To want a thread devoted to having a bit of a whinge?

[DoesNotGiveAFig]

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'm BF so can't take any over the counter sinus relief medication.

Sorry to hear about your uncle panadbois - have a non whiny hug.

On a brighter note (if that is allowed) I have perfected a 'look' that stops DD 4 in her tracks if SHE uses a whingy/winey voice. I'm so pleased with its effectiveness - she barely utters a full syllable before having a restart in a big girls voice

*boring

Aw Panadbois so sorry to hear that.

I too will embark upon a boring weekend, you are not alone! Life is very groundhog day at the moment.

Thanks for the much neded hugs.

I can't believe what I did just now. Looked everywhere for envelopes I bought yesterday but couldn't find them. Decided to go accross the road to Asda to buy somemore so I could finish my work, for this year. Locked the door behind me. No keys.

I had to sit in McD's nursing a cup of tea (no hot chocolate - just my luck) and a ring donut for 45 minutes until DK came home from school.

On the upside DS made me a cuppa to cheer me up but I'd rather have a

Have had the mother of all colds since the weekend and have really had enough of it now. I'm pregnant so I can't take anything that might actually make any significant difference to my symptoms. My sinuses are so blocked that my ears pop when I swallow, and my eyes have been watering so much for so long that they are all puffy and the skin on my cheeks is red raw.

Still, I can manage to walk up and down stairs today without my head swimming and feeling like I need to lie down afterwards, so it looks like it's finally going away. Just not bloody fast enough, I have stuff to do FFS!

((Panadbois)) x

I keep eating Christmas chocolate presents, just eating liquorice allsorts!

Anyone have an annoying work colleague? I've got one who's driving me round the bend. Counting down the days til the holidays...

What she doing? @:(

She makes jokey comments but actually means them. If I pull her up on it, you look like a boring old fart, but if I don't it gets me down slowly. Arrrrgh

I very nearly did that last night with a chocolate orange, goingforgoalweight!

hmmm well tell her the jokes are not funny as they are negative statements made about you.

She is jealous of you, with these people best to make fresh start and say to her make jokes at other peoples expense but not mine.

cheeky fooker

Can I have a whinge..

have been offered christmas list of gifts wanted, taken some advice but not all.
reaction to not taking all advice was a so strong that I suggested I should take gift back!

It's emotional abuse oh grrrrr, at work hard to get away from people like that. Considering themselves to be comical and secretly enjoying your discomfort.
You need some neutral but effective answers.

Give me example of what the trout says to you, please?

Sorry got sidetracked! Well, the most common are jokes about the place I grew up in (Australia), how small it is etc. Often also to do with the metric system (I find farenheit/mph hard to interpret, but will have a go when needed).

It is good advice to tell her it's not funny. I actually hadn't thought of that!!

Implying Australia is small!?! It's bloody massive!

DP is Australian. I find it kind of strange that his work mates call him Skippy and generally take the piss (he doesn't mind, it's jokey not offensive) but if he was any other nationality it would be unacceptable. Imagine referring to an African person as Zebra or suchlike

Only whinge - haven't done any bloody PhD work and deadline looking. I ate carbs earlier. Both big problems.

looming*

Just as i expected mocking she is a thick vile racist evil old trout, Just say you find her remarks unfunny. If she wants to continue a decent working relationship with you, she stops it now and in future

repeat like a broken record

leave it at that

other colleagues are thick to with limited minds if they cannot respect your wishes

repeat same to them

Australians should be respected as everyone else, how shameful.

Here s my whinge. I bought dd a book for Xmas that she has been asking for for months. I live overseas, so preordered it from amazon on Oct28, so that it would be in England when we arrived on the 22nd of Dec. This morning I get an email saying there will be a delay and they could not guarantee a xmas delivery. I tried to buy it online from waterstone's but it will not be dispatched fir 7-10 days!
She has asked for a skipping rope a hula hoop and this book from Santa! I cant not deliver these things, although at least I know the camera I ordered for her has arrived - and she will love that!
But that is one more thing I need to run around trying to buy in my 2 days of shopping. I was trying to avoid all this!

~Hi Aligator - what is book title and author/ess we may beable to help? :)

Annoying that is grrrrrr you planned ahead and what good did/does it do sometimes grrr

Can I add five large cardboard boxes (DH Xmas lights), car radio, arial and a large coil of mains lead (DH again) and a sizeable pink ruck-sac (DD2). All under and around the kitchen table to the whinges, please!

Alli it is possible your book will appear. I got one last year that they said would not arrive in time.
