Moaning thread

So much to do. Why can't I get started?

P.S. I had one of those phone calls just now. Telling me that £600 has been taken out of my bank account and transferred to a foreign country. Press button 1 to prevent this, they said.
I think it's a scam. I did not press button 1.

20 bloody chickens and only 1 egg!!!!! 2 torn cartilages, One bloody son not talking to me for 8 weeks!!! And dogs barked all night.

A most impressive offering from gilly and a nice little twist from toscalily and Margaux. Margaux, yours in particular resonates with existential angst.

GG, a small but significant moan, enough to ruin the day and possibly the weekend.

henetha, I misread yours and thought the cause of your deafness was sex , not wax.

Going out for lunch today thought I would bake a cake to take as a gift. Just lifted cake out of the oven and it has significantly sunk in the middle! threw it in the breadbin, must rush out now to take flowers instead. No rain here for weeks, have to keep watering with a watering can the 3000 pots of flowers my husband insists on having. Tomatoes still bright green, rhubarb flourishing (cant stand it), Neighbour complaining I did not put the green garden waste wheelie bin to be emptied (which I pay for) for HIM to fill it. I could go on and on.

Oh please do oldandverygrey!

This is my favourite thread in such a long time! I’m giggling away at some of these moans.

Thanks for sharing.

You are a very witty bunch!
?

Just been fitted with hearing aids hubby is trying to be funny and keeps miming at me all the time, getting on my nerves now lol

We have visitors staying tonight so is it really too much for DH to tell me when he's planning on having a shower (preferably not ten minutes before they are due to arrive) so I don't have to clean the bathroom twice?

Today I have a pain in the cheek of my bum and a pimple under my eye.

My neighbour has just bought me an eccles cake, which I love, but they give me terrible heartburn!

The slugs have eaten my new sunflower that I bought the other day for a £1.

Our washing machine makes a terrible noise, probably need a new one as it's
9 years old.

Our email addresses have been frozen by sky.

Oh me too MissAdventure (pain in bum that is!) my chair is uncomfortable and I had new seat cushions but they seem hard. Hoping they eventually give a bit. I also have wrenched my shoulder, my knees are about 30 years older than the rest of me and I have two big scratches on my leg. My cat tried to eat me last night as she thought I was too slow getting her tea. She also left me a huge poo on the utility room floor overnight. Thanks puss.

This thread is very refreshing! I am always wary of putting my woes on here (although I frequently do ) for fear of bringing a thread 'down' . Now there is a place for it!

Got trapped in Sainsbury's by a 91 year old lady who talked solidly at me for at least 10 minutes, she swerved from one subject to another with a skill that many politicians would envy and I could not get a word in edgeways!
I had to run off in the end

Ate two very small pieces of cheese last night (dairy intolerant) and thought I could perhaps get away with it. How wrong could I be? Spent miserable evening and night trotting to bathroom. Now shattered and meant to be at Pilates class tonight. They were very small pieces though.......☹️☹️.....

Well........trying to decide whether to clean the cobwebs from the kitchen ceiling ( rather high), or wash the kitchen floor, or take some of the stuff in the hall to the charity hall, or weed the freshly planted flower bed.......and sitting here on GN doing none of the above. I need taken in hand, bossed about a bit, told what to do. Main problem is going to other people's houses which are always immaculate and then coming home to mine which never is. Also, while faffing about deciding which job needs to be done first, I accidentally ate 6 chocolate truffles which were in the fruit bowl for some reason.

GillT57 If they were in the fruit bowl then technically they must be "fruit"??????

grannygravy I like your logic.

Love this thread. Am minding my 5 year old gd all day again (do this 3 days a week) and am tired of being enthusiastic so have let her (to her delight) watch TV all day!! Feel so guilty and I know she knows it’s wrong because she is laying low and not asking for anything, so I don’t turn it off. The guilt I feel is making me miserable but I am just so exhausted.

I need to tackle painting my wardrobes, and I now have heartburn due to my selfish neighbour making me eat that cake

Also I put on 4lbs on last weigh-in and still keep picking at food. Tell me to Stop!

We are installing a new washing machine (bra wire became stuck in the old one, grrr) and so have emptied out the (smallish) utility room. The utility room has now completely taken over the (bigish) kitchen as on every surface there is now 'stuff'. Stuff we need, think we'll need or have needed. Correction: stuff I think I'll need etc. Mr C is obviously entirely innocent.

I will have to spend this afternoon 'going through' said stuff and throwing it away (or quietly putting it back when Mr C is having a snooze...). I'd rather be reading a book.

PS
I have, coincidentally just been presented with a book by Mr C, 'Washing Machine User Manual' and told I should break a habit of a lifetime and read it before using said contraption! Such fun.

Love this thread - it has really cheered me up.

I've got to leave Porto and the beautiful weather tomorrow and flog home from the airport on the M25 - The Road To Hell according to Chris Rea.

Most of the moans have been very different but hilarious reading for other people- we must carry on just like the Welcome to each day thread, where we tell each what’s coming up.

I’m sure I can find something to put a smile on your faces folks!

Just been sick. I think it was the effort of cleaning on a hot day.
