Life's little disappointments?

[IsChippyMintonExDirectory]

Today I had a Krispy Kreme donut for the first time. Bleurgh. £1.25 of mediocre-ness. I thought it would be a little slice of heaven.

Also disappointing:
Lukewarm baths when you know that no amount of adding hot water will make it hot enough
The cherry blossom tree in the front garden refusing to blossom with the rest of the street
Not fitting into your pre-baby clothes despite being back to your pre-baby weight (stupid widened hips!)
When you order a curry or sticky toffee pudding and it has the nerve to contain raisins.

Any more?

When someone buys you underwear that's too small.
Realizing that the toilet paper is out and you have to go all the way downstairs and faff behind the fridge to get some more.
making a cup of tea and then realizing the milk is bad (it's come out of the carton as a solid lump)
Lottery tickets.
realizing there is only about 2 hours in any given year it is suitable to wear your faux fur gilet.
Having a new handbag on its first outing and it starts to rain.
Realizing that your umbrella is broken after it starts pouring down.
Having Burger King for breakfast.

The new job that turns out to be suspiciously like the old, just with a different name on the door.

Bogey - yes! I do this and my heart sinks every time

YY to unmade beds and non-dippy eggs, although almost worse for me is slightly underdone eggs, so the dippy yolk is mixed with slimey half-set white.

Bought Pantene smooth &sleek for the first and last time, its horrible! Made my scalp dry and itchy after only one use.

Waking up just too late to cycle to work, and feeling guilty and under exercised.

Also just realising you've tumble dried your cyccling shorts, so that's them fucked.

Missing the bin men. :(

Exercising and eating well all week, only to discover you have gained three pounds at weigh in

Hearing the unmistakeable sound of your cat vomiting..somewhere..

Stepping in poo, while wearing your adorable new spring sandals..

Getting a rental DVD in the post which isn't on your High Priority list.

Instead it's that film you put on your list ages ago, and now you can't really remember why you wanted to see it. Finding the time to watch the damn thing seems like another chore, not a treat.

Expecting to bite into a lovely jammy,sugary,moist doughnut and it being dry, bland with minuscule amount of jam

Pattisserie Valerie.

Pies with no side or bottom pastry.

Forgetting to get my supermarket cards swiped at the checkout. shey02 I HATE missing the binmen too (but it's even worse if they won't empty my bin because I've infringed regulations... that happened a couple of months ago.
Still cooking when Coronation Street is starting. I don't even like Coronation Street all that much any more, but I still hate missing the beginning.
Waking up and hoping I'll drift off again without having to get up and wake myself up properly, going for a pee... then finding I just HAVE to anyway.

Most fruit teas are vile because they all contain Hibiscus, which leave a funny taste in your mouth.

Lemon and ginger doesn't and has a lovely kick.

Random tissue in the dark wash is my top grrrrrrrr.

When the baby has just started a nap and someone you don't feel like talking to comes and chats for ages while your precious seconds slip past.

'Non dippy' dippy eggs in any form (although poached makes me the most sad - you cut in and... oh!)

Cadburys Whole Nut - never enough nuts. Aldi's Rich Almond one though - , nut lovers heaven.

DS always looking down when I have a super picture of both DC all set up

Fucking IT slow fucking, nightmare systems that work then don't work then work then change then sloooooooow, then the printer doesn't print it on the right sized paper, then it's all misshaped, then some new process or system which makes everything slower and more confusing - god, that feels better, sorry!

Baking an apple pie, then dropping it on the floor as you get it out the oven.

Fush, I love that Aldi almond chocolate bar. It's delicious. I whizz it in the food processor and use it as a cake/ice cream topping.

I love the Aldi almond chocolate too. Galaxy nut crunch is lovely too though, far nicer than Dairy Milk whole nut.

Slowly savouring a glass of wine/biscuit or other treat only for it to 'go down the wrong way' on the last mouthful so you end up coughing and spluttering

Going into a thread on Mumsnet which looks exciting but is actually v dull

My DH taking his trousers off

Any JML product

Out of season strawberries

Gulliver's Land "theme park" - possibly the shittest day out ever

And Hyde Park Winter Wonderland cough Chavland

Rainforest Cafe: pile of poo and the kids were scared of the "hilarious" animatronic characters

Caving in to chocolate desire and walking to the corner shop to find it's shut

Kitty, what's wrong with your DH taking his trousers off?!

For me it's damp, horrid petrol station sandwiches,
Going back to bed for a very rare lie in and waking up with a stinking headache
Thinking you look great then catching a look at yourself in a mirror looking shocking
Making some delicious dinner then ruining it at the very last second by putting too much chilli in

The sheets one though, none on the bed when you're really knackered- that has to be the worst!

Finding a fantastic item of clothing that will really suit you and goes with everything in your wardrobe, only to find that one size is too small and the next is too big.

So in a fit of desperate optimism you try both sizes on again, only to confirm that it definitely, definitely doesn't fit.
