AIBU, to ask you to share your first world problems here?

[Schooldilemma2345]

Ok, first of all I want to acknowledge that this is a lighthearted thread. I know there are much bigger issues to worry about at the moment but I’m feeling like the little things might just push me over the edge and I thought some of you might be feeling the same.

So, go ahead and vent here, this is a safe space to share your most first world problems, they can be as shallow and as inconsequential as you like- no judgement!

I’ll kick off with….

I just bought a new mascara and it’s got a sodding stickle brick for a wand- apparently that’s a thing and people actually find it effective- well I hate it and I haven’t got time to buy another one.

I’ve just found out that people actually have spread sheets to log their present buying- I think that would have been really useful as I can’t work out if my kids have got even/equivalent presents and it’s doing my head in. Too late now though. Would have been useful in November!

I’m sick of seeing super fit, smiley people sprinting around all bouncy, out running. I’ve had a cold for 3 weeks (deffo not covid) and I can’t find time to go for a run, plus I’m too ill. And, if I did, the cold air makes me cough and splutter and these people just make me feel inadequate.

Ok, your go..,,

My velvetiser came and insisted of having a black handle, button and logo they were silver 😆

Oh I'm all in for this. The little things will be the death of me for sure. My whinges for today are as follows -

• I've put a jumper on to keep warm, but all it is doing is making my armpits sweaty
• fucking elf on the shelf!
• ordered a boatload of Christmas presents for ExDH to tell me he's already bought half of it 😒
• my car's engine maintenance light had come on and I despair to think of what's wrong with the bloody thing now

Looking forward to seeing others moans!

I don't know if my biscotti are too soft.

I forgot to order ketchup with my JustEat McDs breakfast!! Disclaimer, in the office today after last nights work do!

I was really excited about M and S cheesy beans on toast canapes - and they had sold out.

I’m still in bed procrastinating because I feel burnt out instead of getting up to make shed loads of money working on a client project I actually enjoy.

Oh and the tumble dryer is pinging it’s done and keeps playing its annoying jingle tune. I’m too burnt out to go turn it off.

I’ll be back later. I’m sure there are much more.

I have to walk to the Mcdonald's instead of going through the drive through: they are making wider roads.
Ok, I really like this thread.
I have lost a well respected mentor this week, yet I just smiled. Thank you Mumsnetters.

I've bought tilted food and water bowls for my puppy online and they're fucking massive.Cba to send back and everytime I remember I get pissed off.

I have too many contracts to look at. It's snowing and what I really want to do is make a baileys hot choc and sit by the twinkly xmas tree with my kindle.

Somehow I went to work today with just one hand with nail polish on.

I seem to have developed mild eczema on my eyelids. I have a beauty advent calendar and have been using alllll the products, so I can't tell which one has caused it!

I just had elective plastic surgery (a breast reduction and lift and tummy tuck) and I can't find a good brownie anywhere (I live in Portugal).

And our (lovely!!) cleaner can't come this week because her father-in-law is sick and I really want a clean house- and legitimately can't do it myself.

My mum has just been away for a lovely festive weekend break and bought herself the same jumper I had already bought her for Christmas, so now I need to find time to return it and buy her something new

Still waiting on the wine delivery, it was meant to have been here on Wednesday (bloody Yodel)

Also I have run out of mindless rubbish to watch.

Oh and my little robot vacuum doesn't seem to be working.

Have I mentioned the lack of good brownies?!

I've got a 2kg tin of quality street and it's making me fat.

My wine delivery arrived (sorry knackeredcat) but I don't have enough space in the wine rack to store it all.

We've got to post Christmas cards today and I begrudge paying the price of 1st class stamps for them so I've got to tramp down to the post office to send them 2nd class. /whinge

Oh, and I can't work out why I've started enjoying Top Gear - do I fancy Freddie Flintoff or Paddy McGuiness more?

The Tesco Finest Speculoos Tarts in the Christmas range (next to the luxury mince pies) are utterly incredible and I didn't take advantage of the 3 for 2 as they looked too fattening.

So now I will have to go back for 3 additional boxes and eat even more of them than if I was weak willed to start with.

I'm full of a cold
Ds is full of a cold
I have to do housework
Dd is whinging about paying me petrol money for taking her to work and back

Living without a washing machine for over a week for then your dc misses the delivery. Had to wait a few days longer… but all sorted now.

Greedy Purplecat J stole the renal food of Purplecat W and threw up all over the carpet. I have had about 8 emails now about a parcel delivery from Royal Mail, but no actual delivery. I have a mental busy day at work but CBA and am faffing about on here…. And breathe…..

My command hooks keep falling down and I broke a beautiful fortnum and mason bauble

I'm getting my booster this afternoon so wore a denim top with elasticated 3/4 length sleeves so I can pull it up.
The sleeves keep riding up under my cardi and annoying me.
