In May my house was flooded from the loft down into three bedrooms which were ruined my furniture had to go into storage and clothes which I have needed since are not here I have no lights no sockets and no radiators which have been disconected I have had to. Sleep on a blow up bed since May and worst of all no friends able to come to stay .The various workmen who have come and gone have ruined my carpets but I have coped with it all as I just wanted it put right, so why tonight after cooking my meal which I was really looking forward to did I totally lose the plot when the peppermill poured out peppercorns all over my dinner and kitchen floor I think it was the last straw. Have you ever flipped over something trivial which makes you feel daft

Nothing as major as you ladies have had to deal with but after a period of prolonged stress I had to take all the (then small) children to the supermarket with me.
When packing up at the checkout they were messing around & I just shoved everything in the trolley & left the shop. Just as we got outside a precariously perched fish pie fell out of the trolley & "exploded" everywhere (as did i).
This has gone down in the family annals as the "fish pie moment" & even now 25 years later there are murmurings about a repeat of the fish pie moment if my brow starts to darken!
Hope that things improve for you soon Roses

LittlemoO, I wish I could have been there for you. If there is anything I can do let me know. I understand.
