What's your FIRST WORLD Problem Today?

Mine is that one of my Tesco Chicken Caesar wraps had NO Caesar dressing on it!!! While the other one had obscene amounts on it. Per MN rules I'm not simply livid, but Beyond Livid about this.

So what's Your First World Problem Today?

Well I don't want to tell you how to live your life, calilark, but if I were you I'd be composing strongly worded emails to both Lidl and Mars asking how they propose to go about fixing this dreadful and totally unacceptable situation.

My new bottle of fabric softener should have a pump to dispense but has not come with a pump.

M&S have added avocado to their fish sushi selection and I HATE AVOCADO.

I asked for a fried egg, sunny side up, runny yolk on seeded bread, for breakfast

They served 2 fried eggs, sunny side up, runny yolks on seeded bread

I mean WTF? I asked for one egg and they give me two. I'm on a diet - there's an epidemic of obesity and they give me TWO eggs when I asked for one

Should I write in and complain?

Our vacuum smells of cat piss. We read to clean it with vinegar. Now it smells of cat piss and vinegar.

DD was very slightly sick on her bedding. I've washed it and it's bad weather out. Been gloriously sunny on all the days that she wasn't sick on her bedding.

MuddyForestWalks · 14/06/2018 09:38

DD got.out of the car to go into nursery, rubbed her hand on the car, noticed it was dirty then rubbed it all over her white top. Filthy before she even got in. Sigh.

Our newborn daughter decided to wait until the health visitor was here to cry inconsolably for 10 minutes which seemed like an hour. Yay.

My cat refuses to eat the Waitrose cat food I bought her.

I felt like a second bowl of ice cream but only had enough for one. Also it’s not Friday yet.

The toddler group I took DS to this morning were making lovely Fathers' Day craft gifts. But my DS didn't want to do it.

The healthy soup I bought for lunch tastes really healthy.
I was hoping they'd somehow magically make it taste better than a pot of legumes and water.

I had a whole list of things I need to get and do and I didn't manage to complete half of it. I'm so so tired atm and it's starting to show in my appearance and my home. Can't wait for a relaxing weekend and to start afresh next week hopefully

I wanted to watch the football but my son wanted to go to the park, of course I took him to the park because they always come first 😊

"The local birds are costing me a fortune in bird food."

Tell me about it. Especially those greedy bastard starlings. One moment - two fresh suet cakes in holder, half a dozen fat balls in their "lantern". GBS swoop - thirty seconds later - nothing left but crumbs. angry

What you need is two cheap hanging baskets. Wire them together with the bird feeder inside. Cheaper than those fancy caged bird feeder thingies.

Mine is I went to my local Tesco to buy some posh vegetarian pies from Higgidy for dinner and they didn't have ANY at all in store. Had to buy Tesco own label pies instead Shock

If I can’t get hold of £20 in the morning, I’m going to struggle to buy the racks of lamb I’ve ordered for tomorrow night

My iPhone wouldn't recognise my thumb print after I moisturised, had to enter manually

LanguidLobster · 14/06/2018 23:56

I can't think of one right at this second...I'm a bit tired...?

liz70 · 15/06/2018 11:44

I am currently trying to watch a programme about castles on iPlayer. The presenter pronounces the word with a long "a". As a native of NW England, living in Glasgow, I'm finding this rather painful. Thinking of muting it and just reading the subs.

Squirrel26 · 15/06/2018 12:00

I am hungry, but I think there is unlikely to be anything delicious on offer in the canteen. I shall have to settle for something adequate. Sigh.

I feel a bit bad that, that made me laugh out loud. Blush

Tesco is really letting us down!

I'm out of coffee beans. Shock I went shopping on Wednesday but didn't buy any because I thought I had a pack in the cupboard. I don't. I have instant (that I bought for the au pair, although I am also out of au pairs now) but I hate instant. Woe is me!

They only had one bottle of Kefir in Sainsbury's- I had to have half of a bottle!

I am having difficulty fitting in a leg wax on by holiday to South America and I don't want hairy legs by the time I get to my Galapagos cruise at the end
