Life is always replete with various problems, of a greater or lesser nature, but the key to success in life is that you feel as if you're at least winning over some.
The cold is my biggest one at present, but that will pass in a couple of days as temperatures rise again to double digits and the more long-term issue of global climate change is evident, to everyone. |

Thank you. Most importantly, a smear. That’s first on my list x |

"Getting tradespeople to come and do those small jobs
On a more personal level, the pain in my knees going upstairs "
Decent tradespeople are very hard to get.
Any decent plumbers in Dublin, hit me up!  |

"Forgot to turn the van on and let it be warming up.
"
Don't you hate that, you rush out the door, already late, to be confronted with a frozen chunk of metal. |

And why is the patch right in the drivers view always the last bit to defrost on the windscreen |

Having read that twice I've concluded that your knees are sore when you walk upstairs and not that the pain in your knees is now in your arse.  |

I believe that's in the small print of Sod's Law |

It's only a few days per year, but a parking heater is pretty cheap nowadays. About 100 euro and you can preheat your car without having to idle the engine. Even works on remote control |

"Well our smallest one decided to do a number on the flooring in her bedroom. Of course she just HAD to do it this week.
Was it number 1 or number 2 "
Id take either of those instead of her ripping it to pieces |

My van needs repairs for the test, I blew the turbo in my “good car”. The shower pump shit itself and the wet vac calved as well.
Both my shoulders are in bits with torn rotator cuff’s and a bursitis on one. Knees are giving me pain and hips are stiff. I’m hoping that a few days off at Christmas will give me some relief. |

Don't we all have practical problems, but at least we all are healthy to have fun
Didn't a Mrs on here who was part of a couple, pass on recently
Let's all try cheer each other up which can be a sad time at this time of year
Sorry if I offend anyone |

Any day above ground is a good day all the small things will eventually get sorted
The most important thing is family and spending time with them,you never know when your number is up
So enjoy life we only get one shot

"Cat started juddering while driving today. One more thing to figure out"
Maybe your cat is just a nervous driver, or it got over excited to be in charge of a mechanically propelled vehicle and was having an involuntary orgasmic episode.
Could it be the sound of the hoofbeat of the horses under the bonnet.
Or the tiger in your tank being sloshed about when cornering or braking (showing my age) |

"I live in a tiny apartment, which I love, but there is a serious lack of storage space. So any ideas would be greatly appreciated!"
Can you look at it the other way around...not that your apartment is too small for your stuff but that you have too much stuff for your apartment....then declutter everything |

Reminds me of the children's book "A squash and a squeeze"

I did do this as I was moving in (only here with the last year). And it was actually therapeutic almost.
Perhaps another clear out may be in order! |

My ex and her new partner bought a ginormous outdoor playhouse for my daughter, it is deadly to be fair but they had no way to put it together. I spent a few days over there putting it together with the little one helping me, I dragged the arse out of it to spend more time with her and have fun. Finished it yesterday  |

That's incredibly sad, hopefully you'll get to spend more time with her next year |

Cheers playmates, I do see a lot of her but was fantastic to spend a few days doing something productive with her! And she enjoyed it too. I'll see her again next weekend and I'm not far from her. |

"I'm stuck in the closet lol"
Communication is key. You should have a frank conversation with your wife, Assuage any of her fears of you not being into her and tell her that sometimes you're going to be dressed up pretty for yourself |

Vertical space is the most underused. Consider adding J hooks to hold utensils and pans, and subdivide shelves and presses to add extra shelves where the stuff inside isn't that high.
If all that isn't enough, buy a transit van and leave it in you parking space outside as a storage unit

"It's going to be one very wet and windy day; thank goodness I will be inside all day; but my roofleaks!"
You'd want to sort that out. The water that leaks into your living space barely matters, put down a bucket and do some mopping.
But the water that soaks into the roof timbers instead of dripping down will rot out your roof until it collapses |
