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?

BlooBagoo Salted butter is the way to go. He knows that now (for me) If he's out shopping and he thinks I'm running low, he will buy it for me Grin

My gardener is delightful, has excellent plant knowledge but is a little irregular. I now face the prospect of mowing my own fucking lawn. Why should I if I have a gardener. I can’t get the mower out because the handyman has put his circular saw in front of it in preparation for work tomorrow.

"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

@Cellardoor23 Sounds like mine in that respect then. Smile Definitely has to be salted, wondered what was wrong with the butter at my parents' house, DM prefers unsalted. I now sneak a little sprinkle out of the salt cellar on my toast whenever we're staying with them. Grin

While out for a meal this evening I spilt a drop of my lobster bisque on the lapel of my smart, light grey dry-clean only suit jacket.

The bisque was yum though!

Went into town to get some deodorant and groceries. Got distracted by Homesense on my way to get deodorant, bought a sodding huge fruit bowl and some other nonsense, and then realised I couldn't carry all the groceries I needed in one trip. I went home intending to buy the rest at the corner shop, only to realise the bloody groceries I hadn't bought I could only get in town and had to go back because I'm in work all weekend...

Was also swayed by the 50p large pineapples in Tesco, rather than the smaller more expensive ripe pineapples, so have essentially bought a stunt pineapple for my new fruit bowl because I never bloody eat unripe pineapples and I don't know why I made such a stupid decision.

The car I was driving round the performance track needed new windscreen wipers.

I've just been in my hot tub and it's too hot in these temperatures, but if I turn the water temperature down it'll be freezing and rainy tomorrow 😜

That my first attempt Cookie Monster cupcakes are too green and look like cabbages! FFS!

It's my sister's birthday on Saturday, and I've bought 3 small Flamingo themed presents with a flamingo birthday card and wrapping paper. But I really wanted to get her a higher value something to go with it all as she always spends hundreds on me, and my mum has swooped in and baggsied what would have been ideal, a flamingo M&S giftcard. Gutted. :0(

My daughter's paw patrol chocolate thing from M&S shedded some chocolate crumbs in my Mulberry handbag. I had to get the dyson on the job before it melted. Fuck my life.

I'm stuck wearing jeans and full leg coverage garments in the heat as I'm in between leg waxes 💅🏽

HoomanMoomin my mango was slightly too raw

The shoe (provided free by the NHS who also fixed my broken ankle, and provided caring nursing and physio and crutches) is too big and keeps falling off mid step.

Been full of THE THIRST and been tired all day after too much prosecco at a literary awards event last night.

Lunch at Waga today. I ordered a "positive" juice.

They served me some tap water.

Sheesh and I wanted to load up on positivity

I haven't finished making the bunting for the Brownies' trip to London tomorrow evening.

I ate too many calories during the day and now I cannot have a pudding without feeling guilty!

Happypuppy · 07/06/2018 23:37

I ordered a shed load of dresses online to make the choice of one for Royal Ascot.

I’m fretting about posting the rejects back.

I tried my local (going to close) House of Fraser but it was a sweaty hell hole.

Oh also... I ordered a bottle of wine for my dads birthday and bought the 1956 instead of the 1958... thought all was lost until they replied to my email saying they would swap it... that was a tense 12 minutes
