A series of Doh's:

Christmas eve was supposed to be:
1. get the smoked salmon out of the freezer and defrost it.
2. collect the turkey and the gammon joint from the shop
2. put the turkey in the camping fridge (the main fridge would need a shelf out, besides it's full already)
3. have smoked salmon & brown bread for supper with chilled champagne.

Alas, when we got to the defrosted smoked salmon it wasn't smoked at all, just a side of salmon, so Christmas eve supper was the ham instead, with some of the potatoes & veg from Christmas day.

Doh!

Worse, the Champagne hadn't been put in the Fridge and was non-chilled.

Double Doh!

Christmas day morning we got the turkey out of the camping fridge and found that the camping fridge was more efficient than we had thought: The thing was frozen!! Not wishing to cook it from frozen that left Christmas lunch as the cold ham from Christmas eve plus the salmon, now poached. We ended up having our Christmas lunch on Boxing day.

Triple Doh!

Well, at least you didn't starve! Sometimes a change of plan is all for the best. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Oooh I hope it's not stinging too much anymore (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Those cuts feel much more painful than they should.

Got a good one for this thread today.

Went to cinema this evening to see Harry Potter. Celebration for having 2 teenage children at home in one piece at end of term and university term. Got a bright spark to serve us the tickets. Bought sweeties and drinks. Went into the correct number screen on ticket. Sat and waited, and waited. Saw the adverts, and the new release adverts, and then ............... the wrong film started. The voyage or whatever of the Dawn Treader.

Gah! Looked at tickets (with some difficulty in the dark you understand) and bloke on the desk had given us the wrong tickets.

We didn't check the title of the film on the tickets, so in a sense it was our fault too. So we just sat and saw the Dawn Treader. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) And I'm dead short of time to get Christmas ready, so by the time we next have enough time to go and see HP it'll be off the screens. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)


Oh dear. A similar thing happened to me in Italy once but it wasn't my fault. I bought a ticket to see "When a man loves a woman". It was a one-screen cinema so the ticket didn't have the name of the film on just "admittance". When the film started it was The Flintstones. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) The projectionist had decided to show something else and in his words" they are quite similar".

Just realized that for our next series of concerts (in England! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)), I'm a chair ahead of where I was before, which means that I have to learn the inside part when I played outside for the last concert with the same programme... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Not an "aargh" at all, since I'm so happy that we get to go to England and play in amazing venues, but still a bit annoying, especially as it's final exam week and I was banking on not needing so much practice time...

Opened my clarinet case today and found the money I should have paid my teacher with yesterday. I put it in the case so that I see it and remember to hand it over.......

Tried to submit my gas & electricity meter readings today. Went to the website, tried to log on. Tried all combinations of usernames and passwords I could think of, no joy. Got frustrated.

Then checked the last bill: Website of wrong company.

D'oh.

Biology exam question involving calculating a percentage decrease in temperature (39 to 34.5 degrees or something like that).

Calculated everything correctly, got the answer... and proceeded to write '0.115' in the answer box instead of multiplying by 100 to get it into a percentage! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I felt like such an idiot, as everyone knows I'm the one who normally gets 100% in Maths exams... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Aged Mother-in-Law, who is wheelchair-bound since having a massive stroke in 2009, wanted to be taken to the pictures. Without knowing much about the film, we suggested "Black Swan" thinking it would be a nice film, with lots of pretty dancing. We went yesterday afternoon.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) We'll read the sysnopsis and write-ups next time! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Although she seemed to like it... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) A man just hit my stationary car whilst I was about to fill it up with diesel in a petrol station. He just thought he'd try to get around it.
There isn't too much damage done- it's just going to take my time to sort it out- plus it's hard to find time when my car can go in as I teach in different schools and need my car!

Sorry to hear this - what a nuisance for you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) At least it was a relatively minor incident, with no-one hurt.

Grr. Teenage pupil being shoe-horned into G5 theory by mother-pressure. Seems to expect me to do all the work. Grrrr. Pupil has another think coming. Too busy to do its practising too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Feel better now.
Perhaps this should have been on the Arrgh thread, but it doesn't really constitute a week's worth of frustration, just an evening's worth.
