And to start off, I’ve had a week off toothache and am now on antibiotics which do not seem to be working. I feel like the living dead.

Me. Fed up with all the twats coming out as soon as there’s a sniff of warm weather. It’s nearly 11pm and they’re still screaming outside. Fair enough have a drink in your garden but there’s no need for squealing! 😡

Face coverings.
Nuff said Grin

I did try to comply today... it was a farce... the shop assistant asked if I have asthma too (I have queried it several times at the GP over the years...) the two staff members were very pleasant though. I'm not going to a big centre/ store in a hurry though!

My glasses still annoy me after 22 years so I'm not holding out much hope on getting used to recycled breath...

Feeding a family...so done with that.

The usual really Wink

Shame I couldn't have donated a spare thunderstorm. That would have sorted the squealing.

I'm in a tent in Norfolk, camping trip. Been pissing down all day, no dry clothes.

Considering going and sleeping in the car. Had forgotten how much I hate camping in shitty England.

Raimona · 25/07/2020 22:33

BogRollBOGOF I’m this close to making my own thunderstorm with the hose. It’s been a long day and they’re keeping my DC awake.

Dartsplayer · 25/07/2020 22:44

I'm fed up of constantly seeing posts on social media saying - lovely catch up/visit to the pub etc with such and such (socially distanced of course) followed by a ton of photos of everyone cuddling each other

Rockbird · 25/07/2020 22:49

Me. I've had sciatica for 15 months now. I can't sleep, I can't lie or sit down, I can't bend, even slightly and I can barely walk. Pain killers are no longer working.

And now I have what seems to be tendonitis in my arm. On the opposite side so I'm totally fucked. I'm exhausted and pissed off.

Ishihtzuknot · 25/07/2020 22:53

Fantastic thread thank you! I’m fed up with hearing my neighbours slam doors and let their dog bark all day, and my other neighbours spy on us and generally piss me off. I’m also struggling to get motivation for anything so I’m fed up with that too. And no where will deliver a take away to us (even pre lockdown) so I’m fed up craving an Indian meal. Maybe I’ll win the list of most moans in one go?

Geraniumblue · 25/07/2020 22:57

I’ll put out some plates of thistles for all you Eeyores. I am craving a nice remote island, far away from everyone at the moment. With a really good dentist.

amusedtodeath1 · 25/07/2020 22:59

I think I have this "fucking virus', I feel awful, need to sleep but can't am restless, hot/cold, and worst of all it's making me a bit "overthinky", keep thinking about things long past (not all of them pleasant).

I am very grateful for this thread.Wine

HeeeeyDuggee · 25/07/2020 23:01

@Rockbird you have my sympathies I’ve had sciatica about the same amount of time. It’s crippling. I’ve found pregabalin works for me (compared to all the other things they tried me on). My physio was stopped due to Covid and it’s been hell

@Geraniumblue

And to start off, I’ve had a week off toothache and am now on antibiotics which do not seem to be working. I feel like the living dead.
I too have been suffering with tooth ache for what feels like months. The pain on a scale of 1-10 (1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest) is a strong 10 at times. Went to the dentist who said it was my wisdom teeth growing... bullshit. I almost passed out from the pain yesterday! Hmm
Geraniumblue · 25/07/2020 23:07

It’s totally vile, isn’t it? My dentist tried to tell me it was my sinuses. It’s really, really not.

Stupid nex, coming to my house, for no reason other than to ask me to speak to his fiancée. Why? He's been engaged three times and each time they see sense and dump him. I'm only interested if he makes it as far as marriage and she ends up being my kids stepmother.
He just stood there smirking when I told him no
It pisses me off because he thinks I want him still and that Im jealous.
Not bragging but I'm not desperate
Argh
Pisses me offf

Winterfellismyhome · 25/07/2020 23:09

So fed up with work. Ive cried the last two days on the drive home

torthecatlady · 25/07/2020 23:37

@Geraniumblue My usual dentist wasn't available, but the dentist I saw was his wife... so it's not like I can go back and ask for a second opinion is it? GrinBlush

AutumnLeavesSeptember · 26/07/2020 13:07

Ah no, that sucks @Geraniumblue. Toothache is awful and the side effects of antibiotics are terrible too. Is your dentist open to have proper investigations?

Poor you @Rockbird, my DH has chronic pain so I can see (if not understand) the toll it takes Flowers.

I've had quite a nice day. DH managed to come with us on a morning of blackberry picking. He's very fatigued, I think he's gone for a nap along with the baby.

I've got more work to do on our mega legal problem which is today's whinge.

TheOrchidKiller · 26/07/2020 15:30

The cat's yowling because he's tired & he needs to sleep but he has to announce this by yowling. If I get up to make a drink before he's properly asleep he'll rush after me & it'll start again. It's like having a human toddler.

DD is in a foul mood & not talking to anyone, for unfathomable reasons.

DS is eating everything in the house, & keeps picking the cat up, which doesn't help the cat get off to sleep.

DH is crashed out on the sofa, asleep.

I hate Sundays. And Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays (you get the idea).

AutumnLeaves blackberries already! They're not out around here yet.

Oh, it's fecking raining again!

TheOrchidKiller · 26/07/2020 15:31

@amusedtodeath1 I hope you're feeling better today.

TheOrchidKiller · 26/07/2020 15:33

@Winterfellismyhome Flowers I've been there with the crying over work. Can we help?

Winterfellismyhome · 26/07/2020 20:58

Thank you @TheOrchidKiller i feel better today. I just go through periods of really hating it.
I have a plan to get out though so something to look forward to :)

AutumnLeavesSeptember · 27/07/2020 16:46

Urgh I'm just so upset dealing with this legal issue. Just discovered that the cost would have been lower except an organisation decided to push the costs to the highest they could go, to the detriment of most of our savings. All the relevant possible representations are being made but it's so, so soul destroying. We've been dealing with this for over a year now and I just get so stressed. It makes me feel like I want to dissolve or just case to exist or something. I'm just desperate for it to be sorted and get back to feeling safe.

I'm sorry you're so sad at work

AutumnLeavesSeptember · 27/07/2020 16:47

Winterfell. Covid hasn't helped! I hope you feel better in your role soon (or find a lovely new one).
