Stupidest ways your day has been ruined.

[TimeAtTheBar]

Dh and both boys are away this weekend.

I was meant to go out lunch with a friend but I’ve woken up with a stinking cold and headache.

I thought instead I’d have a bit of a duvet day. I wanted to change the sheets as I had dreadful night sweats last night. Second best sheets on the bed so I was looking forward to putting my freshly washed and ironed 800 thread count Egyptian cotton set back on.

No where to be seen. On investigation 18yo DD has put them on her bed.

I’ve taken them back but now have to wash and iron them again.

My duvet day is now a laundry day. Tempted to just crack open the wine in a bit and forget the whole thing.

Anyone else had a disappointing day? This is almost worse than the time my much anticipated hot bubble bath ran cold 😭

Sad bump.

What's the AIBU?

Tbh this would make an interesting Chat thread.

Hope you can find some snuggly joy in your day.💐

Oh I thought I had posted in chat.

🤦🏻‍♀️

Erm, AIBU to feel like my whole weekend has been ruined?

<lighthearted though>

I don't mind as much if the day is ruined earlier on because there's still time to salvage it; However when I've had a brilliant day and something happens later on to ruin it. I simple can't let it go, it boils my piss!

I wanted to settle down and listen to the next book in the series I am listening to on Audible.
Pots washed
Lunch for the following day at work sorted
Low lights
Cheese, crackers , pickles etc
Glass of wine (only time I drink wine )
All comfy
Go to download new book and realise I am out of credits 🙁

Noooo!

My father is very unwell. The type of unwell that’s not going to end with him getting better.

Ive been dragging my husband and young baby down the country to stay with him and my mother every weekend since we got the diagnosis. My sister who lives abroad is coming home this weekend to stay there so I decided we’d have the weekend off and do something lovely like going out for breakfast and down to the rugby club to introduce the baby to our friends.

Baby had just woken up from a nap and we were about to go get ready when my mother leaves a voice note with an update on my Dad and a message to ring now. So I ring and it’s a rant about the mobile phone company, she’s signed him up to some plan and they keep taking money and they’re about to take more and I’ve to ring them to sort it out. Except I can’t, they won’t speak to me because I’m not him and I’m not there to put him on the phone to okay it and who the fuck wants to spend their morning fixing something that they should have been consulted about before they just bloody signed up to it. Do I sound petty? Well some background- my mother has ongoing issues with her phone which I always have to sort because she’s deaf and can’t speak to them. I’ve had texts about her bloody phone when I’ve been up a mountain on holiday, before I went in to give birth etc. and I’m sick of it. But I do it because I’m a dutiful daughter.

This took so much time that now the baby wanted another feed and has gone back to sleep and I don’t want to wake her to go out. And I’m sitting here seething - every fucking phone call these days is just about some other job that I have to do and I’m beginning to resent it. Doesn’t help that my father is increasingly short tempered and unreasonable. Argh, fucking fuming here, day ruined.

DH and I were due to go out today for a lovely lunch and cocktails for delayed wedding anniversary celebration because DH was working last weekend.
I have been awake since 4.00am because DS1 forgot his key!
Got out of bed and have crippoling sciatica!
I have only ever had this once before and it was excruciating.
Taken painkillers which make me feel sick.
Feeling very sorry for myself.

I hope your days got better. @Pollywoddles im so sorry to hear about your dad. @Rebelmcstreettuff haooy belated anniversary!

Mine was ok in the end except I’ve just ordered Chinese and they forgot the pancakes for the duck. I’ve complained and they’ve refunded the whole amount.

Not sure if that’s a win or a lose.

Bedding is washed dried and on the bed 🏆

I was at work today and it was crazy busy. We decided to treat ourselves to a Deliveroo lunch.
Everyone’s except mine arrived.
I was refunded and I had a sandwich with me anyway but that wasn’t the point. I wanted my nice Deliveroo lunch.

My day hasn't really been ruined but wasted ... took the afternoon off work (I work every Saturday and it's quite hard to get the time off but I managed today) as I wanted to watch my DS play cricket before he returns to Uni ... for some reason I agreed with DH and DS that instead we would watch another game tomorrow... but I've ended up wasting my afternoon off - having a nap and mumsnetting and now rain forecast so there won't be any cricket tomorrow .

Mines not ruined but when I got the curly fries out of the oven I caught my
thumb on the hot tray and dropped the whole lot of curly fries on the floor 😢

20 second rule appts surely?

@TimeAtTheBar did you put new sheets on DD's bed or just leave her without any ???!!!👀👀

@TimeAtTheBar Thanks lovely, just back from the club, the day didn’t turn out too badly on the end and I’ll handle it better next time hopefully.

I’d take the refund as a win and enjoy your lovely fresh sheets tonight.

Play stupid games; win stupid prizes. She knows my they’re my sheets, they are kept under my bed. She couldn’t be arsed to wash and dry any of hers.

There are spare clean sheets in the airing cupboard.

I spilled my entire coffee this morning

My husband and I separated this week. He was meant to see the children today for the first time this week and is a no show. Apparently, he hadn't realised. Epic fail.

No way I'd iron sheets

Lower your standards and your days are not easily ruined 😉

😱😱😭😭

Kill him.

@DeanStockwelll you can return books to Audible and get credits back

That would definitely ruin my day!

These are the only thing I ever iron. It makes them so soft and luxurious. I actually didn’t iron them today; part of the reason I was so sad is that I’d ironed them for no reason. They were all scrumpled on DDs bed 🤦🏻‍♀️

What a cunt. I will never understand these people. If I hadn't seen my children all week I'd be counting down the seconds.
