I’m quietly sulking because ds ordered me the wrong pizza. Not only did it have mushrooms on it he ordered it with cheese sauce on the base rather than standard tomato pizza sauce. It was like eating a carbonara sandwich.

I didn’t want ds to feel bad so told him it’s not a problem but now he’s away in his room I’m being sulky and petulant and not letting DH cheer me up with dessert offerings from the freezer 🤣

Sulking because my cancer is incurable.

I'm sulking because Dh offered me a tea and I asked for a peppermint tea but I always like it in my large, pretty glass cup and he served it up in the regular tea mug!! Bloody nerve of him!!

I'm sulking because it's my first day off work and I spent all of it asleep due to being unwell with a stomach bug. I'm feeling 90% better now but I'm annoyed at having wasted a whole day when I have so much to do

Last night, but I sulked because they were out of cola bottles at the cinema pick’n mix.

me too.

Sulked since this morning when DH went to Costa and got me a Nutcracker caramel latte instead of a nutcracker caramel hot chocolate. Then he tried to lie and say it was hot chocolate when he tasted it.

My cat ran off with my tuna sandwich and dragged it across the floor. We have no more bread 😭

SocksAndTheCity · 15/11/2024 23:26

I sulked earlier because I couldn't find the peanut butter in Sainsbury's so didn't buy any and then when I got back I wanted peanut butter and there wasn't any 🤨.

I'm being pathetic because I've got a cold starting. My throat is sore and my nose is sneezy and snotty.

ThinWomansBrain · 15/11/2024 23:32

Feeling really down because a charity that I've volunteered for for a few years is probably need to go down the insolvency route.
A peaceful space, and they do amazing work.

Nowaynora · 15/11/2024 23:35

I'm being pathetic about the cold I've come down with today, the second in only a few weeks 😡 I start a new job on Monday so really didn't need it, hoping against hope it's a quick/mild one and I feel better by then 🤞

RechargeableGnu · 15/11/2024 23:36

5 episodes of MAFS UK. Completely addicted 😳

Yep, me too! Knew it was coming as I couldn’t get warm and kept going to bed really early with no energy.
I am watery of eye, runny of nose and look like shite😷🤧

CheerfulBunny · 15/11/2024 23:40

Really mardy and out of sorts today. Shitty meno grumps got the better of me at work and I ended up getting overwhelmed and going off sick. Never done that before. Ten years of peri bollocks and now six months without a period and still feel rubbish. Want my life back 😔

GiddyRobin · 15/11/2024 23:41

I'm sulking because DH has run me a lovely late night bath, but I picked up the wrong bath bomb in Lush. Luckily DH bought me lovely oils, but I wanted the Intergalactic bomb and accidentally grabbed Shoot for the Stars.

<Siiiigh>

NationMcKinley · 16/11/2024 08:09

I’m sulking because we’ve got a giant family wedding today and I’ve just got a nasty peri stealth period so feel all bloated and uncomfortable. Yay.

He just walked through the door with a huge bouquet of roses, the things to make the pistachio bar (minus the kataifi😂) , a McDonald's because my dinner came out crap, and a big box of Ferrero rochers. I feel guilty for crying now!🤣🥹

Ah he’s definitely a keeper ❤️

Hatty65 · 16/11/2024 16:30

I'm so sorry for all of you with genuine illnesses, bereavements, worries and problems - and HUGE thanks to all those who tagged me with sympathy (or laughter) at my 'hot water bottle' sulk. It clearly rang a bell for lots of folks.

I feel slightly ashamed of myself, because it's obviously trivial - and also, this morning I brought the bloody hot water bottle downstairs with me and emptied it.

So this evening, when I'm cold and decide I need a hot water bottle I won't have to traipse up the stairs to fetch it. I'll just need to haul myself off the sofa and go fill it.

You can (apparently) teach an old dog new tricks.😂

I'm supposed to be going to the circus with my children tomorrow, already paid 90 euros for our tickets and transport, and now I'm ill and feel fairly certain I won't feel well enough to go anywhere tomorrow :(

I also still have to pick my daughter up from the bus stop later this evening, no idea what time, and I can't bear the thought of getting up and going as I feel so pathetically weak.

citychick · 17/11/2024 19:44

I am sulking because I had to have words with a mum at a leisure centre about leaving her kids unattended. Large sports hall, lots of adults, left her kids for us to babysit over the last 2 weeks. I politely asked that she doesn't do that again as we are not responsible for the welfare of her children. She was quite indignant that she could do it, but relented and stayed with them.
Sick and tired of folk leaving their kids for others to mind. Ugh. I am sulking.

Merryoldgoat · 17/11/2024 19:45

I’m sulking because I don’t have a cordless vacuum cleaner.

ohyesido · 17/11/2024 19:47

Fuming because I just checked my emails after being away for a week. 3 department managers, none of whom I report to, have all forwarded on an email (which I already received from the sender directly) demanding that I deal with it and update them.

This is despite my out of office informing everyone that I am away until 18 November with no access to emails.

MillyMichaelson · 17/11/2024 19:48

I'm sulking because I'm an amateur photographer and have been suddenly hit with terrible imposter syndrome.

I'm sitting on about 300 photos from the weekend, and can't see how to make any of them look good enough.

So many amazing photographers around, I don't know what I was thinking trying to imitate them.

So I've eaten a giant bag of Camembert and black pepper crisps, so now get to add 'feeling fat tmrw' to my list of woes.

Dontlletmedownbruce · 17/11/2024 19:49

I'm sulking because my weight loss plan is going so badly. I was feeling smug and tired after going to the gym then had to collect Dc and run to grocery shop, all a bit hectic so i rewarded myself with some chocolate. Now I am so angry I'm messed up yet again. I'm so annoyed with myself I'm contemplating a packet of crisps.
