I need to break up with my yoga class. A new place has opened one street away from my house which is much more convenient, but going there would mean not going to the one in town any more. What is one to do!!!

Whatever you do, Morissette - perhaps you should consider some kind of bereavement counselling at this difficult time.

I couldn't get evening tickets to Grimm Tales in Shoreditch, so I'll have to go to a matinee performance.

I’ve got some grim tales from Shoreditch I could tell you one evening if that would help?

My Tesco Finest pizza didn't come with an olive oil drizzler.

Perhaps that was a mercy. Did you have any basil-infused oil to hand?

I am trying to 'report from home' but the Sky box keeps saying 'satellite signal not being received'

How the hell am I supposed to cope? I really don't want to break into my unwatched episodes of 'True Detective' as I am saving them for Saturday night.

A FWP is going to be solved.

I've just had my mum on the phone ranting about the fact that she couldn't get tahini in her local Tesco megastore this morning.

Please all spare a thought for her at this time.

My earring rattles against the new style iPhone earbuds when I'm running.

There was no dark chocolate almond milk in the local Waitrose this evening.

Door opening etiquette: it's easier to hold a door open for somebody when it opens towards you.
Approaching a door that opens away from me, I can see a woman coming the other way on the other side. I'm going to get there slightly before her. Do I:
a) Try to hold it open with one arm raised and awkwardly stand back as she ducks through while being forced to smell my armpit
b) Stand there like a lemon giving her no option but to hold it open for me, or
c) Just barge through apologising?

Hold the door and be greeted by the phrase - 'thank you, you must be English'. (In the Nationalteatret underground station in Oslo wearing native clothing.)

After Saturday's tumble I need to replace my bar tape, but I can't get any in Celeste.

Just dropped my bircher muesli on the floor of Stansted airport.

They had no creme eggs at the shop.

They did in our local co-op, yesterday, 3 for a squid.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened...

Eccentrica Gallumbits · « **Reply #418 on:** 20 April, 2014, 11:18:58 pm »

It landed lid side down and when I picked it up, the lid came off and muesli poured out all over the floor. I mopped it up as best I could with a grubby tissue from my bag. It was the most harrowing incident of my life.

Our dishwasher caught fire last night
I just had to wash some by hand

Oh rr, that is truly appalling. You're not alone though sweetie. We had to call a little man out to ours last week.

Does no-one stock buckwheat flour these days? We can't even find it in Waitrose!

Eccentrica Gallumbits · « **Reply #423 on:** 21 April, 2014, 10:52:52 am »

Perhaps those prominent media people can do something about it once they've finished writing about David Cameron's religious statements.

It took three visits and two different little men to fix ours when it gave up the other week. It was a tough time, I can tell you.
