Mine today is that my wee robot vacuum cleaner was hiding under a chest of drawers - took me ages to find it. Ruined my whole morning Grin

I wanted to have avocado toast for breakfast and it’s mushy 😩

I have to get out of the house for 2 hours this afternoon so my cleaner can come in and clean. It's an inconvenience.

Dh hasnt ordered a replacement lid for the slow cooker like he said he would. Plus he bought too many new pans. We needed one!

I hate The phrase first world.. it implies we are superior to other countries

I don't have enough cupboard space for all my dog's treats.

I need to pack for holiday on Friday.
It means effort and thought.
I’m busy.
Mumsnet keeps me busy.

I need to hire someone to fit the threshold bars between my carpets because they are all coming loose and ill need to buy bigger fitting bars so it doesn't happen again.

That baby sensory that me and DD have done since she was 12 weeks has stopped due to covid. It's due to restart in August but she's now too old (they've let us transfer the unused sessions to toddler sense when that starts) but...... She didn't get to have the baby sensory graduation and have a photo in her cap and gown.

🤣🤣 Yes major first world problems

I went on a yoga retreat yesterday and now I really really want my own yurt.

An American friend mentioned some Trader Joe’s cookies on Facebook, and I really want them but no one stocks them in this country. It’s soooo unfair.

The wall mount for my new cordless dyson doesn't have enough space to house all the accessories at the same time. I've had to order an expansion thing on amazon and I'm
annoyed at paying £15 extra but I can't choose which accessories should be left off the display.

Running out of coffee!

I didn't have quite enough ham to make a full sandwich so had to spread it about a bit and consequently it didn't taste as lovely as it usually does.

I should have had only one slice of bread and stuffed it full of ham and had only one sandwich, but instead, because I'm so bloody greedy, I had my usual 2 slices of bread resulting in a somewhat insufficiently satisfying luncheon.

planetfedup · 20/07/2020 13:38

notheragain4 love it - my friend used to have the same issue!

They had sold out of the lovely royal blue flip flops, so I had to get the pink ones instead.

I will feel unsettled about this for some time.

dogcatwolf · 20/07/2020 13:42

DH made the hot tub too hot last night. It's still too hot today and the weather is going to be 32 degrees and I wanted to use it as more of a paddling pool for ds. Grin

No it doesn’t. It does exactly the opposite, it puts into perspective the small things we complain about compared to real issues for people coping with real problems.

Not being able to get an online slot for tip so I can clear out spare room and put house on market

ImNotWhoYouThinkIam · 20/07/2020 13:47

Im at Pontin's and it's a dump. I vowed never to come again but a friend paid so I figured it would be ok.

Roselilly36 · 20/07/2020 13:50

Pontins you have my sympathy. We have run out of ketchup, not told my DS’s yet!

My online clothes order hasn't arrived.
