It pays to advertise. Last week, I put a fully charged stick Hoover out for someone to take. No takers. I took it in because it looked like rain. Today, I stuck a label on it saying "it works". It was gone in half an hour.
I know I'm being irrational, but I get slightly offended by the permission problem clown face. Maybe it if the face was a little friendlier, I wouldn't feel as if I'd done something wrong. I only press on someone's name because of fat fingers or the screen jumps anyway.
I'm gutted tonight. Walked out onto our terrace and found a squirrel had not only knocked a potted strawberry off a metal plant stand, making a big mess and worse, had eaten three small green strawberries I had been cherishing. I thought they would have at least waited until the strawberries were ripe!
Tuesday, they had bitten off a beautiful red rose in full bloom right opposite my kitchen window and left just the petals further up the garden.
How is it possible that if I wash a duvet cover and leave only two of its buttons undone, the four pillowcases in the wash with it, end up inside the duvet cover?
Bought some toilet rolls and thought the packet seemed a bit small. 190 sheets per roll. I'm sure there used to be 240. And the price has gone up by a few quid too.

This is a pet hate. I used to go to the cash and carry and stock up on big packs of bogroll. It was like some sort of A-level maths quiz to work out which was the best value. They'd have special offers on some, some with free rolls included, all had different quantities of sheets per roll and all the packs were different sizes. There were supposed to be rules to force retailers to give a price per weight/quantity/volume to stop this sort of nonsense but loopholes are being exploted without anyone tightening them back up. The worst part is that no one should have to get annoyed about the price of bogroll or spend hours trying to unravel the other pitfalls of greedflation.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
