Share your minor complaints here.

Mine is that I can only assume that my DDs key worker at nursery bathes in perfume every morning, as DD reeks of it constantly. Very annoying as now I can only sniff her head for a quick endorphin release on weekends. Luckily my DSs teachers don't do this, so I can still sniff his head.

The birds at my house genuinely harass me after I made the mistake of throwing rice out one time

Why can we not get wine delivered. I mean you can get anything delivered from a Greggs Sausage Roll to a doughnut from Morrisons. Why not booze?

Nothing more devastating than that tbh. Deliveroo some? You'll need to order like 12 bottles to make the fees worth it but the more the merrier

On the days the kids don't come out of nursery smelling of perfume faux parfum they smell of deep cooked dinners instead!

shellyleppard · 10/06/2026 19:43

@worldshottestmom they look in the window if there is nothing on the shed roof 🤣🤣🤣
We have..... blackbirds including 4 babies, magpies, collared doves, wood pigeon (loads) , jackdaws, blue tits, goldfinches and sparrows.

God I can't even imagine what it'll be like to be dealing with my DD when she's that age with the clothes etc. She's 2 and already has a favourite dress etc

God I fucking hate when that happens. I love vinted but its such a risk of what will actually turn up

You can but you'd likely have to remortgage your house to afford the fees

I’ve had a Magnum this evening and it’s made me want another and I can’t justify it Sad

Omg I want to live at your house 😍 I love watching the wildlife here. We have loads of grey squirrels, wood pigeons, magpies, but mostly crows. Everytime I open the window to cook dinner there are 2 that go in my tree and start shouting at me. If I don't throw anything out they go on the grass and get louder. Im considering phoning the police at this point, it's harassment

Ugh god I don't know if I could handle a dinner smell 😩 I even asked the teacher what perfume she wears so I know never to buy it

My neighbour (kind of adjacent to me so I can see his full front of his house whilst sat on my sofa) a couple of months ago attached a HUGE flag of his football team to the front of his house. He also put up a massive, prison style CCTV camera that follows you around (we live in a quiet, leafy culdesac and he already has a ring doorbell). These are eyesores enough but this week, he has added 2 large wind chimes to his porch! They are solar powered so bloody light up after dark as well as making a hideous noise all day 😫

I have started my period while taking the pill, I am taking the pill to stop my period. So all the crappy side effects have been for nothing. And we have no chocolate in the house!
