Default Don't know what to do ... shellshocked

10 minutes ago whilst sitting at my desk enjoying this forum I happened to dunk my digestive biscuit into my mug of steaming hot milky coffee ... Now I now you should always "pull out" on the two second rule but I happened to be side tracked by a pallet truck driving past outside my window and inadvertently left the biscuit submerged for 3.5 seconds ... The biscuit disintegrated prompty and is now nothing more than a pile of mush in the my mug. Naturally I should have phoned my family and friends first but I thought I'd receive better Karma here so I posted it up. I'm heartbroken frankly and don't know where to turn ... I may have to take a break.

I really feel for you....I went through a similar thing last week when I lost my rich tea in a similr way. All I can say is hang in there, it does get better with time and you'll soon be back to your dunking self. ( To rebuild my confidence I went onto Hobnobs for a while)

I am always doing this. I must have lost hundreds of valuable biscuits over the years not to mention the complete spoiling of a good cuppa.

Karma sent to you on this very sad day.

UPDATE:

Just got off the phone to the Samaritans ...

They are sending a box of Caramel Rocky's over by Datapost as they fear I'm almost over the edge.
