Park and ride bus issues. When it’s raining, push right up in the bus shelter. If there’s a big queue, go to the end. Don’t hang around near the head of the queue. When you get on, if there are no seats, go right to the back and don’t force people to squeeze past you because “I’m getting off in a few stops.” Think that’s it.
Oh and not a complaint but what are you people doing sat in your car in the park and ride either reading or listening to the radio? Waiting for someone coming off night shift or just getting some peace?
I have paid out thousands for a new custom made front door as the 70 year old one that was there was falling to bits. There is a large puddle inside it.
I woke up too early and thought “great, I’ll get to work early and leave earlier”. I’m 14 minutes into my shift and I want to go back to bed. I might work from home this afternoon, after a short nap.
Jacuzzi?
I slept like shit last night, I was ill off work all last week and I’m still not feeling right. Sweaty af all night. Then just as I was drifting back off at 5am the dog woke me up whining to go out for an emergency poo, seems she has a poorly tummy. Im glad shes so good at letting me know when she needs to go, though. I wouldn’t not have wanted that on my carpet, I can tell you 😳
ETA; was weirdly jealous watching her frantically empty her bowels all over the grass because I’ve not been for a poo for about four days now 😂
Im just sat here wondering if you can have some kindof caffeine overdose from this 🤔
Early Access of Football Manager 2026 releases tonight, probably about 7pm. Today is going to **drag**, time dilation is real people
My wife’s car conked out on me yesterday while I driving home. Luckily I managed to limp back in 1st and 2nd gear from about a mile away at 16mph (juddery engine, no power, I was flooring it). AA was round last night in the pissing rain. Sparkplug’s gone as it’s misfiring but he didn’t have one on him so they’re coming back later to fit one. I’m praying it solves the issue as my anxiety was through the roof yesterday.
Sickness and diarrhoea doing rotations of the house. It had the kids first, then the wife last week. It’s got me this week but I obviously “don’t have it as badly”.
The curtains in the bedroom of the house I rent won’t open properly, so they’re permanently pulled shut. They’re thin enough that I get plenty of light in, so it doesn’t bother me.
The motion detection light outside went off last night, and I pulled the curtains to one side to see if it was the cute cat I’d occasionally seen wandering around outside that had set it off.
Only to find that the window ledge and blinds, right next to the end of the bed that my head goes on, were absolutely covered in mould.
Intermittent power cuts overnight so all the burglar alarms on our estate were wailing away. I’ve been awake since 3.00.
Had a surprisingly good weekend which left my brain buzzing so much I struggled to sleep Sunday night. This week’s sent me crashing back to reality. Hating my job. Hating my neighbours who let their dogs crap in other people’s driveways or on their doorstep. Hate leaving early in the morning when it’s dark and can’t see where you’re stepping to put the bins out, so you step in that dog crap. And getting home late in the evening when it’s dark and not possible to check for where the crap is. Back to my brain being my worst enemy.
Covid is back in our household again :(( partner testing radioactive and all up in the nose. I feel like crap – all in my lungs but testing negative? Both self isolating but having a crack at wfh today as we both feel guilty for being off for a whole week
Why do arriva buses always sound and feel like they are from the 80s and are on their last legs?
My neighbour keeps putting next doors bin in my garden. I think I’m safe today as next doors wasn’t out there this morning when I put mine away. But who knows.
I’ve had it lol. Currently sick with whatever bug is going around, I’m on my period with pretty bad cramps AND my wisdom tooth is coming in. So not only whenever I cough/sneeze I have to change my pad, my jaw hurts like he’ll. Tried to get a dentist appointment but, turns out that I was taken off my practice bc I haven’t been in for 2 years. They won’t put me back on the waiting list, and other dental practices have like 2-3year waiting lists. Luckily I still have some stronger painkillers from when I hurt my knee, so I take them once a day for the tooth/jaw pain…. unluckily it does not work for my period pain. Fml lol
Work in a pub, social media and web day, nobody is going the pub at the moment so engagement is abysmal…ideas welcome 😂
Stinker of a cold. This is the second time I got ill with pretty much the same thing in the space of days. And it’s my week off so that’s bloody typical.
Weirdly woken up right on the wrong side of the bed. Daughter said I’m grumpy, partner saying wtf is up with you this morning. Truth is I’ve had three weeks of 60+HR weeks in a really physical job and it’s my second day off in a row for months. I basically spent yesterday unconscious and every muscle hurts.
It’s not an excuse, I’m sorry for being a right bear with a sore head. Trying to turn it around now and getting ready to redecorate daughter’s bedroom.
dyed my hair pink yesterday and thought it turned out well. woke up today and hated it. can’t tell if i actually don’t like it or if im just not used to it.
Same effect lol
1.5 hour train into London – people snoring, breathing like Darth Vader and just making too much general noise for this miserable old git. I could hear it over my headphones!!
Wife’s birthday on Friday. Left all the shopping for the extra bits (cards, balloons, cake, etc) til today and it’s bloody raining.
Near where my wife’s family live in the Czech Republic there is a spa where you can sit in a jacuzzi full of warm beer.
On the train, people talking on their mobile phones on speaker. When did people because so self absorbed, selfish, and inconsiderate?
My car just failed MOT, the boot of my partner’s car won’t open, there’s a fatberg blocking our outside drain, my rosacea has flared up, dog has widdled on the carpet.
Overslept this morning so I missed my gym session. Annoying but I do feel very refreshed with an extra 90 mins of sleep in me
My kid had a meltdown and was subsequently late for school today because he couldn’t find his pencil.
I had my first solo big drive this morning, so naturally I didn’t sleep much last night. Currently sat at the services and getting myself ready to get the last half hour done.
Proud of myself but I am bloody knackered. Set off at 6am. Got to do it again around lunch time to get back home.
I have coffee induced indigestion. Again.
I put a gammon in the slow cooker to have gammon, egg, and homemade chips for tea with some bread and butter. One child has decided they don’t like gammon (despite liking deli ham and bacon). Another doesnt like fried eggs so wants his scrambled. The baby doesn’t like eggs at all, I’m not sure if he can have gammon, and I’m feeling guilty about there being no veggies for him.
I hate having to plan what we’re going to eat every single week only to find something that was universally enjoyed two weeks before, no one likes anymore. It’s so hard to feed a family
Work is already killing me and management decided yesterday was a great day to give a locum an impromptu day off. One guy called in sick and that left two of us running a hospital lab, with some support staff to do the odd jobs. Did management get off their arse and help? What do you think? We are already having serious issues filling the out of hour rota and they are not helping there either. I swear they want us to make mistakes due to exhaustion.
Toddler is teething, recovering from a rash and going through a growth spurt. No sleep for anyone.
Who needs enemies when you’ve got autistic teen boys ey? Something I said at home about his mates mum as a very flippant joke, has been relayed by my son to his mate, who has then told his mum. You can imagine the aggro.
His response “well that is what you said though” 🤦🤦Excuse me while I claw my face off in frustration.
When I bought my sofa a year ago, I was absolutely positive it would be the bestest, comfiest, most wonderful sofa ever.
It isn’t.
Boyfriend and I saw his ex for the first time in three months (he’s currently abroad for work, she’s also his best friend).
She’s had a terrible last year and I do sympathise, but she ended up being pretty vile and taking it out on my boyfriend this spring, then on me when I tried to stand up for him, and my god. I just can’t stand her.
We had been friends before, but now I just find her soul-grating to be around and we’re going to a music festival all day Saturday. Lord give me strength.
My old cats hate my new kitten because he made them jump, so I have to start the introduction process over again. I’ve caught a cold. I have to get up at 3 days a week at the moment and it is killing me. And my best friend’s funeral is on Monday.
Still, at least I have my own teeth….!
I broke my companies bonus structure and should earn a £15,000 bonus. They’re now talking about “fairness,” and I’m waiting to see how they react.
Im so hungry and tired
And my cat puked
I did not get either of the 2 jobs I interviewed for.
Despite putting on a pragmatic and brave face about it, I am feeling really bad, exhausted, useless, and unemployable.

Hang in there
Keep your chin up
Don’t dwell on
Pick yourself up and keep going
It’s their loss
The right thing will come along
The market’s really tough at the moment
