I know we're lucky to live in a developed country so please don't attack me or anyone else for posting on this thread but sometimes things happen that can still be annoying.

So what daft first world problems wind you up?

The water coming into the toilet cistern is very cold atm but the air in the bathroom is warm so condensation forms on the cistern then drips onto the floor making puddles.

Crumbs landing on my worktop---I haven't been anywhere near a loaf !

Either of us will go outside as it’s cold, and the kitchen bin needs emptying.It’s a battle of wills.

I had to Google Ricard. Does that make me an oik?

I would have to google it (cba) I immediately thought of Jean Luc, but that’s Picard.

I can't hear the TV when I'm eating Kettle crisps. I have to find quieter food or pause the TV while I'm eating!

Haha!?
Find a quieter snack, porridge?

My local Waitrose have sold out of Nduja paste.

No idea what that is?......have you?

Have you tried sucking them Jane?
When I speak to the Alexa in my kitchen, the Alexa in my dining room thinks I am talking to her as well and they both come on. To add to my irritation, there is a time lapse between the two.

Thankyou BlueSky I’m going to have a look.

Also some brown bread in the meantime won’t hurt them.

BlueSky Sat 23-Jan-21 13:01:24

Tanith I’ve ordered mine on Amaz, saves you carting it home as well!

My guitar kept un-tuning when the central heating was on so I had to buy a better guitar. Can't believe I'm even saying this!

DH came into my dressing room when I was doing my make up to touch up the paintwork (the walls not me) bloody irritating - cant get a moments peace. I did give myself a bit of a telling off!!

metlotgran I heard she had featured it on her cookery show.
I’ve been buying it for a few years and never had an issue!
Bloody Nigella.

Apparently this week she featured a recipe for Bitter Orange tart ?! Was it on Wednesday ?

I'm so pleased it is has been found smile

Relief, husband just gone to make a fry up, noticed I’d cleaned the hob, ring was in the little sink tidy thing for sponge etc.....phew, note to self, don’t do cleaning!
Thank you for your ideas, bathroom, bed and bin were checked...chair and sofa moved. I am so relieved, it’s called a keeper ring, my husband bought it for my 60th as apparently I’m a keeper ? so great sentimental value.

Waitrose don't deliver Ricard.

You have quite ruined my dy Grumppa ???

Have you been in the freezer and checked?? I lost a ring and found it at the bottom of mine. It must have slipped off when I went to fetch something and then made it's way to the bottom basket over the next few weeks. One day I opened the door to the freezer and there it was glinting at me. smile

I’ve run out of bird food and I can’t risk a shop. Poor things keep looking for me sitting on the garage roof looking at me in the kitchen. ??? even the Parakeets are out there making a helluva racket.
