Ok let's kick it off

Couldn't find my tomato ketchup for three days, finally found it tonight in the oils section in my pantry hiding behind the olive oil, peanut oil, ghee, rice bran oil, mustard oil and sesame oil bottles.

Edit: forgot to mention my seasoned curry oil and ethnic coconut oil as well.

Had to spend good money buying a fan today . My ducted heating system lays a layer of hot air at the top of the lounge room that makes it a little too cool lower in the room when we watch the 60" of an evening. Fan stirs the warm air around nicely.

OK I've got one. I've got hairy ears and nasal hair, I have an ear and nasal hair electric razor but it's still in it's original packaging and I can't be bothered to open it.

I have to walk an extra 5 minutes in the rain to McIver station as Perth station is closed due to the upgrade shutdown

I don't think I can face it
