One of the nine in this room has gone. I don't really notice the lower light level from the missing one (it's background lighting rather than task lighting, the reason the lighting is needlessly complex will become clear in the next paragraph), but I will be massively annoyed by a single slightly brighter new one. I'm toying with replacing them all, but that's madness.
Fortunately Mrs Muppet is an interior designer, so it can't be too long until she wants to replace the light fittings with a feature wall/colour wheel/cushions/a stuffed mouse playing a violin/new light fittings.
Obviously, because interior designer, I already have a stuffed mouse playing a violin in here. I just thought I'd add it to the list for those of you who can decorate your house without professional help so you know what you're missing, which is playfully ironic stuffed vermin.
Fortunately I am not an interior designer, nor am I married to one so I have no playfully ironic vermin.Fortunately Mrs Muppet is an interior designer, so it can't be too long until she wants to replace the light fittings with a feature wall/colour wheel/cushions/a stuffed mouse playing a violin/new light fittings.

My stuffed bear wearing a scarf and fez also the medical skeleton wearing a pith helmet whilst carrying rifle were accidental purchases on eBay whilst pissed rather than deliberately planned design touches.

My Ocado delivery missed its slot by 15 minutes and they won't offer me any compensation 
All rather middle classed .... Why are you relying on on-line deliveries, and why is it you waiting around for the delivery?
If you don't mind me saying you haven't thought this through properly.
Where are your staff?
Surely for peace of mind it's easier to get Mary (the house-keeper) to compose a list of daily requirements, who then summons James (the driver) and the Bentley to dispatch one of the menial staff to Fortnum and Masons to complete the daily shop.
15 minutes of your time freed up and at no great cost - and no need to thank me!

Jeans!? Wallet!? How council!
Money clips however fit all sizes of pockets.
Nowhere takes £50 or £100 notes, so how the hell am I meant to carry THIS much money in £20 notes, in a money clip? Money clips however fit all sizes of pockets.
I'd have to have the butler carry it for me in some kind of binder, folder, or something.
God bless Amex Centurion cards - now I just carry that, and a few shuriken to throw at homeless people.
I visited the Mecca of all food fairs yesterday - the Woking Food & Drink Festival. I left my Subaru Wagon in the scarily complicated Peacock Centre car park and some 
left a dent in my drivers door. Well actually i'm not sure if it was a new dent or one of the many dents already on the car. But it made me feel a bit sad as I drove home.

But it made me feel a bit sad as I drove home.This weekend I ran out of Tassimo pods, so I had to dig around the far depths of the assorted condiments/spices/baking products/little-used-kitchen-items cupboard to find a packet of ground coffee for the rarely used Gaggia. Worse luck, that I only had whole beans, so then had to find the bean grinder too.
Beans weren't particularly fresh either after all that.

Is that the First World answer to a picture of dogs playing snooker or cards?
You haven't lived.

Chuggers. I have no desire to be accosted in the street for money to save the injured Kosovan goat herders when all I want to do is go back to my office and eat my (expensive) lunch in peace. That cost more than what they were asking for.
Dammit, over-expensive sandwich shops as well.

Sandwiches at the desk ? Is your club closed for some reason ? Dammit, over-expensive sandwich shops as well.
I go to the office in order to escape the endless litany of the help asking about the drainage in the lower field, or the vicar popping over requesting something 'for the flock', or Lady G asking my opinion on the latest flower array at the bottom of the west staircase.
The club is to retire to after one has earnt a crust. Or something.
