It was the rat in the piano thread that inspired me Grin

I thought it might be nice to have a safe place to unload all those first world problems that we don't feel we can moan about in real life without inducing eye-rolling responses.

Any takers?

I added too much spinach to my nutribullet this morning so my smoothie is too vegetably. I may need trauma counselling.

I cannot add avocado to my NutriNinja smoothie because Asda were selling them for £1 each when M&S over the road were selling them for £1.50 for three but I didn't have time because I had to get my son home for tea!

I thought it was just me! I end up doing this ridiculous bleep test like challenge where I tear backwards and forwards between the door and kitchen clutching bags and falling over children while lettuces roll everywhere, just so I can empty the box before he brings the next one.

The tesco man hates coming to us as it is with all the farmyard mud and loose dogs which he seems convinced are going to eat him so I don't really like to add to it.

I put a bloody hole in my favourite pair of socks the other day. For a man I'm well manicured but still managed to create a hole with my right big toe Angry

I can sew but couldn't be bothered so thought I'd be clever and put the sock on my left foot (having a hole over your little toe = crisis over).

Well blow me if the fecking hole didnt move over my other big toe. WTF?!

I thought I was going mad so switched socks again. WTAF?! Hmm

Morrisons no longer do blue toilet roll (own brand) and I'm having to buy peach which doesn't match the bathroom.

Ijustdontknowwhattodowithmysel · 25/01/2015 09:50

I've got too many Clarins sample sizes moisturisers which came free to use up.

BA's champagne in First Class is Business Class quality (at best).

Sometimes my OH has too much money to fit in his money clip. Sometimes too little

I need winter tyres for my BMW Sad

I've had to drive my 4x4 all week because of the snow and it's not as comfortable as my other car. What a hardship.

Thoughtfulduck · 25/01/2015 11:08

Dh blew my white company candle out before it had melted all of the surface, I am now going to be cursed with a tunnelling effect. I'm stupidly annoyed about this.

Archer26 · 25/01/2015 12:19

Oh punkrockergirl, I feel your pain. I regularly throw a strop in morrisons at the lack of colours of loo roll. Being pregnant this has escalated to last time me shouting at my dh 'who the feck has a lilac bathroom. Does hyacinth bucket shop here?!'

I don't want much in life, just to sit on the loo and to not have my eyes assaulted by day glo loo roll.

Pumpkinette · 25/01/2015 12:24

Archer26 my last bathroom was white with purple accessories, as such I was one buyers of lilac loo roll.

I though my bathroom look quite good actually....

(Runs and hides)

Someone wrote sinch instead of cinch and it really bugs me.

I will have to go down three storeys to get the cuppa I left in the kitchen

jeanmiguelfangio · 25/01/2015 13:05

Thought my favourite scented Yankee candle has done this- I won't burn it at the moment because it's just too distressing

taxi4ballet · 25/01/2015 13:12

I just can't find some new towels in the right shade of blue for my bathroom, and Morrisons - no more blue loo rolls! (Sobs)

Hatespiders · 25/01/2015 13:18

We went to Harrods in Knightsbridge last summer and saw some headphones covered in small diamonds in a glass display case. They cost £20,000 and we're slowly saving up. But so far we've only reached £50.

(Actually, the headphones in Harrods are entirely true. We couldn't believe it and asked a snooty passing assistant and he confirmed that the price was correct. Twenty thousand pounds!)

This morning i discovered ive been spelling Teetotal wrong and now im embarrassed wondering how often ive used the word! And also what not drinking alcohol has to do with golf?! Surely teatotal makes much more sense?!

LaLa5 · 25/01/2015 13:46

I ran out of Dermologica face cream so in having to use Clinique

LaLa5 · 25/01/2015 13:49

We've run out of sun blushed tomatoes so I've had to use sundried in my sandwich instead

Lurknomoreladies · 25/01/2015 14:01

I have four bottles of white truffle oil on the go and I keep loosing track of which one I should be using.

possibly the most middle class thing I've ever said

KatieScarlettreregged · 25/01/2015 14:05

I'm out of my particular favourite Tassimo pod. There are 4 other types I can have but I wanted THAT one.
Oh and my diamond shoes are too tight.

Archer26 · 25/01/2015 14:05

Pumpkinette, it's not lilac in itself that offends me, in fact my favourite colour is purple, however this particular brand is sooo lilacy. totally a word

It's like a 1970s insipid acidy lilac. Not a laura Ashley relaxing woodland walk lilac. In my head what I'm saying makes perfect sense though I'm sure it comes across as utter tosh.

I'm sure your bathroom is lovely. Flowers
