What are you moans today? (lighthearted)

We were away all weekend taking DS1 to the far end of the country to start uni. It was an exhausting weekend - almost 10 hours of driving, most of it on motorways in heavy traffic, some of it in rain. It was also quite emotional as DS wasn't very cheerful. I slept poorly on Fri night because he had mates over and they woke me up. I didn't sleep well on Sat night because we were in a hotel and the bed was hard and DH was snoring. And I didn't sleep very well last night either, because my mattress is giving me a bad back.

So today I'm really tired and I have fuck all to do at work, which is often the case, but I have to sit at my computer, pretending to work, so that fucking Teams doesn't make my tick go amber or give me the dreaded grey cross, and what I really need to do is go shopping and also go and try out new mattresses. I should have taken a duvet day. So what are your moans today?

ETA: I know these are First World Problems, so please don't attack me. And I know I say 'you' not 'your' in my title Smile

DH has been home alone with no obligations other than to throw some food in the tortoise’s direction. I’ve been away at my parents for a full week of moving them into a new home (heavy cleaning, lifting, furniture assembly). Why then, is it my job to sort the car for the tip and MOT tomorrow, do the food shop and point out that the house still needs cleaning?

Sodding Ikea.
Ordered a new kitchen in June... to be installed in August.
Come delivery day, all the kitchen parts turned up, but the worktop didn't... it has been 'lost' (I suspect they forgot to order it, it's custom made)
So...installation delayed...meanwhile we have a kitchen stacked to the ceiling with boxes.
Rescheduled twice...to next week.
And today they rang me to say the bloody worktop isn't ready.

I am SOOOO pissed off. Just sent a slightly snotty email to them, and to the installing team to ensure they can come when the worktop does.

Yes it's a minor thing in the long run, but I've had to save a long time for a new kitchen and I can't move round the one we have!
