Because I have cut my thumb, opening some catfood, and it really, really, really hurts

I think I can manage without going to the emergency department though, but I am going to moan for quite a long time 😁

My wallets too small for my 50s and my diamond shoes are too tight! Chandler Bing to Ross ..(RIP MP)
Sorry couldn't resist 😜
Trying to think of a problem.. and..I have it!
I have booked 2 Christmas delivery slots with 2 supermarkets.. don't know which one to keep🙈
Waitrose doesn't have everything I want BUT although Sainsbury's does.. I prefer the choices at Waitrose.
Cringing with shame..either choice means I will have to go to the shops myself on Christmas Eve.. and I had planned to get drunk on Bailey's and Vodka..

DilemmaDelilah · 03/11/2023 21:48

Why not keep both the Christmas slots? I have, in the past. If you have them on separate days you can add the things that didn't arrive to the other shop.

DS is moving into a house share tomorrow.

He’s 20, will be hanging out with his friends 24/7 and he needs the confidence boost and independence.

But he’s my only child and I kind of want to cry.

I broke a nail 😭. Only had them done on weds and its a gel manicure with builder gel so all I can do is wait until my tech can fit me in for a repair. I've clipped and filed it, but it's now a lot shorter than the rest of my nails ☹️

We have no power in our bedroom and all I want to do is lie in bed watching shitty TV.

I have been invited to a wedding, a colleague of DH and I cant decide whether to get dressed first and drive 2 hours in my outfit with my make up getting messy, or wear comfy clothes but get dressed in a garage toilet somewhere near the church. Life is full of really hard choices 😫

The artisan bakery near me doesn't do the bread I want for tomorrow's gathering on a Saturday.

I’ve ordered some lovely bathroom tiles but they are too big. I have moved into a lovely house and everything is great but fir some reason this has upset me greatly . ….they only cost me 25 quid

I can’t find the belt for my dressing gown. It really annoys me

Jewelanemone · 03/11/2023 22:05

Husband and I are currently struggling with jetlag after a 16 night holiday in Indonesia. To avoid falling asleep early on the sofa we've been out drinking cocktails.

jazzhands84 · 03/11/2023 22:07

My label maker has stopped working.

Me too. 😔

RicherThanYews · 03/11/2023 22:12

My car broke down because its a piece of crap and the seller has disappeared so now I can't go to Mass.

I have serious problems I could actually moan about so the first one seems tame in comparison, this is quite cathartic.

Aposterhasnoname · 03/11/2023 22:15

I’m going away for the weekend tomorrow and the leather jacket I want to wear in the evening will make my bag too heavy to carry round till we can check into the hotel.

Bonjovispjs · 03/11/2023 22:16

My favourite singer did an Instagram live today and I missed it 😢

Took the ponies in the school to do some ppe work and tried leading them rather than long reining (being broken to ride)

They were very confused as they normally only get led in from the field and did not understand us wanting them to go faster and do little jumps at all.

Had to long rein them instead. Took 3 hours instead of 1 and I swear we looked like this for most of it (both actually experienced but today...dreadful!)

I need to get out of my warm bed to fetch my kindle from downstairs. Earlier I spilt coffee granules on my worktop which went everywhere . Its been a taxing evening…

TheDogsMother · 03/11/2023 22:32

Sainsburys delivery was late so I was late meeting friends at the local pub. That's quite first world.

Sumerian · 03/11/2023 22:33

We ran out of the nice coffee beans, so have just had to fill the machine with some normal ones. I am already feeling despondent about tomorrow morning's cup of slightly sub par coffee

tapdancingmum · 03/11/2023 22:33

My wordle and connections weren't working earlier.

RumNotRun · 03/11/2023 22:39

@ADHDGURL instead of (or as well as) Baileys, try vanilla vodka mixed with Kahlua. It's like a grown-up version of Baileys. Someone on here recommended it a few years ago.

I noticed today that my heated steering wheel has a cold patch on the right hand side. Sigh.

Have jet lag after returning from a 5 star, all inclusive holiday in Mexico. 🤣🤪

Don't think it would be creamy enough. And taste too much of coffee. Might try Malibu with Kahlua... that could work
