This is the one where the news remains dull, and all the irons you bought in the last thread have developed limescale.

I had a slice of toast and now I feel a bit sick. It must be because I am low carbing.The toast was worth it though,it was slightly cold and hard so the butter went on the way it used to in a 1990s B&B.

I ordered a wheelbarrow. It came today.

Just tried out my new dental water flosser. The power almost took my head off. I was saturated. My mirror was piss soaking wet.

Had a terrible night's sleep last night so am having an early night tonight.

Reubenshat · 01/09/2020 18:00

Ive just ironed name tags in my kids uniforms.

But tbh - it’s made me feel really happy Grin

BillywigSting · 01/09/2020 18:00

I made hotdogs for tea because I've just done three 12 hour shifts on the bounce (and we were short staffed for all three) and I am exhausted.

Woken at 6am today by ds thumping down the stairs and dp not moving.

Then had to go into work on my sodding day off for a covid test and to have a fight with the higher ups about my offduty.

But because I didn't clear the table of ds's colouring things and set it to eat at, and instead plonked us all in front of the telly, I am apparently taking the piss (despite the fact that dp has had nearly two weeks off).

Have also had to do about three loads of washing and scrub the kitchen. Dp is currently ironing. because I will throw the iron at him if he tells me to do it

There is fuck all food in apart from biscuits.

I have a thundering headache.

So I am hiding upstairs so I don't actually murder anyone, because if the next thing someone says to me isn't 'here's a fresh coffee' I can't really say I can be held responsible for my actions.

The toy crown DD5 has insisted I wear has a really uncomfortable point in the middle of it that digs into your head, but I've managed to position it over my forehead like (Wikipedia tells me) a diadem.

sueelleker · 01/09/2020 18:10

Like Wonder Woman?

OrangeGinLemonFanta · 01/09/2020 18:24

@BillywigSting your 'D'P sounds like a bellend. Order yourself a pizza?

The GP has prescribed DS a different antibiotic, which is much less disgusting than the original one. Phew.

I have horrible period pains, and my plans to get the back to school hair washing and ironing done tomorrow afternoon in a leisurely fashion have been scuppered by the discovery that swimming starts back this week, not next.

I don't blame you, how shitty!

SpeedofaSloth · 01/09/2020 18:48

The queue for the post office was enormous.

BillywigSting · 01/09/2020 19:00

@OrangeGinLemonFanta we've already eaten and he hasn't done nothing while I've been in work (re-laid the floor, sorted the tip of a spare room and put stuff in the attick and took ds to a country park). He also picked up ds's birthday presents while I nipped into work so I can't be too cross with him. It's just fatigue making me grumpy!

I'm going to get an early night tonight so I don't inflict my sleep deprived self on everyone else again tomorrow

I'll be my typical cheery self tomorrow after a good sleep and a hot shower.

SunshineCake · 01/09/2020 19:10

I cleaned my sink today then threw the sponge away.

ScorchioScorchio · 01/09/2020 19:12

I have just bought a brilliant new kitchen knife. It's as sharp as fuck and I chopped an onion in seconds.

TheClitterati · 01/09/2020 19:12

Someone mentioned a xmas song on fb this morning and today I have spontaneously started singing 2 different Xmas songs. ( sorry).

BillywigSting · 01/09/2020 19:17

I take it back he is a bellend.

Have just nearly fallen asleep on the couch and he's asked me to put the laundry away, take the bin out and do the dishes without so much as a please, so when I pulled a face because I'm already in a shitty mood he threw a full carton of milk on the floor which has exploded all over the kitchen.

He's mopping it up and he's no fucking chance of me lifting another finger tonight.

Mamabem · 01/09/2020 19:17

New school uniforms I ordered arrived the other day. The PE shorts don't fit DS and they sent him jumpers for a different school (same colour). All of DD's stuff was correct and fits. I called the shop. She's going to arrange for a swap before their school goes back.

Mamabem · 01/09/2020 19:18

I also can't find the cat...

EmbarrassingAdmissions · 01/09/2020 19:27

I had a very long, very difficult day today (known in advance).

DH agreed to cook the dinner. He forgot to check how long it would need to cook or to preheat the oven. I shan't be eating until gone 20:30 which is too late for me to sleep well.

So, with almost a week's notice, there is no dinner for me tonight.

MrsBobDylan · 01/09/2020 19:38

I cleaned out the fridge in our static caravan and accidentally threw out ds' insulin in my enthusiasm.

It has cost me £34 for five vials!! I told ds it is an early birthday present and not to worry about being a huge burden. Sensitively handled.

Maxineputyourredshoeson · 01/09/2020 20:25

I’ve just had a lovely shower and put ‘winter’ pyjamas on.

agododopushpineapple · 01/09/2020 20:33

I’ve just caught the dog rummaging through the rubbish bin that I forgot to put outside and left in the porch - he is suitably sheepish so I’ll forgive him.

Prokupatuscrakedatus · 01/09/2020 20:40

DS just came in an delivered a lengthy monologue about sth Minecraft - I listened but only understood half of it.

I feel a migraine coming - I bet it's getting warm again. I'll take medication now.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 01/09/2020 20:56

I've cleaned the hob.

My Sainsbury's order was bagless, and I wasn't prepared but the man was very nice and said it was fine to take the crates to the kitchen.

I've put the kettle on and am going up watch the new All Creatures Great and Small on Channel 5 with a hot drink.

PenguinsOnParade · 01/09/2020 21:19

There's a fly in my living room. Just a normal house fly but one of the annoying wee buggers that flies close to you and buzzes in your ear and then disappears. It also keeps landing on our arms and legs but flies away so quickly that all our swatting attempts have ended up in nothing but us just hitting each other instead.

anorangeaday · 01/09/2020 21:20

I’ve just packed the bags for nursery tomorrow and my packed lunch for work. Feeling very weird

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 01/09/2020 21:27

There is a spider with wings on my ceiling. I have always called these ‘daddy long legs’ but DH just informed me they are actually crane flies. He cannot however enlighten me as to what daddy long legs really are.

I knew they were not really flying spiders, but I am now confused.
