Mine is that DC got loads of Easter Eggs for Easter but neither of them really like chocolate. I LOVE chocolate but we keep being so busy that I am not having my dinner until 9 o clock so there is no time for a chocolate snack before bed and it feels so wasteful!

My hayfever is really bad this year, (peri?) and I've changed eye drops which help the itching but the new ones make the skin under my eyes (a) puffy and (b) dry.

I’m struggling to get a slot to see the Tracey Emin exhibition at Tate Modern because it’s so popular

MagpiePi · 12/04/2026 14:57

I’m having to unpick a whole patch of cross stitch because I used to wrong colour.

I love Tracey Emin, but I've been and it's not that good. 😬

Oh god don’t tell me that 😂

We're going away for a few days next week. Should I take the electric car or the diesel one? Which will be easiest to get extra fuel for right now?

singthing · 12/04/2026 17:32

I'm wearing socks but my feet are still cold.

And my brain won't decide between two choices for dinner, before saying, oh hey, what about chips? So actually three choices for dinner.

DP bought tortilla wraps which have UPF ingredients in them, so now I'm going to have to make my own.

notatinydancer · 12/04/2026 17:39

I can’t find any free time to get my nails done before I go away 😬

DoAWheelie · 12/04/2026 17:40

Too many really good video games came out this month and I don't have enough time to play them all.

Glitchymn1 · 12/04/2026 17:42

Which Penhaligon’s perfume, wash and lotion to treat myself to this month.

I should be laying the dining table for dinner, but I'd have to remove all my bonsai tools and work tray off it first, so I'm not going to bother. The family is going to have to suffer lap trays instead.

DameProfessorIDareSay · 12/04/2026 17:47

I thought I had another bottle of fizz and I don’t and the shops are shut 🙄

BridgetJonesV2 · 12/04/2026 17:47

I'm struggling to fit all the toys that the grandchildren had for Christmas into their room here. I really need a small table/desk for them to put their stuff onto but there's not really the space in there as it has to double as a spare room for our other DD's when they stay. Sigh.

DeathMetalMum · 12/04/2026 18:22

My garden waste bin is full and I have only just paid the fee to the council for this year's license. I want to go out and do some gardening/a bit of tidying up but I can't as the bin is too full.

FawnDrench · 12/04/2026 18:30

I can’t decide which takeaway to have.

orangesneverpeel77 · 12/04/2026 19:55

i'm staying in a hotel for 3 nights this week, so I'm going to have to decide what to eat off the menu each night.

SirChenjins · 12/04/2026 19:57

We're struggling to decide which EV to buy - cars which cost more than our first flat back in the mid 90s.

SpecialAgentMaggieBell · 12/04/2026 19:57

That I’m back in work tomorrow after 10 days off. 😭

chesterelly1 · 12/04/2026 20:02

There’s half full bottle of wine in the fridge that should be finished before we go on holiday tomorrow. But I have a headache. Kill or cure?

SnugglyJumpersMakeItBetter · 12/04/2026 20:05

I forgot to set the bread machine off earlier so now I'm doing the fast bake program so it will be ready for dinner. The trouble is I LOVE the doughy, warm fast-baked bread and will now eat far too much of it!! Very cross with myself for forgetting.

Out of interest where do you get wraps that aren't UPF?

YorkshireIndie · 12/04/2026 20:19

The car is going in for a service and I need everything to be okay so I do not have to listen to my husband saying I told you so.

I should also raise the idea of going to London to see the PIL (trains only work one way) which will involve planning it, suffering through my MIL not wanting to do anything/passive aggressive comments. I just cannot be arsed (currently using the fact DS has a dance exam coming up in June as an excuse).

AspiringMermaid · 12/04/2026 20:27

I almost went a year without any illness/bug, streak ruined today, I have a mildly sore throat and a head cold😤

whatradiatorstopick · 12/04/2026 20:33

We are refurbishing our entire house and I’m running out of design ideas.
Literally just heard myself say to DH….”but I NEED to find a teal vanity unit”. No dickhead, you don’t 🤦‍♀️
