Am I the only one who's already embarrassed themselves this morning?

Big day today, DC free and last date night with DH before new baby arrives.

I was supposed to be up, showered and have everything ready by now to set off shopping (need last few bits) as soon as my Asda delivery arrives. But what do I do? I procrastinate of course.
Driver turns up and the kitchen is a bomb site and I'm in PJs with Nutella around my face, so there I go lugging big multipacks of baby wipes and nappies into the house and the bloody dog (who I thought I locked in the utility room) decides it's a great time to sneak past me and run down the road to say hi to the neighbour fixing his car.

So I set off waddling running down the street after the little fluffball in DHs pyjamas (mine don't fit anymore Blush), food on my face, no makeup, messy hair and a full term pregnant bump leaving a very confused delivery driver behind shouting after my DDog using her "full" name like an angry mum (she has no recall once she's excited by the way hence usually locking her in the utility when accepting deliveries). She knew she was in trouble so when I got to her she hid behind the neighbours leg and tried to look invisible Hmmand I had to physically pick her up and carry her back home.

Poor driver ended up unloading the last basket for me as I waddled back and asked if its all ok before leaving. I wished the ground would swallow me up.
It was way too early for this. Envy (NOT envy)

Anyone willing to share their embarrassing moments to make me feel better?

Hopefully you won't see that delivery driver again? I've only seen the same chap once or twice in the past year of weekly deliveries! And I do think full term pregnant women get a pass on most things, tbh!!

I was embarrassed this morning rushing to get the bins out - still in pyjamas, boobs akimbo as I ran out with the recycling...

Finola1step · 15/11/2017 11:03

Honestly, you will have made the delivery driver's day. Mmm Nutella

Justbookedasummmerholiday · 15/11/2017 11:04

Burst out laughing at the radio in the car at the traffic lights with other drivers either side. Mortified.
Apparently Greggs have issued an apology to customers who have bought a Greggs advent calendar and realised Baby Jesus has been replaced by a sausage roll!!

Oh at least you were mostly dressed. The last time my (now sadly departed) dog ran off, I had a full 'Fenton' moment. Running down the street in nothing but my dressing gown, which inevitably fell open. It was a Sunday morning though, and I think (hope against hope) all the neighbours were either still in bed or out and about.

I've had to answer the door in a state the last couple of days. Bloody deliveries that were said to be coming Friday arrived yesterday and this morning. Same lady both mornings, seeing my mad hair, unbra-ed state and our front room that is currently resembling a laundrette and full of recycling to go out (except we can't get to the bin because next large growling dog is guarding it after breaking into our garden again Angry ). If she comes again tomorrow, I'm going to just send the toddler to answer the door Grin.

I saw a post on FB the other day about that being six years ago!

Just looked it up, it was! Where on earth has time gone....

My postman delivered a parcel for next door while I was putting hair dye on my roots. I had dye all over my forehead and was wearing a black plastic cape around my shoulders. The ndn then came to collect his parcel a few minutes later while I was eating a flaky croissant so had crumbs and jam around my mouth as well as the hair dye everywhere.

TonicAndTonic · 15/11/2017 11:19

I went to work with my cardigan on inside out and mascara on my nose Blush.

EdmundCleverClogs · 15/11/2017 11:25

Oh, not my story but an old friend. Was expecting a delivery but also procrastinated. When the door went she quickly threw on some clothes and answered the door. Delivery man was a bit odd and apparently couldn't scarper quickly enough. A few minutes after closing the door, friend realised why - she had a full bare boob hanging out of her top. Still laugh about the time she made a complete tit of herself Grin.

The80sweregreat · 15/11/2017 11:27

I had a run of christmas parcels and things arrive almost daily a few years ago and the Hermes lady always used to find me in my pj's and dressing gown as i was doing a temp job in a kitchen which meant i was getting home around midnight and not getting up till 9 or 10am in the morning.
After the 3rd parcel from her and a 'look' i told her i was ' a night worker' not strictly true, and i dont think she believed me! it happens, i wouldnt worry too much. I am sure the delivery guys and girls have seen and experienced a lot worse! good luck with the new baby.

paxillin · 15/11/2017 11:30

You had Nutella on your face? I'm a bit uneasy reading this, the driver must have been dying to clean it off!

CelebrationSizedBounty · 15/11/2017 11:32

I flashed a tit at my delivery guy this morning!

Sitting on the side with TV on, I finally got DS to nap by breastfeeding him to sleep on me.

Literally two minutes later the damn doorbell goes and they can tell I’m in because they can see the TV is on through the window.

Our sofa is in front of the window with its back to it, so I awkwardly twist round to tap on the glass as delivery guy goes back down the path. As he turned round my boob flopped out of DS’s mouth, giving the delivery guy a full eyeful as I’m silently gesticulating like a madwoman for him to leave the package in the porch.

Yes, I can deal with most things but that would make me itch!

Maybe any journalist looking for a cheap story could also sod off (since they do like these kind of things)....

PricillaQueenOfTheDesert · 15/11/2017 11:40

I remember a similar “bad start to the day”thread on here one Friday 13th and the op was slammed for being disorganised.
You made me smile again though. I bet you tell this story to your baby when he/she is big enough to ask “tell me a story about when I was born”.
Have a great date night x

GothAndTired · 15/11/2017 12:02

I farted during my smear this morning, if it makes you feel any better.

user1493413286 · 15/11/2017 12:12

It became a regular occurrence when my dd was newborn to open the door to the postman with baby attached to my boob with her pulling off the muslin I’d thrown over my shoulder or me flashing my nursing bra because I often forgot to pull my top back up. Think he’s relieved now I just open the door in my dressing gown

InsomniacAnonymous · 15/11/2017 12:32

user1493413286 why is there a door in your dressing gown?

SteelyPip · 15/11/2017 12:37

Oh no @GothAndTired!!!! I've got mine this afternoon. Did you brazen it out, or die inside?

PovertyPain · 15/11/2017 12:37

That made me roar. I did the same during my first and last, as a result bikini wax.

GothAndTired · 15/11/2017 15:21

Oh I absolutely died. But the lady said it happens all the time. I'm not sure I believe her and it definitely didn't help.

Note to self - no French onion soup the night before I get my bits out in public.

Mooycow · 15/11/2017 15:50

I have rotten cough at the moment , I coughed and farted at the same time ... in front of all my Seniors this morning . !

FGSholdthedoor · 15/11/2017 16:32

Thank you for making me feel less alone!

@EdmundCleverClogs that made me laugh. I can imagine that being me in the next few weeks Grin

Luckily I managed to open the door fully dressed and with make up on my face instead of Nutella to the lovely Amazon delivery driver who turned up with my parcel just now!

Not today but yesterday.

I dropped my kids off at their various after school activities and was sitting at the traffic lights happily singing away at the top of my voice and chair dancing only to glance round just as the lights changed and see my DD’s teacher laughing at me from the next car.

Thank goodness we’ve already had parent teacher conference this term.
