Need to get something off your chest? Let it out here.
wasps set up nest in the compost, called a man in, cost me £55 for two squirts of the poison. Guess am paying for him knowing hte right poison and where to squirt it… Also danger money…lots of danger money
I have a presentation on Monday, and I’ve had a month to prepare for it, but I’m not ready. I’m gonna try to get it done tomorrow, but I know full well that I’ll be working on it over the weekend. :( (yeah, I’m super ADHD-i)
Also, work in general is just awful. I’m so sick of giving away so much of my life and not getting to spend quality time with those I care about.
Minor moans, but moans nonetheless.
Someone decided that 3:30am would be a good idea to do some DIY so I got woken up by hammering, drills and other power tool use from a street over to mine.
My garage door is stuck in the halfway position and off track. I had to barricade a bunch of stuff against the gap to block entry and will need to call a pro out to get this sorted. Pretty moan worthy imo
Just received a letter this morning with the schedule of engineering works on the railway out the back. Every Saturday night in July plus the first one in August. 11pm - 6am. As if I’m not already going to be run ragged with the kids off. I mean, I understand why and don’t have any fundamental objections. And being so close to a station is a big positive. But still. Urgh.
I feel this and empathise with you, we’re right near a railway line too. Living so close to a station would be a benefit, if the tains were ever running, lol.
I swear the pollen levels have been super high the last few days! My sinuses are all over the place and the antihistamines aren’t doing enough to help
Woke up with a bleeding nose this morning, bit pissed off about that
Just sneaking in at 11 mins to midnight. I got a train up to Newcastle today; due to some dickheads trespassing on the lines (apparently at Southampton), it affected the trains all the way up the country. Was supposed to arrive at half 5, ended up arriving after 8. Boooooo, UK trains, boooo.
Bloody forgot to put a pound coin in my purse, I get to the trolleys at Tesco’s and I need to put a pound coin in but I pay with my phone and only have notes on me and nobody else has change.
Bout time we upgraded and didn’t need to rely on coin slots! or how about we get more machines so I can get change out? Nobody has cash anymore! I just want to get a trolley out I’ve done in my shoulder sleeping…
I mean I could get one of those small trolley coins, like always I have procrastinated and so I’m here opting to moan about it instead like any good brit!
Australian TV cricket coverage. I’m sure there’s worse but I have yet to discover it.
Talking about cricket, we need a cricket community here.
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
I’m syncing TMS with 9now over a VPN
It goes out of sync quite a bit, but it’s very satisfying when it’s just right 🤌
I wish that would work for me but I’m on a twenty something minute delay here cos the cat vommed and I had to clear it up :(
I posted this on the Wednesday Whinge thread yesterday but it still very much applies so I’m going to moan about it again.
I slipped a disc in my spine a couple of weeks ago and my mobility is still limited and the pain is still bad. Our downstairs neighbour doesn’t seem to understand the concept of doorstops and instead he just slams his doors all day over and over again, maybe he’s pissed off at me because I stomped on the floor when he was playing loud music at midnight. On top of that there’s the bloke next door who has one of the most vile sounding smokers coughs I’ve ever heard, gets up for work at 4am and sounds like he’s wretching, lovely to be woken up by that. Plus the whole building constantly stinks of weed from another downstairs neighbour. Oh and we’re on the top floor so it’s been a million degrees. Urgh I can’t wait to not live in a block of flats anymore…but oh wait mortgage rates are fucked so no house for us yet - if ever.
Fwiw, I think these whinge / moan threads really help. I hate this archaic idea that we should just deal with everything and never talk about it. Moaning about shit is healthy, it gives you a small outlet so that you can keep functioning.
Getting things off your chest is a good idea. It brings the mood down sometimes if every thread is a moan, so having a dedicated thread to offload keeps it in one place.
Hope things get better soon!
I hope you can get a good heating pad. My back is all messed up, 10+ discs blown, and besides meds my heating pad is a massive help. I’ve found the adjustable ones with timers are a big help.
I hope you feel better, I do you have some noise cancelling headphones since you can’t do anything about the rude neighbors?
Thank you for the advice! I’m so sorry that you have so much trouble with your back, that must be awful. I would definitely use a heating pad if I wasn’t already insufferably hot, lol. If the pain sticks around long-term I will be sure to try it. Main issue at the moment is sciatica.
Yes thankfully I have some Loop earbuds for sleeping, they have been invaluable. I tend to pull them out in a half-asleep state though! I’m sure I will get used to them :)
Oh yeah, I’m blast my ac when I use it but I’m stateside. I hope you feel better soon!
If it’s legal where you are I’ve had some luck with cannabis for help with sleeping especially.
It’s not legal in the UK unless you can get it on very limited medical grounds.
