To be stressed about this?

[thefirstmrsDeVere]

Ok, following on from 'lots of needy threads' thingy.

Here is your space to tell everyone what is 'stressing' you at the moment. I mean 'stress' because we all know its not the end of the world, there are people far worse off than us blah blah. I have a seperate thread for the thing that causes me real, deep down stress and I have the SN boards for my other really stressful thing.

This is for the stuff like:

Someone in my family messed up the combination on the little padlock I keep on a certain kitchen cupboard (long story, dont judge). I bought a combination lock because someone kept losing the key to the other one. So at stupid oclock this morning I had to unscrew the bloody door to get at the baby breakfast that is also kept in there (note - I dont lock the baby food up, it is just kept in there as well)

Did the shopping in Morrisons today, full of horrible people shouting at each other and buying pies. Got to my car, opened the boot only to find my OH had put the buggy in there and didnt think to tell me. Drove home with boxes of rice crispies etc falling on me every time I turned the corner.

DC2's school bus is late every flippin day and its COLD.

Next promised I could have my new biker boots today and they LIED.

All that lovely hair I had thanks to two quite close together pregnancies has now fallen out. Crowning glory? No.

Anyone want to join me in a big ol whinge fest?

kitkat83 - wtf?

I'm stressed because I asked my boss for more work and didn't think it through and now I am competely overwhelmed with deadlines and I work from home so have no colleagues to moan at and have to work on my bed while the kids watch TV (again) all evening and DH still thinks I sit around and drink coffee all day and I feel bad for him because he has to take the kids all weekend while I catch up on work and if only I was more disciplined and didn't read MN all the time I would get more work done.

I am stressed because -

DS2 wants a blue toy for his birthday on Saturday but i don't know which one it is!!

DS1 is being a PITA and I am doing my best to keep calm

DS2 has nicked my coffee for his biscuits AND drank it all telling me it is "very Tasty"

My wedding dress I paid for 11 days ago still hasn't turned up

nor have the bridesmaids dresses
or ring cushion

or table confetti

oh fuck it i want 5 minutes peace!!!

kresley

Women can be such childish bitches can't they?

Grrr

I am totally stressed because our builder was due to come last week but cancelled until Wed this week (yesterday). We are having our first floor gutted and spent all day Mon and Tues putting all our furniture, ornaments, pics and other crap upstairs (so now I have to climb over it all to get into bed!!)

When the builder had not turned up by lunchtime yesterday I called him only to be told he is "Stuck on another job but will definately be with us next Wed".

Fucking builders grrrrrr!

instructions absolutly not
Didnt mean anyone, you know how these things can go so just wanted to be perfectly clear

I have had enough 7pm and 10 minutes ago my mobile rings guess who it is??

DS1'S FUCKING SCHOOL FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS WEEK AND THE THIRD TIME SINCE HE WENT BACK JUST OVER A FUCKING WEEK AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

sorry fr shouting!!!

Let it all out.

Everyone.

Its free.

my laptop keeps on missing out 'a', 'e' and 'd' - it's fucked basically.

my husband needs to find a job in the next 5 months or loses all his accreditation (as a PQ ACCA accountant)

have spent today alternately feeding baby and mucking about with DS and DD1 >sag<

in the last five years i have been clubbing once, and gone to the pub (properly, rather than for a meal) no times. i enjoy pubbing and clubbing. D2 is 5 weeks old - it's going to be a while.

there are two nice women on my road who i could be friends with if i wasn't so crigingly socially inept.
i also wouldn't wince after picking up DD/ going to playgroup if the above wasn't the case.

Hello all, I am stressed and extremely pissed off because I have lost my job due to, and I quote, "I cannot stop thinking about you, I want you and cannot continue to work with you feeling this way" from the boss. This was not reciprocated.

Didn't have a contract, was just verbal. Worked about 15 hours a week and LOVED working there, very social and felt like person again rather than "just a mummy".

The killer is: walked past today to see my new replacement. Blonde, thin and his new girlfriend.

So am fat, 40ish and back at home all day without any adult contact. Am miserable and very sorry for myself. Oh well, will get over it but PAH!

at your (ex-)boss Electric

Have split the roof of my mouth (no idea how) and entire jaw aches, so cannot be comforted with coffee and chocolate cos it hurts to eat.

Am about 3 stone overweight. Know I must diet, but can't quite begin.(first problem might help with second one though, so silver lining and all that)

Very tired, so skin has started to break out.

House needs shitload of work doing to it and I can't afford most of it.

I'm stressed because the plumber was meant to be doing a new shower today, and in the box was the wrong shower, so he's had to put it off for seven days. Not his fault, but I'm 39 weeks pregnant today, and want everything in order. Had to Bissell all of the carpets in between front door and upstairs bathroom because I can't rest if outdoor shoes have been inside, and now I'm going to have to do it all over again next week... somehow.

Thanks Staranise although I am feeling much better just writing it down. Will wobble past with my nose in the air. Or should I be really friendly and freak him out? Mwahahahaha! I really do love MN, cheers me up no-end.

im sick of being bad guy in my house,4 children and 1 dog and a partner who doesnt disipline at all...
i hate this weather,half way through painting the outside of my house its taking forever stop.. start..rain..sunshine..
dp went to funeral at 10 am,came back at 3,and asked if he could go back out drinking with the lads?????hes 38 not 18.so im bad guy in his books too ,he hasnt spoken to me since he come home and hes refusing to eat his tea...i didnt sign up for this...

Karma that really sounds painful and hope your poor mouth is better soon.

ooosa Hope your shower is done in the next 7 days and you have much more engery than me re: Bissell. PUT YOUR FEET UP AND REST!!

Not really being bossy but you need to!

ditto to WTF Kitkat ??

I've broken the spring in the kitchen door handle so now it just swings about;

I've broken the lock on the bedroom window so now that won't open;

My kitchen tap leaks & my plumber brother can't be bothered to get off his arse & help me;

My big toe hurts & I've no idea what I've done;

My periods are all over the fucking shop & irritating the hell out of me - not helping TTC;

I work with some real twats;

I'm fat & I can't stop eating

Oh this is exactly what I need. I'm stressed because

DS1 is not settling in well at school and I'm worried that not only are they not stretching and challenging him but his odd behaviour is making other children avoid him - from the well meaning comments from parents it's clear that some of the children do go home and tell them about my DS1 being awkward... :( He'll spend the next 9 years with no friends at school if he doesn't turn a corner soon.

I stick out like a sore thumb amongst all the yummy mummies at school. It's so obvious I can't afford to send DS there and I clearly don't have their sort of lifestyles/clothes/car/house/ you name it. Weird thing is, I used to have so much confidence that 5 years ago this sort of thing wouldn't have bothered me in the slightest but now I'm just stressed and worried and it shows.

On a lighter note, I'm stressed because I could have spent 2 hours whilst DS2 was at preschool sorting out my wreck of a house but instead I sat on MN for the whole time and had nothing but a mug of hot chocolate for my lunch

I'm stressed about the lack of family time I'll have this weekend due to working. I'm glad to have my job but I normally do only a few hours a week but have been doing all the holiday cover I can get all summer and haven't had the chance to unwind. Will also be doing loads of work over Christmas... :(

I have 54p credit on my phone which I need to make last until I get paid (not looking likely...)

cold sore (again)
pmt

periods every couple of weeks..which probably means I am on the way to menopause

crappy sticky outy hair

hurty teeth

new job is poo

bathroom radiator still has not magically connected itself to the electricity for towel warming so there will be chilly mornings and damp towels until it is actually cold enough to put the heating on unless i give up all my spare time to finding an electrician who will come round

2 sinks in house have blocked pipes (looking at YOU DS)

bits have started falling off my bedroom ceiling

I've got ingrowing toenails and one is infected just in time for my going away for a romantic weekend with dh, if i go to the docs and get antibiotics for it I will then get thrush, if I don't I will be in pain when I walk and will be very limited with choice of shoes. I can't decide which is worse and should put up with

I'm skint, always skint, have been for my whole life and I'm fed up of it tbh.

I'm tired and should be packing for said weekend away! Why am I still sat here?!?

oh yeh spent a fortune on getting a shower put in and the rail and curtain haven't come yet and now we need to put a pump in because we don't have enough water pressure. Plus the fact I spent a whole weekend with my house a mess and working my arse off to get the bathroom waterproof. On top of that the new tap runs water so slowly we now have to get up earlier to run a bath.

How does my skin and hair know when I am going on a big night out or a 'do' (especially an exW alert one) ?

The minute that invitation drops on the mat I start to fester and hair visibly starts doing an impression of a dishcloth. By the time the big day arrives Ive turned into one of those dickensian festering harridans - dont know whether to put make up on or go with it and black a few teeth out.
