A very first world problem here....

When I started this academic year at uni, I bought a big bottle of washing up liquid, a big dispenser of hand soap for the kitchen and a big bottle of cooking oil. Now, with less than 4 weeks of occupation left in my halls, I have about 1-2 week's worth of each of these left. I shall then have to go and buy more, and even small sized bottles will all hardly get used and end up being carted home with me....
Look on the upside, you'll be able to make a rocket with the left over fairly bottle for 'show and tell' on the last day of school.
CC won't have a last day at school. He'll be a student forever!

The EU bureaucracy is interfering with me buying South African foodstuffs ( http://yoursouthafricanshop.co.uk/south-african-pr... ) , meaning I'll need to rely on "smugglers" in future.

They're refreshing the markings in my office car park. I've had to use (shudder) the park and ride today.

With plebs. And London commuters.

And I've had to PAY for the "privilege"!

Off to the Chelsea Flower Show tomorrow. As I have hospitality tickets I really need to wear a jacket but as it is going to be hot tomorrow I don't want to wear any of my existing jackets (that actually fit) as they are all lined for autumn/winter. So now because I have a nice trip out tomorrow I have to sacrifice my lunch break to go shopping for a new jacket.

The trip to Chelsea was already a PITA as I was told not to bother driving to the event due to the traffic and instead to take the boat, which means taking a car to the dock, then get on the boat, then walk to the venue.

Overbooked in Club Class back from San Francisco - BA had to upgrade me to first. Lady F had to stay in business (she lost the coin toss).

Heh.

Malaysian Airlines business class: Due to it's design, there is a very slight droop at feet level when in flat bed mode. I had to fold up a blanket and put it under my feet to stay comfortable while laying down.

Today I have had to open both of my French Doors in my home office. There's a fair amount of bird noise which I'm finding quite distracting.

More seriously, my gardener has piled some excavated turf right in the way of where my fencing guy will be installing new panels tomorrow. I'm probably going to have to rectify this situation myself. FML.

What, no black pudding? I wouldn't have paid with that kind of oversight either!

Yes in Scotland, usually Stornoway black pudding. And with hash browns rather than fried bread.

The only car available to me out of four to do a 400 mile round trip was the Sagaris. Definite first world problem.
