Anybody need a Saturday rant?

I do so I’ll start.

  • we’re moving house soon. Supposedly. Vendors sols have been so slow to do anything (and done stuff like repeatedly not send documents to my sols) that we’re now probably not going to complete before the end of the month
  • have had the searches back and the new house looks to be on a water meter - estimates from United Utilities day our annual bill will go from £370~ to £815~ - that’s me using conservative estimates and assuming one of us doesn’t have daily showers
  • have realised I don’t know if the new house is metered for gas and electric so don’t know if I can switch to a better deal. Not even sure if I can do that when I’m so close to moving anyway?
  • child decided to make a cake today. That’s fine. Child decided to leave every single item out and clean nothing up. Don’t worry he has tidied away now
  • DH’s face is so loud. I had to leave the room when he was eating a sandwich for fear of violence occurring
  • electricity just went off - turns out the washing machine was on fucking fire (well it was smoking) in the kitchen. Thank god the fuses did their job. But now we have school uniform in the machine and I’ll need to find a way to drain the machine and get it out
  • my Sims game crashed :(

I don’t even care if no one responds. It’s helpful to get it all out!

I hear you! I am just irritable today, really tired and my whole life has been taken over by DC's various activities and I am fed up of always putting myself out to facilitate their things at the expense of any time for myself, plus all the effort I go to on top of a very draining FT job and paying for everything and then they just don't make an effort at all in what I've asked them to do so we can do their bloody activities!!! And DH who blames me (minor blame, not LTB areas!!) for things he forgets 'oh, you called me to come home so therefore its your fault I forgot to bring 'important thing' home' or 'you were talking so I nearly drove into someone'.... gah..... I just want to be alone and sleep instead of running around doing so much for everyone else.....

I hear on just being irritable as well.

The stress is making it worse for sure, but honestly. Just leave me alone and sort your damn selves out.
