Have you got a problem you are ignoring at the moment?

My car has an intermittent light that keeps coming on. I know I should take it to the garage but the car itself was a very big indulgence and has been nothing but trouble since I got it.
Anyone else turning a blind eye?

I have a worrying piece of skin and a mole that's completely changed and yes I know I need to get them looked at but my MIL has not long found out that she has cancer and I don't want to add to the shit show that we're already living through.

So for now I'm hoping by some miracle they will fuck off and be fine.

If you do nothing you might be adding even more. Your family would want you to be checked. You're just as worthy as MIL for care. Please make an appointment today. Especially if you have children.

Odd mole that appeared about 6 months ago and sometimes bleeds, work and life are so busy that I haven’t done anything about it. Hoping that writing this will finally make me take some action!

Please do it today. You could have peace of mind by the end of the week.

@Lillygolightly imsuggest you contact Martin Lewis as I'm sure he can help. I think they aren't allowed to charge more than 12 months worth so it might be less expensive than you fear.

I have to send my yearly update to the authorities to prove I'm keeping my DD's inheritance safe (she inherited 50k when her dad died a few years ago and in my country that means I have to keep it safe until she's of age, and submit yearly reports to show that I'm keeping it safe) and I'm putting it off because it's just a hassle filling out the forms and getting bank statements. I have until the end of the month so I can ignore it a little longer.

Also been ignoring the mole on my back that I think may have changed lately so probably need to get it checked by a doctor but yesterday I got a text telling me I have an occupational health check up soon so maybe I can deal with it there.

This needs sorting sooner. Your daughter has lost her dad, she needs you.

my skyhigh cholesterol, I know the doc wants to discuss it with me🙄

@Lillygolightly try Citizens Advice Bureau for support

The occupational health appointment is probably sooner than I could get an appointment with a GP anyway as it's not an issue that would be classed as urgent.

@Natsku , @ChewbaccasMrs and @MyJoyousKoala , get yourselves to the doctors. I had a melanoma, its completely treatable if identified early, and fatal if left too long. Thankfully I was in the former category. Don't mess around with this.

The damaged fence from the storm
The damaged garage roof from the storm
The utter shit tip the garden has become
My very damaged knee - NHS don't want to know
An assignment for a qualification I'm doing which I have procrastinated on
Probably should look for a new job soon too as I am fed up and it won't change unless I change it

I’m putting off minor things but they are still bugging me. Hopefully I’ll find the motivation to get them over with this week.

Bloodstains on the study carpet where DH seat. I’ve even bought a complicated stain removing machine but the instructions are all in pictures and I’m either very stupid or the machine is faulty.

Growsomeballswoman · 07/03/2025 09:20

My oven needs a new element l, shed roof leaking, front door is stiff. None of the above I can be bothered to sort 😫

I might have Graves disease. Fighting through the process of getting diagnosed is too much with everything else going on in my life right now. I have to do it soon because apparently hyperthyroidism has given me osteopenia in my thirties but I can't take any more "thank you for your patience. You are number - seven - thousand - and - twelve in the queue" right now (cue hold music).

We need new flooring in the hall. The carpet is hideous. It was hideous when we moved in, but very good quality. I said "that's got to go" as soon as we decided to buy the house but couldn't really justify replacing an almost new, very expensive carpet at the time. 25 years later it's still there, flatly refusing to wear out and I kind of can't be bothered now, even though I still hate it.
On a more serious note, DH and I really need to make wills.
