What’s your first world problem today?

[Sulking]

I need to read some other people’s first world problems so I feel better about myself 🤣

Mine is that this is the first year in 12 years we haven’t been able to afford to go on our yearly few nights away. We usually do 4 nights in Cornwall, we’ve gone at least once a year since I was a child and now I’ve carried it on for my own kids; but the rise in prices in bills, childcare and food has left us pretty breadline now and we just cannot afford to go away. I know how it sounds too, it’s soooo trivial and ‘woe is me’ but I can’t help but feel sad.. no holiday for us! 🤣

so please tell me your trivial issues today!

I'll try that,thank you for the tip!! :)

I've just wasted some prosecco by spilling it on my t-shirt because I was trying to drink it and read this thread at the same time.

i can’t find a king size ottoman bed with feet tall enough to fit a robot vacuum underneath the bed to clean

I didn't check all the pockets before putting on a load of laundry, and one of them had a tissue in. My clothes are now covered in that annoying white fluff

Oh is samphire back in season?! That's excellent news!

Oh, thought of another one: went to the local lavender fields today but they didn't have any strawberry and lavender jam in stock.

Last time my wife left a tissue in her pocket, I refused to wash any of her clothes for a week.

I've broken a nail trying to unwrap my bastarding opal fruits (refuse to call them starburst). Point me in the direction of whoever wraps them up so I can have a stern word.

I've finished watching a series that I totally got into (rare for me) and I'm sad and cross :(.

Twat DH forgot to buy my two sourdough loaves from the bakery. I was fuming!

What was the series, @Wundy

I’m at work until ten tonight.

Seal Team on Amazon Prime. Actually - that's another moan - there are 7 series and I watched the first 4 I think on Prime. Then suddenly, I could only watch on Paramount which meant paying.

It's probably not for everyone but I did find it really gripping.

My lovely friend gave me a bag making workshop in a local craft centre. Cutting leather and hand sewing entire bag.
I am traumatised. It brought back the horror of always being last and hamfisted in Primary school sewing. I was concentrating hard, trying hard and it was going well until time began running out and I made a mess of the sewing when rushing (up to then sewing was very neat, just slow).
Now binge eating crisps and drinking wine.

I need to refill the tank on our eufy mop station, our three year old sneezed into my freshly poured glass of beer.

Spent bloody ages turning the house upside down, looking for the spare car keys while DP made ominous noises about the ‘horrific’ cost of a new set.
I kept saying they must be in the car…went out & started scrabbling round in silly places, and found them…

He had them last.
We are no longer discussing the keys.
We are not discussing my bumped and scraped knuckles.

A wasp flew down my posh new wellies, got stuck, stung me to buggery and back and then flew off after I hopped around on one leg fishing it out with dirty gardening gloves on which means that the inside of one welly is now filthy. I am quite irked, have run out of fever tree tonic water and have no ice cubes.

LTB.

Was on a lovely holiday and came back three days ago. I now have to write a presentation next week and I can't be bothered.

Oh, I wish MN would bring back the laugh reaction, this thread is gold.

In our house today, DS is annoyed because his sausage rolls stuck to the base of the airfryer. And were undercooked.

I’m going away. Hand luggage only. Can’t decide what to take.

Been at the Three Counties Show all day and my eyes are stinging from the sun cream.

My car is at the garage and DH away so I had to take the kids to their swimming lessons on the bus. They were VERY excited about it, me not so much!

400 bikers and a 10 minute firework display later.

Traumatised by years of watching DDog struggle to the point of terror and not cannot stand the sound of them.

I was away with a large group of friends last weekend so I bought a massive box of mini pastries from Costco. We didn’t eat them all so I’ve had to finish them, I’m bloody sick of croissants now

I went on a mission to find some capers which I forgot to put on my Sainsbury’s delivery yesterday. Finally found some then found some more when I got home. In the fridge 🙄

My kids chose so many books at the library and they were heavy to carry and now they're arguing over who gets to do their maths homework first.
