Forgive me if there is one already ( and point me at it! ) but I'd love a thread to hop in and have a whinge about stuff that's not important. Such as I'm feeling very fed up today, work sucks and my housemate is in my face - I would just like some space from her. I brushed my teeth this morning and there she was hanging around outside the door, which is a pet hate of mine anyway.

Everything is annoying today. I decided to have a fat sandwich for dinner instead of healthy things and now have heartburn.

I would like to whinge about having pulled a muscle and not being able to rest it or have a break which I think is making it worse. I fell over last week and I am pregnant and have been in so much pain all week!

DoesNotGiveAFig · 12/12/2011 14:46

Ow :( It will be! Hope you get chance to rest it soon :)

ooo yes, a whinging thread. those annoying things that can make life feel miserable but are not that big a deal in the scheme of things!

Hotpotpie · 12/12/2011 14:47

Id have a good moan about my carpet fitters now being 5 hours late Angry great idea!

AReindeerCalledHorse · 12/12/2011 14:50

I've had 3 different parcel deliveries today, the ONE parcel I'm waiting in for for wasn't one of them!

Hotpot, how annoying! Have they said why they're running so late?

aldiwhore · 12/12/2011 14:50

Just finished the last of the Christmas decoration and two sets of lights have blown on the frigging tree... they are under careful woven beads and tinsel and baubles.... the anger I feel is beyond what I felt last week when I had a real issue to be angry with and I'm BVU. ARGH.

Oh and a cupboard door in the kitchen that won't close properly, no matter what I do, and is just at THAT angle where I (and only I) bang my knee against it every 5 minutes.

itsstartingtofeelalotlikexmas · 12/12/2011 14:51

I would like to whinge about a colleague who has just got new job and I'm so jealous it hurts, lol

Hotpotpie · 12/12/2011 14:52

AReindeerCalledHorse something about a mix up over who was having what, no contact from them I only found out when I rang the company ranting

DoesNotGiveAFig · 12/12/2011 14:54

I feel your pain itstarting my mate has two companies fighting over her and I'm facing redundancy! I am so pleased for her but at the same time insanely jealous!

itsstarting My friend has just got a job after looking for a week, I've been looking for bloody months... I AM happy for her, but have to stop myself muttering comparisons between us that are usually rather bitchy.

Gracie123 · 12/12/2011 15:13

I want to whinge about MiL getting a cat, despite the fact that me and both DCs are seriously allergic.

She always used to complain that we never visited/slept over (she knew why) then cats died and we visited loads for the last 8 months. Now her good friend 'needs' her to adopt their cat. She asked if it was okay, I said it was totally up to her, but obviously we wouldn't be able to visit.

SiL is now claiming that we've put MiL in a really horrible position.

No we haven't. Her friend has. She knew the situation. Angry

Gracie123 · 12/12/2011 15:15

Oh, and aldiwhore my stupid kitchen cupboard door is at a funny able too, and no amount of adjustment seems to be helping!Angry

TheLaineyWayIsEssex · 12/12/2011 15:17

i've got a stinking cold and 12 mo to entertain. All I want to do is wallow in self pity.

zoe88 · 12/12/2011 15:23

My ex finished with me almost 2 months ago and now instead of our usual £400 + gift Im getting a £30 amazon voucher.
I'm selfish Blush

bubby64 · 12/12/2011 15:27

Also got heavy cold, felt rotten yesterday and found that had DH disappeared upstairs for a 2hr kip while I struggled to get DS's to do their homework and then put up christmas tree...argggggh!!!

Lambzig · 12/12/2011 15:33

I would like to whinge about my DH getting a call on Saturday and having to go to Bahrain to work unexpectedly yesterday and is away all this week when a) he has only been home for two weeks since October due to having to work away, and b) I am going to have to cancel the two nights out I had planned this week including work christmas party as cant get a babysitter at such short notice. Have not been for night out without him/DD since my sister's hen night in May! Very fed up.

DoesNotGiveAFig · 12/12/2011 15:42

Aw Lamb! :(

Oh i love this thread, long may it continue!

I'm fed up of being a mess ...

FreudianSlipper · 12/12/2011 15:55

i would like to whinge that i have had to yet again remind the ex to ring ds to say hello when goes away. ds is really missing him

and i should be finishing my assignment but keep popping on here, just not finding it that interesting

HereKittyKitty · 12/12/2011 16:30

I would like to whinge about my 'D'H being a grumpy tit ALL day today. It's his birthday and he is in one almighty strop. We both took the day off work but apparently since I'm such a moany, nagging wife he'd rather have been at work. Right.... Hmm

Also, as a birthday gift I'd hoped to give him a BFP (I'm 12dpo) but got a BF fucking N. So he got bugger all, which following his earlier comments, I'm kind of feeling like he deserves.

AAAARGH!

ElizabethDarcy · 12/12/2011 16:35

I'd like to whinge about my sister thinking it 'tricky' that we have an in-law (my family by marriage) with us as well as her on Christmas Day, as he isn't 'her family'.

Can I add a whinge that all the posties here know I am home during the day so always ask me to take parcels for absent neighbours... 2 today thus far, 5 last week... they sometimes sit here for days (in guest loo off foyer), even after I have knocked on their door a couple of times to deliver said parcel. I don't have all the space in the world, and would like to be able to pee sans wedged between boxes.

controlpantsandgladrags · 12/12/2011 16:40

YANBU. I feel like a fucking huge whinge today but after the day I've just had I'm not sure I have the strength Grin

I want a day off. Just one measly little day to do whatever the fuck I like. Failing that I would just like to go and have one pee without an audience or any little person attempting to "help" me wipe. Who can I blackmail ask to sign my holiday form?

DoesNotGiveAFig · 12/12/2011 16:47

I'll sign it! Please, what is BFP, 12dpo and BFN?

bubby64 · 12/12/2011 17:27

Big Fat Positive, 12 days post ovulation, Big Fat Negative (been there, done that, bought the teeshirt, so well versed in this kind of abbreviation!!)

IneedAChristmasNickname · 12/12/2011 17:38

I want to moan about the person earlier who said I should give my dc less presents (I buy them 5-6 smallish things, she buys 1 big thing ie Innotab) and put them in the stocking instead so they get more from Santa! WTF should I? I do Christmas my way, you do it yours! Thanks :)
