What's your current first world problem?

[OutieModeOn]

Come share your trivial first world problems. Light-hearted, obviously.

My daughter has a new year birthday. We have very generous friends and family. I am now the owner of about eleventy-million gift bags that are too nice to put in the recycling.

Mine was the opposite to squishy

I smuggly prepared very healthy salad bowls for my lunches this week but they are so full of fresh crunchy veg that they have taken so long to eat I haven't got time to do anything else on my lunchbreak! Weighing up if a healthy meal with zero movement outweighs a worse meal choice but a 20 minute walk

Shall I sell my horse or not? This is genuinely keeping me awake at night ....

I have mine over my lap keeping me warm while I crochet.

My problem is static. I assume it's because the house is so toasty warm and dry but I am lit up by static. My hair is standing on end, my clothes are crackling and I get a shock off everything I touch.

I’m bored of walking my dog in the snow and ice - wellies and dog coat on (one for each of us, obvs), wellies and dog coat off, clean floors on return, repeat. All for the pleasure of slipping up and down the icy lane for 20 mins three times a day.

Same. I have a stone to lose and A LOT of chocolate.

I could have written this myself - except the age of having my first child
Got so bored with 8 -10 year olds proudly telling me they are taller than me - I see you, I am short not unobservant!!
Currently unreasonably outraged that New Look used a 5'5" model for their one of their petite range!

I ate a salad for lunch and now feel I’m entitled to eat everything & anything for the rest of the day. And there’s no chocolate in the house

Haha I’m also in the teeny tiny club, barely scraping 5 feet. I used get buried in the sea of teens when I worked in a high school. Luckily I’m not bothered by my height, well not until I can’t reach stuff in supermarkets and have to invent ways of either climbing up or knocking it down

Fed up with January weather in January.

I peel for you!

A combination of my weekly Ozempic jab and stupidly gulping down nearly a litre of diet coke in an evening resulted in me releasing a fast stream of hot fizzy gravy into my brand new, Christmas gift from me to me, Rigby and Peller knickers before I could undo my jeans belt.

Can only wash them on the delicate setting, and there's nothing delicate about their current condition.

About to tuck into the last of the Christmas cake. It’s going to be sorely missed.

I'm so tired from getting back into routine and it's only Tuesday 😴 💤

Also I went a bit overboard with the January sales and feeling guilty 😳

I really want a biscuit to go with my coffee but cannot be bothered to get up again. And the kitchen is so cold!

Work is boring today and I still have 3 hours to kill.

I have to wait in today as my husband’s suitcase, which has seemingly been on a bender round Amsterdam, is being delivered. I wasn’t planning on going out anyway but I’m annoyed.

Also it’s book club tonight and it was my choice and word on the street is everyone hated it. Good, I picked it knowing they would all dislike it because it isn’t a stupid story about a nurse in World War II or similar, but I will still have to front out the hate tonight.

I still haven't taken my Christmas tree down! And I kind of want to keep the lights up.

We have to know what the book is!

The dog is hogging my electric throw.

I have a whole list!!

1. My hair is tied up in a clip that is fine when I am at my desk, but badly digs in when lounging on the sofa - but I want my hair out of my face!
2. I can't decide what do with the chicken I got out for dinner.
3. Having overdone the savoury snacks, I am craving some fruit but the only type I have is frozen chunks so I have to wait for it to defrost.
4. I have the makings of a headache but the painkillers are in the kitchen and I am cosy in the lounge.
5. My nails are just that fraction too long where the rounded tips have now grown into sharp corners.

WOE IS ME!!!!!

Ive got four bottles of gin that was gifted to me...but no tonic and I live in the arse end of nowhere so can't just nip to a shop!

@singthing you can get flat claw clips for your hair. I have some that I’ve managed to sleep in. Game changer for driving too

It was my birthday yesterday, I will now have no more presents for the whole rest of the year. I am a fully grown adult with a job, who can buy myself most things I need or want. But, still. Presents and a bit of a fuss are nice.

Also I have to go cook some lovely fresh fish and vegetables for our tea, but I (finally!!!) took some anti-anxiety meds today and whilst I do appreciate my body no longer pretending I'm constantly under threat, I do not appreciate the current digestive situation that means the last thing I want to eat is anything that isn't toast.

I've got terrible cramps a massive pile of essays to mark and er... My hands are cold.
