...to start a thread for our first world problems?

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?

Got a blizzard heading my way ( bout 3 foot of snow they reckon ) and I cant get my snow blower to start :(

I am in bed ill. Dh has just bought me dinner, onion rings, sweetcorn, fish in batter, pasta and chips. YumHmm

Jo Malone scented candles are the bestest candles EVER. I now feel like I've wasted years of candle use and I can't get that time back.

Broke my index finger nail half way off, all plastered up now and finding it hard to type on the ipad and iphone with my middle finger!

The radio in my new car is touch-screen. I have to take my glove off to change stations.

Referencing my PP about the fake Le Creuset mug, my lovely stove-top kettle (also Le Creuset, which I feel it necessary to clarify) is rusting inside. Of course, part of me knows I ought to complain but another part of me thinks "yippee! I can buy a new lovely Le Creuset stove-top kettle in a different colour!"

So now I can't sleep at night because I can't decide which bloody colour to go for!

I was looking forward to a takeaway tonight after a long tough week. DH ordered me a butternut squash burger from Deliverance and just assumed it came with chips. It didn't. I am so disappointed - I'd been excited about veggie burger and chips for hours. It's ruined my weekend.

I've run out of vodka. Will have to have gin instead.

I don't have a kingsize duvet for my new shiny kingsize bed.

My sense and spray sometimes sprays at night and wakes me up.

My dishwasher has broken...so I have to actually wash the dishes in the sink!

The remote start on my car doesn't switch on the heated seats. I have to run OUTSIDE to switch them on...sometimes in the snow and everything.

My 26 month old DS loves Brioche but cannot pronounce it properly.....so he asks for 'Birock'

Some pieces of my Denby Linen dinner service just don't quite match the rest. They look a different colour.

It really really annoys me.

The glass of my balcony overlooking the sea needs cleaned but it's cold and it takes ages....woe is me.

The baby has a cold and is too grumpy for us to go to mum and baby pilates today.

DH made me toast. I fancied marmelade on it but didn't actually tell him. Now I have boring toast.

I wash our duvet covers every week, but the matching curtains only every 3 months. Now the duvet covers are faded a bit with washing and don't match the blasted curtains.
