Pardon my French....

Elderly parents ailing, sibling wanting drama where no extra is needed, moody teen and tween and difficult day at work... so for me, everything other than chocolate really!

Not forgetting the bonus arse injection of antibiotics. It really fucking hurt!

Things where pain meets indignity... can fuck right off, for sure.

My sister and her stupid mind games and general pathetic narcissistic, attention seeking ways!!

Obvs Trump. And the media circus around his every utterance. I'm angry and offended we have to give that complete ogre any headspace at all.

Yes I was just thinking earlier how different I'd likely be feeling if he hadn't got in.

Just generally feeling very unmotivated about everything. I can't even be bothered to feel guilty about it. And I'm always feeling guilty about my laziness

Went to Boots for some Ibuprofen Lysine for migraines- didn't have any.
Remembered I needed some Hydrogen Peroxide (I use it well diluted as a mouthwash once a week). Didn't have any (and apparently don't sell it anymore).
Tried the next chemist - same story!

Is it of any use to know you can get it from Amazon @BurntBroccoli ?

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 29/01/2025 07:48

How are you feeling now @arcticpandas ?

Deathraystare · 29/01/2025 07:53

Nothing too bad at the moment but hate that I have to take water tablets. Sometimes I forget (yes I know), then when I do take them I piss for England. Honestly the number of times I left my desk to do a wee!

PissedOffNeighbour22 · 29/01/2025 08:08

Jobs that require specific knowledge/experience, being given to those who don't have it so shouldn't have been allowed to apply.

Back pain.

My job in general.

My brother and his wife still banging on about something that didn't even happen at their ridiculous party and now threatening to cut off one side of the family who aren't even arguing back. I'm stuck in the middle 😣.

This bloody cold. Razor blade throat and constant snot for 6wks is seriously pissing me off.

@Tortiemiaw I remember you from the uni threads! I'm sorry about your Ds's uni accommodation, it's scandalous. I hope your dd is doing ok?
My Dd had a massive autism breakdown, we had to bring her home just before Halloween and get her seen by a doctor. We informed uni and told them she wouldn't be going back to the halls. We have to pay £3K accommodation fees onThursday even though she hasn't been there since October! You are not alone!

Thank you! It's a sodding nightmare - and all over the university parent forum are these utter twats who just don't understand* 'Well, if you had to pay 50% tax on your income AND manage a rented house, you'd know how £4000 a month is an average rent NEEDED to collect for students' (paraphrased obvs). We are worried sick! She loves it there so much but the stress is insane!

*lots of other parents get it but I've generally been made to feel a bit thick!

How are you feeling now @arcticpandas ?

After a rough night with heavy migraine it's starting to ease up. Thank you for asking 🩷. How are you?

Oh! And Green Party trying to reduce our bin collections to MONTHLY 😱Fuck off. Fuck off, and leave our bins the fuck alone!

A wave to fellow Bristolian!

Mad, isn't it? Just going to lead to more fly tipping.

RampantIvy · 29/01/2025 16:52

I hope everyone's Wednesday has been better than yesterday.

I ended up driving halfway across the country and back to take DD's birth certificate to her. DBS application is in and other admin issues have been sorted out, and I'm knackered.

How on earth do people without driving licences and passports and who get wage slips etc online manage to obtain documents to support a DBS application?

fluffiphlox · 29/01/2025 16:57

Whatever this virus I have is. Fed up now.

indecisivewoman81 · 29/01/2025 18:37

Insomnia which is currently kicking my arse

My employer doesn't do hard copy wage slips (like most I imagine)!

BurntBroccoli · 29/01/2025 18:45

Thank you @tobee
I did exactly that! Just thought it would be easier while I was Boots anyway. No wonder our high streets are in the state they are if products are not available. Another thread I know!

spacepies · 29/01/2025 19:20

Right now i have nothing to moan over love my life.
Calm peaceful got some sage burning relaxing low volume jazz on in the background lit a candle.
Home is spotless no chores to do had a shower got a coffee just going to chill.

DD's employer didn't and neither does mine.

Today can go fuck itself. So can my OH. Sod off 🤣

Chrestomanciscat · 29/01/2025 22:30

Im so sorry - thinking of you ♥️🫂

Thmssngvwlsrnd · 06/02/2025 13:02

I know I'm over a week late to this thread, but I found out I didn't get the job I wanted and now I'm stuck working with a toxic manager for the foreseeable. I feel like poop as I must have interviewed badly 😢

UnhealthyCopingStrategies · 06/02/2025 21:28

Ah that sucks @Thmssngvwlsrnd Gin
