Ours had only died because we caught a piece of plastic from the organic hummus tub in it, since we wash them before recycling.

Trip to London. Do I leave the shoe-trees in the brogues or not? They add extra weight, but what the hell – there's more than enough room in the car.

Ok Tesco, I understand the need to stir and recover my microwave ready meal midway through heating. But to do that I really need a film cover that stay vaguely in one piece rather than splitting everywhere I try to peel it back  ::-)

A new Windows 7 update at m workplace has changed the lock screen - instead of pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del and then typing in my password, I now have to press Ctrl-Alt-Del, then press Enter, and then type in my password.

Four years of muscle memory wasted :(

We have recently been subjected to a similar indignity - I now need to enter my user name every single time I unlock my computer.

Seven extra characters.  Maybe as many as twenty times a day.  I don't know how we're going to carry on.

Quite.  The mere mention of "Organic", "Tagine" , "Hummus" or "Guildford" can raise a First-World problem to unbearable levels.

Julian scored a Pair (I'm tempted to score it Three-of-a-kind because it's a problem involving a Dish-washer and Organic Hummus).

Let's just hope the breakdown didn't leave her with a soiled Tagine and an impending dinner party..

We need a points based system based on  certain key words to grade the severity of the calamitous occurrences contained within the thread.
For example:

Organic 2

Tagine 3

Hummus 2

Guildford 1

Poundstretcher -3

Double word scores for issues including organic and tagine giving a score of 10.

Last nights Kashmiri Butter Chicken, Red Onion & Spinach pizza was missing it's little jar of sauce.....

The cumin infused, hand stretched artisan sourdough base was a little dry as a result....and the chicken was too bland.  I feel disappointed, let down & cheated.

Oh my word, Andrew, Thor.

My heart goes out to you at this tremendously difficult time.

I hope that both of you are getting the help and support that you need from your friends and families.  If there's anything that I can do, you only need to ask...

Thanks for your kind words Charlotte.   I've been trying to take my mind off the incident by doing housework , but the image & texture keep recurring.  The cardboard packaging keeps leering at me from the recycling box, triggering flashbacks everytime it catches my eye.

Sodding Waitrose have failed to meet their agreed delivery slot of some time between 8 and 10 pm today. Quite apart from the inconvenience of hanging around waiting for an unreliable tradesman, I won't have any orange juice with bits in for my breakfast in the morning.

It has just occurred to me: do you think he sought our house and because we don't have a door clearly marked "Tradesman's Entrance" he thought we were too downmarket and therefore couldn't possibly deliver to us? Oh the shame!

I have purchased a bath so large that it qualifies as an hydroelectric project which is good because the IMF will need to agree to a loan for the hot water. Fortunately I'm fully submerged when it's just half full. I could probably soap a hippo if it was full. I hope that's not a euphemism.

It's going to be a hard struggle but I'm going to strive to find a suitable bubble bath for my future adventures in cleanliness. Hopefully someone will send me a pleasantly fragranced care package and a nice bottle of wine to help make bath time that bit more bearable.
