My WiFi doesn't reach the ensuite so I can't post here when I'm on the toilet. Now I'm going to have to spend even more money on a signal booster

I'm going for my pedicure today and I know I will get flustered when they expect me to choose a colour within 30 seconds of handing me the colour chart. How can they expect such important decisions from me in that amount of time!

It's mid Winter here on the Mid North Coast and it's 24 degrees. I can't wear my new Winter outfits and all my T shirts are sooo last year.

Know that feeling only too well.

My first world gripe is that my pay pass doesn't always work so I have to key in my pin number, which I can't always remember!!

My OH drove to the shop to get food for dinner but forgot to get the ice cream for pudding.

I had to put my shoes on and drive 5 minutes to get it
