I'll start:
After trawling round the Cirencester store on Sunday, it would seem that Waitrose do not stock free range turkeys in the stores. You have to order them online and then pick them up at the store a couple of days before Christmas. And what's more, you don't even pay for them when you order them, you have to queue to pick it up and then queue at the checkout to pay for it. Honestly, can you imagine?
Please sticky this mods.
My robot vacuum cleaner got itself stuck in the bathroom, annoyingly behind the door after somehow closing it.
Neals yard dairy's online shop doesn't have exactly the selection of cheeses that i want for my Christmas cheeseboard on one of their pre selections.
I can get 2 out of three several ways but then the third isn't right.
I'm either going to have to phone them and see if they can change one out, or go up there in person and sort it out directly.
My servant asked for 4 fish-fingers as opposed to the usual 3.
I can't decide which premium sport tourer to buy.
Worrying how long it would take me to get out of the SECC's carpark last night after seeing Jeff Wayne's War of The Worlds.
Would it take me 10 minutes or 15 minutes?
i really, really needed some samphire and the shop said it was out of stock, like so much it's 'out of season' blah blah blah
Ho hum - MemberWorrying how long it would take me to get out of the SECC's carpark last night after seeing Jeff Wayne's War of The Worlds.

That's not too bad, some people died of hunger in the queue after the Muse gig. Y U no take money on way in, dicks?
Had open a Payal dispute to get refund for Evans special offer they had run out of stock, I mean honestly Cycle Surgery automatically refunded my paypal payment when I missed the boat on the Bonty tyre offer....
...and people sitting in the third lane on the 4 lane stretch of the M25.
We've just had the fitting of our electronic blinds postponed until Sunday. But I'll be playing polo so Mrs. S will have to stay in for the fitter.
Bloody oiks.
I still can't quite get my coffee grind, distribution and tamp right with my new beans. It's quite vexing.
Trying to find jam in the Tesco's at Purley. Fail.
The renovation of the fireplace in the dining room will not be ready for Christmas.
Tescos?!
Will my Lovefilm blu ray arrive in time for us to watch it this Saturday?
My £185 Missoni scarf isn't as warm as expected 🙁
I have lost a nice pen this morning,I am trying to muddle on with an inferior substitute .
Tried to get new replacement pads for my 661 recon helemt but the LBS only had the green color and I wanted red, since I couldnt wait for the red ones I now do not colour co-ordinate with the rest of my bike or clothing.
- trying to get something for the servants on Boxing day that would suit their status in life 😉Tescos?!
I can't find the manual for our wireless shower control unit & the batteries need changing.
Our town post office is closed "due to unforeseen circumstances" & I need to send cards to France.
The LED lamps for our bathroom won't be here until after Christmas.
Its very cold in my garage & the heater wasn't powerful enough to keep my glass of Rioja just so while I fitted a new chain on my fixie.
Our food processor failed big time while making beef rissoles & the choice of replacements is bewildering!
You see my life is just stress city 😮
I left my gloves at work last night, as such I had cold pinkies this morning on arriving at work.
I dont know how I managed it. It was minus 1 out!
5hrs pressing redial trying to buy a kraftwerk, ticket, i dont even like em that much but itd be the best xmas pressie for the missus!
The rental cottage company in Brittany don't take Amex for the deposit.
My iPhone power button has packed up 2 weeks out of warrenty. Plus I have to get my Burberry jacket and shirt from Knightsbridge somehow before dinner at Chavenege at the weekend.

Sorry 🙄
Apparently everyone in our company has been given Christmas Eve off as an extra day, those that had booked it as holiday will not be given another day in lieu 🙁
The quality of marching powder drops disappointingly at this time of year as the plebs treat themselves 😥

After dropping my daughter at school this evening, I will have a 20 minute wait before the start of the school play. There is no mobile phone signal or WiFi in the school hall, and what passes for mulled wine served in the temporary bar in the school canteen can barely be deemed drinkable. The headmaster and parent-governors seem unwilling to address my concerns - to whom can I turn for solace?
My cleaner who normally visits on Tuesdays, had to postpone until Wednesday this week meaning I had to iron today's shirt (a task she normally performs).

It's not all bad, I get to do it from our holiday place in the Canaries
Why don't drivers understand fog lights are only to be used when visibility drops below 100 metres, or more to the point do drivers even know how far away 100 metres is?
Don't, just don't, get me starting on freaking inkjet printers, their ability to drink ink and there predisposition to not recognise 2 x new cartridges (of the same colour) = a trip to town. For no good reason.
As if it was enough to have had 4 days without the Gaggia at home, poor thing expired.
Fortunately, the new one (thanks to the PSA thread) has arrived and appears to perform it's task well 🙂
- surely you mean "winter residence?"It's not all bad, I get to do it from our holiday place in the Canaries
Waitrose have sold out of the proper sauscisson sec, so I have had to buy the inferior one from the deli counter.
surely you mean "winter residence?"
it is from next year, I hope
Deciding whether to give our cleaner cash or wine & chocolates this Christmas.
Is cash too impersonal? Wine seems a better choice. But red or white? Maybe a nice Rioja. Or a Chablis. What if she doesn't drink? Dark or milk chocolate? Maybe truffles?
Oh bloody hell... need a lie down.
I had to make an on the spot desicion as to which of my other bikes to ride as my number 1 didn't feel quite right!
I just can't get my (adjusts in 15 different places) office chair adjusted perfectly. Can anyone recommend a company offering a fitting service?
Also Waitrose don't stock the paprika I like anymore 🙁
Edit: CFH we posted at the same time. I feel your pain bro.
Just been called a liar for not sending a cheque to someone.... i'm VERY angry about this... I mean really really angry... like i wouldn't send the cheque.... !!!!!!
I've [i]never[/i] had to queue at my local Waitrose. That's the main reason I shop there!and then queue at the checkout to pay for it.
Turkey from M&S this year or somewhere else?
Hmmm, decisions, decisions!
As it's so cold, I'm finding I can't use my iPhone when I wear gloves.
You're having Turkey?
How frightfully proletariat. I presume you're being ironic. Just make sure your guests are made fully aware of the fact
As it's so cold, I'm finding I can't use my iPhone when I wear gloves.
My man servant has the same complaint. My problem is whether to fire the old duffer before or after Christmas. 😐

Neil. You've clearly not read the 'Spurious First World Christmas Presents' supplements in Saturdays G2

Just read the electricity bill from my green supplier (good energy)and found that my consumption has doubled since I had a hot tub installed.

I don't believe you either. Who the hell sends cheques these days?

You can get special gloves now that work with touchscreens.
Can't find a necklace remotely close to the design i have in my head that i wanted to give to my girlfriend as a christmas present. It would apear it is now to late to get something cutom made.
Rusty - you tried the studio's in [url= http://www.craftanddesign.com/ ]here[/url]?
I reckon you'll get something sorted there
[i]I've never had to queue at my local Waitrose. [/i]
My local Waitrose is in Cirencester. Believe me, it's popular; the car park is a sea of Range Rovers and the interior is a sea of tweed.

Tell me about it... apparently the internet is not a safe way of me sending money so had to be a cheque !!!!! deeply unimpressed !!!!

Can't you just knock one out on the day?

Do they come in Lesser spotted Angolian minkskin in purple?
PERVERT!
</obscure reference probably no-one will get>
Do I take 2 bottles into the shower or not?
second bottle will be undrinkably warm by the time you get to it
My bro in law wont lend me his new car as he thinks my driving is unhinged!
Unhinged? I suppose driving at a steady 40mph in the outside lane, with a tartan blanket on your back shelf could be referred to as that, yes
My glasses steamed up on the way back from the Pub today after one of our "thank you's" and I'm now typing in thick fog.
My local Waitrose installed some eletrickery automated self-scan system - no one uses hence it has large queues for the few tills with staff.
I've had to shop elsewhere...
Additionally the LoveFilm internet service doesn't have anything near the range of the CD service, it's jolly annoying
My boss insisting I do some work instead of living on STW.
The cheek!

I know! Why can't you convey that to him. Tell him!! Funny seeing his face when I said it was easy to get a four-wheel drift in his old Golf 😀
Neil_Bolton - MemberAs it's so cold, I'm finding I can't use my iPhone when I wear gloves.
+1, except i couldn't use my HTC in Sweden this morning as it was minus 13 and my hands were f'king freezing after being on the phone for ages without gloves..
im now also delayed 2 hrs coming home 🙁 - that is my first world problem...
Were you on a frozen lake at the time? You'd have trouble drifting a shopping trolley!!! 😆
Waitrose have sold out of the proper sauscisson sec
The fact you're buying it from Waitrose suggests it's a third world problem. Clearly your gentleman's gentleman should be having it brought over from the continent.
Over the weekend I had to visit two delicatessens to get all the things I needed. Quite why they can't agree some overlap on products is beyond me. Oh and the barman in the restaurant across the way from me gave me the wrong drink. It's not like I had to ask for it as he knows what I drink while I wait for my take-away but clearly doesn't care enough to get the order exactly right.
I don't think Ian who lives in Chorlton would ever get into a car with me again after I 4-wheel drifted and was busy looking at him laughing than where I was going 😀Were you on a frozen lake at the time? You'd have trouble drifting a shopping trolley!!!
I don’t actually know which site I will be working from in January. I may be staying here, I may be going to our head office. It doesn’t really matter, it’s the same job, possibly same boss possibly different boss. I’ve only got 3 working days left before the Christmas break, so at this rate I’ll just be guessing which site to turn up to on 2nd Jan.
And our bean to cup machine is broken. Again.
Some satsumas taste delicious & contain zero pips, while others from the same bag are insipid, just tough skin & full of seeds...!
How is this acceptable?!
One of my heated wing mirrors has stopped working - oh the humanity! 🙁

Chorlton and the Wheelies! *s****s*
One of my younger collegues so loves our new instant messenger for work (lync) that i cant go five minutes without him filling me in on how its going, its driving me insane!
Currently sat in the BA T5 lounge hoping to get home at somepoint. Frankly the selection of old world white wines is disappointing.
I've just plugged in a Freeview box, only to find the Adult channels arn't as free as I expected them to be.
You get a free ten minutes at midnight.
You even get a countdown timer.

Dont worry, loads of good stuff stuff on the internet is free as you like, ahem, or so I read in the Guardian arts supplement.

That should be plenty................. Shouldn't it?
