To ask about your low level disappointments today (light hearted)

[MrsBDarcy]

I'm in bed feeling like shit after the vaccine. Shivering and fever. Husband goes to chippy as he doesn't cook and I can't and thought I might manage a few chips (said in a wavering pathetic voice). He got me some. No salt and vinegar. I'm so upset. I'm going to give up on today and go to sleep. How about you?

No salt and vinegar? That's a huge disappointment!

I went to open the convertible roof on my car. I spent ages fiddling with it, then booked it into the garage.

The sun was shining and I really wanted to go for a drive.

I carried on fiddling and I have fixed it now. But the sun is pretty much gone.

And it wouldn't open*

I thought it was Friday ALL DAY, discovered it was Thursday not long ago. Gutted.

Oh no! Both of these are very very disappointing. I should say I have salt and vinegar here but IT ISN'T THE SAME

No salt and vinegar is UNACCEPTABLE. I'm disappointed that, having decided to have a major clear out and give things away in an eco friendly, community oriented fashion, no bugger turns up when they say they will. Barely anything has left the house yet.

My scales had a blip and knocked a stone off my weight, I knew it wasn't right but for a few seconds it was wonderful. Five minutes later it was back on, and the mirror made sure I didn't remain happily deluded.

Made kedgeree for dinner any my egg was just a bit more than soft/medium boiled so it didn’t ooze over the rice. Very disappointed.

Now I really want chips and I don't even like them

My oven is cooking hotter on one side than the other. I now have a pizza where one side was cooked to perfection & the other side was overcooked.

No salt & vinegar is fucking savage....sack today off & go to bed.

Hope you feel better tomorrow x

It wasn’t sunny on my walk. I got sweaty, but it wasn’t warm enough to take off my coat.

@33goingon64 you need to put a small charge on them (nods knowingly) as if it's free, people think they can dick you about. Bastards! Fuckwits! This is therapeutic though I did go a bit Bridget Jones then

@Letsplough it is isn't it? I'm raging more as time goes on. AND he got the kids a can of pop but not me. I'm famous for getting well via drinking sugary pop too. Bastard. I may leave him.

Had a bad week with reoccuring bloody flare up of chronic condition. Tried to do my yoga routine this afternoon as All Better Now. Flopped in a shaking heap. Swore. Tried not to stuff chocolate.

Succeeding so far...........

hope you're feeling better soon

The delivery of a parcel I was expecting on Friday has likely been delayed slightly. It's nothing I really must have immediately, but you know how it is. Once I order something, I want it as soon as possible, regardless of actual need. Now I'll be checking the tracking relentlessly until it arrives, because one place says it's delayed, but the other place says it's still on schedule. The excitement! The tension!

I made Jack Daniels chicken from a Facebook recipe which claimed it tasted just like tgi Fridays... it did not and it’s really upset me

We've had burger and chips from the local kebab shop tonight.

On the Just Eat order, I specifically requested that my chosen salad (just cucumber) came on the side.

It came in the burger 😔. I had to pick it out and scrape the tomato sauce off it but I couldn't get it all off 😔

Forgot to wish you speedy recovery, OP. Sorry about your husband's blunders! Maybe you can have something slightly special tomorrow to make up for today's disappointment.

Ah feel better soon.
I was a bit gutted that the ice cream van at the park didn’t take cards. Only had the cash to get DS an ice cream. Really fancied a flake 99.

I love salt and vinegar but I get the chip shop to just add salt and then I put my own vinegar on at home so they don’t get soggy. Hope you start to feel better soon.

@ReassureMee I know it’s not the same as the real McCoy but I think I remember reading somewhere that Iceland stock a range of TGI Friday’s products, not sure if the Jack Daniels chicken is one of them.

Every single time I have gone to put the kettle on for a drink today I’ve got called away to deal with something and have got back to discover everyone else has used up the water and not refilled the kettle. The savages!

I took a packed lunch on my walk today and forgot to put the mixed nuts in. Devastating.

I put my running things on this morning intending to do my next C25K instalment sometime today. Work has been busy though so I have not made time. I am disappointed in myself for this and disappointed that I have felt slightly cold all day as running leggings are not warm and snuggly like the woolly tights I usually inhabit.
Compounded by the general disappointment of being on a fasting day today (5:2) which always feels like a damp squib without a few lovely biscuits to see me through.
Meh, I'll go to bed soon.

Hope you feel better:)
I spent fricking forever yesterday making a happy/sad face craft with my toddler for 'zoom playgroup' today only to get distracted and log in 10 minutes late today, missing the 'show your crafts' part
