushGrin.
Coming home to fresh bedding is amazing!

I hate this especially when you forget and go to bed and realise 😭😭

You've just reminded me I still have to do thid before I can sleep 😭

Our big car is difficult to park in small parking spaces unless I am lucky and get a parent child space

I hate that, I no longer know where everything is and can't just dash in and grab something quickly. Im pretty sure thats why they do it, lost shoppers buy more.

My DS's tennis lesson is not long enough for me to be able to do my full workout and stretch.

I left my book downstairs. Went down to get it just now but couldn't be arsed to turn the lights on down there. Groped around for a bit in the dark but couldn't find it so came back upstairs thinking it must be up here after all.

It isn't.

I want my book but I'm too tired to get out of bed now... 😒

I'm so lazy , I've downloaded the book I left downstairs onto my kindle (which is bedside) before 😳

I'm worried a dress I want in Mint Velvet will sell out before I can get to the shop.
Can't order online as I need to try it on.
Already sold out in my probable size in JL and Next.

Same. Went to Costco yesterday. Couldn't find the tonic water.

Not Japan by chance? Might have been on the same plane as my mum!

No, but close!
