I pushed the strawberries right to the back of the fridge and now they're frozen strawberries. I had to use raspberries in my smoothy instead. Really, it's just like a third world country.

This morning, when tying up my hair, I noticed that the elastic had lost most of it's stretch and rather than my habitual double-twist, I had to do three twists to get it secure.

It totally upset my routine and I couldn't concentrate at all whilst I was moisturising.

I find the worst bit is when I get mascara in my beard.

The avocado slices keep falling off my piri-piri hummus on toast

I typed the wrong number into the vending machine and got a kitKat instead of a Twix

Don't get your Snickers in a Twix!

We are getting very cross about who is going to cover WW1 in our local monthly news organ.

Germanwings no longer do a flight at $REASONABLY_EARLY o'clock on a Monday, from MAN to CGN.

I may end up flying from another airport*...

*Yes, I realize the sensible option is NOT to fly, but then that doesn't occur to my manager!

Dealing with vending machines is no Picnic.

That's hardly giving him a boost, is it?

I think that we should be a bit Kinder to Wunja. He's probably suffering Allsorts of issues and might even Flake out.

He'll be needing a wee Refresher and hopefully he'll get his Prize next time he gets a bout of the Munchies.

I've just used the last of the Monmouth's coffee beans. If I don't drive 5 miles to the deli at lunchtime to pick up a suitable replacement bag of beans I will have to have instant Coffee tomorrow morning.

Charlotte · « **Reply #314 on:** 07 February, 2014, 11:23:39 am »

Oh Pat - that's dreadful! I shall be popping into Monmouth in Covent Garden this afternoon for a couple of bags of my usual - I can't imagine having to cope with instant.

Life without good coffee isn't really living. It's just existing.

pcolbeck · « **Reply #315 on:** 07 February, 2014, 11:26:49 am »

It says something about my life that the nearest place I pass frequently that sells decent coffee beans is one of the stalls at St Pancras which is 200 miles from where I live.

clarion · « **Reply #316 on:** 07 February, 2014, 11:28:36 am »

Well, then, you don't belong in this thread at all - you don't even live in the First World!

pcolbeck · « **Reply #317 on:** 07 February, 2014, 11:38:24 am »

Well as I said there is a deli with artisan roast beans in Malton 5 miles away but I only go shopping when I have to. Kings Cross / St Pancras on the other hand I spend a fair amount of time kicking around due to seeing customers in London.

I was too upset last night to relate the worst part of the vending machine woes.
The Kitkat spiral turned impotently as there was no bar in the first spot.

clarion · « **Reply #319 on:** 07 February, 2014, 02:27:55 pm »

A sort of Twirl?

Ruth · « **Reply #320 on:** 07 February, 2014, 02:44:50 pm »

A related catastrophe today. I really really wanted a mint Aero and thought about it all the way through waiting for my prescription, then went out of my way to go in the paper shop and get my mint Aero, and they didn't have any.

I had to have a double decker instead.

clarion · « **Reply #321 on:** 07 February, 2014, 02:49:02 pm »

Well, that's no compensation. It's not the same sort of thing at all.

Bought a load of cheap CDs in HMV Leeds on Wednesday. Though I might play one this afternoon but forgot we no longer have a CD player and I will have to rip them first.

Don't usually watch commercial channels, but Ch4 has some decent programmes (besides the indecent ones).

Why the f..k is the sound volume during the ads double the normal level? Sooo much effort to hit the mute button while the ads are on.
