*light hearted**

So aibu to ask what's ruined your day?

For me....

I had a sickness bug the other night, slept all day yesterday and woke up yesterday evening dreaming of a cooked breakfast.

Decided to get a Morrison's breakfast this morning..... specifically asked for no mushrooms and no toast....

It gets brought to me with mushrooms :-( I bloody hate them. Stupid slimy cooked slugs....and the smell...ugh!

And to compound how much that has ruined my day...I look up (after missing my mouth) mid breakfast to see the guy I have a meeting with at 1pm (and is so gorgeous it should be illegal) is sat opposite me and has just seen me land bacon down my dress :-(

Today sucks. And it's raining.

I dropped my toast cream cheese side down onto my maternity notes. Then I had a massive nose bleed. Then there was a huge spider in my bed when I pulled back the duvet. Hoping today is better!

My husband bought be cheap jewellery for my birthday again. Ive asked him not to as i dont wear jewellery apart from wedding ring, and certainly wouldnt wear a necklace and earrings that cost £15 in total. Unless it was really nice and quirky. This is a large circular piece of cubic zirconia on a necklace. I dont get presents from anyone else so that’s it. This is why last year i decided to buy and wrap and leave under the tree my own christmas presents.

And yea i do know how spoilt / entitled / ungrateful i sound. I just fucks me off that i buy for 16 different people (adults and children) for burthdays and christmas and all he buys for is me and my mum and every year for christmas and birthday i get something that is both cheap and lacking in any thought.

C0untDucku1a · 27/10/2017 08:35

He buys for me and HIS mum that should have read.

The sun. Was planning to go for a nice run today as it was supposed to be drizzling. Apparently not.

RubyWinterstorm · 27/10/2017 08:39

CountDuck that sucks...I hope he makes up for it in many other ways!

samidolls · 27/10/2017 15:06

Annoying woman in Tescos! Cut me up to get to the tills first, and then the same leaving the store...

When I politely Hmm excused her she got all snarky; apparently it was my fault for walking too slow, at 7 months pregnant. But its ok because she didn't bump into me (only because I stopped)!

Grrrr! Angry

TSSDNCOP · 27/10/2017 15:09

I had shellac done yesterday at a new place. It's absolutely shit. The "technician" also made my toes bleed. Acknowledging this is a total first world problem, I am irrationally irritated every time I look at my poor finger and toenails.

AnnabellaH · 27/10/2017 15:17

My friend told me today he's going down the IVF path with his wife - after being too scared to divorce her (his words not mine) and having to start again. He'll be trapped out of loyalty and it breaks my heart. He deserves so much more. So does she, even if she is a total crank.

mateysmum · 27/10/2017 15:24

The wanker car salesman who still thinks it's 1963, got my test drive appointment wrong, hadn't prepared the test car so it wouldn't start and the proceeded to patronise me for the next hour until when I said "Thank you for you time" and shook his hand in a businesslike way, he clasped my hand with both of his. YUK

Even if I buy the brand he sells, I shall not be buying it from him. This was a main brand dealership. Not had this from any of his competitors who were courteous and professional and in the 21st century.

DH (who wasn't there) just doesn't get why I came home and had an almighty rant!

SabineUndine · 27/10/2017 15:28

Stomach upset and the galloping shits.

BlueThesaurusRex · 27/10/2017 15:32

Yesterday a salesman came to quote for a conservatory. He arrived at 18:30 and didn’t leave until 23:15!! I lost the will to live at 21:00 and he just wouldn’t go. I ended up having an anxiety attack 😢 I’ve never known anyone so stubborn and ignorant- needless to say, we’re not buying from his company!

simonisnotme · 27/10/2017 15:38

DH

DS dropped an entire bowl of milk and sugar puffs on the floor this morning. I told him before 7am is too early to deal with this and he groaned back 'I know!'

BernardBlacksHangover · 27/10/2017 15:47

DD has pooed everywhere (recently potty trained, but having a bad day). I've completely broken the only non-work computer in the house. DH took the hump about it and I cried and told him to fuck off. DD then went for a wee on the loo and was so pleased with herself. She jumped off the loo and fell, bumping her head off the doorframe in the process. I'm grumpy.

PineappleSnapple · 27/10/2017 15:52

Found more fluffy black maggots today. Looks like they're back in big numbers.

SabineUndine · 27/10/2017 15:55

Pineapple sympathies. I’ve had both ants and clothes moths. I can bear insects.

pantrylightout · 27/10/2017 16:01

I decide to make Parkin. all okay but then thought I would double up and make two and give one to daughter . But I didn't put my glasses on and made a complete bugger of the recipe.. After tasting a bit of the burnt top the whole lot was thrown in the bin and I hate waste. Might need a new bin too.

The Scandinavian furniture and homewares superstore,which I drove for over an hour to get to, was out of stock of all three of the items that teenaged DD has chosen from the website for her bedroom makeover. No suitable alternatives found.

One of the items is discontinued in all their stores, another is expected back in February 2018. DD was disappointed and then sulky. No, we did not do a stock check online before setting off. Note to self in future. . .

Went to cheer ourselves up with a late lunch in the store but there was a huge queue and DD needed to get back for her early evening shift at her job. So no lunch.

My DM came with us and she got a nice collage photo frame.

BreakfastAtStephanies · 27/10/2017 16:15

BlueThesaurusRex - I should have lent you my DH. He has been known to evict one of those types from our house, because a price was not forthcoming in a short enough time span.

Tortycat · 28/10/2017 00:05

Put diesel in dh's hybrid petrol car. Then had to spend 3.5 hours 'entertaining' a 3 and 1 year old in the car (in the petrol station) waiting for the breakdown man then £160 to fix (+£40 of diesel I'd put in). Finally got home at 9pm - not ashamed to say i almost cried! And I'd been congratulating myself on a free day out (picnic in the park) prior to that.

Tortycat · 28/10/2017 00:06

Oh and the 1 year old had diarrhoea in the car too so we all smelt of shit by the time we got home

LilaoftheGreenwood · 28/10/2017 00:16

Friend of a friend (not my friend) told me my suggestion of holiday cottage for our group New Year's was "well dull". Go spend New Years in a strip club then dickhead. Have gone from wildly enthusiastic about the whole idea to really not sure I want to spend £100+ on being in a confined space with this person for three days. He has form for the strip club thing too.

There has been other stuff but that was where it started.

Lily2007 · 28/10/2017 00:22

Got mugged by a seagulls in Brighton for my nutella pancake.

I love nutella pancakes and regard this as an act of war.

Checked and apparently Cameron promised a 'big conversation' on seagulls in 2015. The time for talking has passed I fear. Grin

MammaTJ · 28/10/2017 00:34

DD1, pregnant, suffering terribly from morning sickness, could not cope with DD2, prepubescent, declining to shower 'I showered yesterday' and stinking, so had to send DP, GDs 'Grumpy' home with her, to make her bath and tidy her room for sleepover. DP messaged me saying he would be collecting me and DS an hour later than agreed. I really hoped he had decided to clear the kitchen! He hadn't!

Blink1982 · 28/10/2017 00:38

So I wake up and go loo, I spy loo roll in there and think "Ok I won't flush, it's only loo roll, save water etc" do my morning evacuation and go to flush. The loo blocks up because of the paper. No prodding with the brush helps and my plunger is only short handled. That's right my morning started by having my arm elbow deep in shit water.

It ended by treding in dog poo.

Shit day.
