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 really want to whinge
I have 4 Xmas presents left to get, and I cannot think what to get
I'm so irritated by myself for not having any imagination

GoingForGoalWeight · 17/12/2011 15:49

My internet was down for four hours today grrrrrrr

I've eaten too many Mexican potato wedges, Cadbury's chocolate and I've yet again 'fell in love' with Tom Hanks in the Splash movie pwoarrr :) He'll never be mine :( wahhhhhh

festivalwidow · 17/12/2011 16:36

Yes please! "D"H out for the fourth Saturday in a row after a two-day hangover following work Xmas do.. helping a friend with DIY. I meanwhile have a hyperactive 19mo to entertain, which has so far resulted in a burst teabag, two unwrapped Christmas presents, milk stains on the sofa, lentils all over the floor and an epic tantrum in the shopping centre, plus half a mug of cold tea I optimistically made. There are cards to write, presents to wrap and biscuits to make for the sodding Xmas party which I can't do with a destructive toddler around. Oh, and the kettle has given up the ghost. Please, someone, pass the Wine...

FFS so what do i cook now the mincemeat is frozen grrrrrrr

vegetariandumpling · 18/12/2011 14:15

Well I was going to start a thread about this but I decided I was just being ungrateful, but I'll post here anyway: I'm pissed off that I finished Christmas shopping in early November, but I had to spend yesterday shopping for my own Christmas presents because my mum 'can't think of what to get'. I could give her a list, but if I say for example, 'I want a bag' she'll say 'which one' and if I describe it to her she'll just say she never get the right one so I should just get it.

And I told her about a necklace/earrings that I wanted in oct but she 'would probably get the wrong ones' so I had to get them yesterday and they're sold out Sad.

And then to top it all off, I find a bag of presents today with a note in my mum's handwriting saying 'these are spare presents for Mum, if anyone would like to wrap them she would appreciate it'. So she could buy her own presents then! and they're really obvious things like chocolate, turkish delight etc that she must have known I would buy her anyway, and in fact have already bought her (well most of them).

I know this must sound so ungrateful and I really do appreciate everything else my mum does for me, but I just can't help being annoyed about this! and breath...

vegetariandumpling · 18/12/2011 14:17

oh, and I should add that I did ask for just money but this was unacceptable to her

mockingjay · 18/12/2011 18:08

She bought her own presents and left a note asking for them to be wrapped?? That is totally bonkers, what a waste of paper Xmas Grin Send them back with a note saying 'spare presents surplus to requirements'.

The buying your own present thing is annoying too. I have a family member who is a bit like this. If I ever let on that I've bought something for someone else in the family, they want to give me the money for it and say it's from them. Present giving isn't just about handing over the money! Not sure what you could do about it though!!

bubby64 · 18/12/2011 20:05

Dc behaving like spoiled brats this pm when BiL+SiL came round to visit and bring them presents, DH and I so embarrassed we didn't know where to put our faces. Still haven't finished present shopping, and working til Thursday this week, now FiL says he is coming over on Friday, so don't know when I will get it done - I feel a late night shopping session coming on - not happy!

bubby64 · 18/12/2011 20:08

My mum always says to me "buy yourself a present and let me know what it costs"- used to be so annoyed about this, but now she has altzheimers and doesn't even remember about what christmas is- i miss it (and her as she is here in body but not spirit!Xmas Sad

just been to sainsburys in the hail with 2 year old and could not park in parent and child because some one was in the space, they had children but they were waiting in the car for wife to nip in and do the shopping, so we parked further away and walked in the hail while they sat warm in the car in the lovely big space near the trollies!!! Xmas Angry

Turkeyfanjo · 19/12/2011 15:22

Can I have a whinge aout mince?

Always used to be 500g bog standard packet of mince.

These days its 400g, but price is still the same if not more, robbin bastards.

GoingForGoalWeight · 19/12/2011 15:27

Just ate 6 mince pies, breakfast, lunch, snack all in one Envy

It is freezing outside. My cat was having meowing stand off with nutty neighbours cat so had to go out at 2am and chase my cat to bring him inside. Icy out there :(

wifey6 · 19/12/2011 20:47

Hi everyone
Had a lovely day today...then DH comes in from work & starts a row...throws a toy which bounces back & catches me & DS & then storms out!! I am frigging mad!!! To top it off while he is out I have spent 2 hours doing bed time routine & he is no where to be seen!!!! Angry Angry Angry

calamityboo · 19/12/2011 23:14

Wow literally threw his toys out the pram! U ok? Wine Thanks

witherhills · 20/12/2011 00:22

I have a migraine, it hurts and I can't sleep.
I have anxiety and my jaw is so tense because I can't relax. Dh is being majorly manipulative and won't leave me alone(I left last week)
Ds is being particularly trying and argumentative.
Even arguing with me when in telling him a story
I just want to scream actually

wifey6 · 20/12/2011 07:28

calamity....just upset really but we haven't spoken since he stormed out. Thank you for asking.

imaginethat · 20/12/2011 07:38

i am just so tired of worrying about money and how i am going to pay for everything. and then feeling guilty because so many people have it harder.

SylviaBells · 20/12/2011 07:50

Oh, i love a good whinge.

I am fed up with having a banging headache every morning for the past five weeks because I can't shift this cold.

I am worried that DS won't like his Christmas present (dh picked it, it is not what DS asked for....)

I also have too much to do and am too lazy tired to do it before we leave for Christmas at my parents.

SHoHoHodan · 20/12/2011 08:31

I love a good whinge too, but I do feel a bit pathetic about this one- I have a cold. Both the dss have colds too so it's the House of Snot here atm. And I've got so much to do before 10 people decend for Xmas day.

Plus I've barely seen DH for the past 6 weeks- the project client he's dealing with is a twat of the highest order who keeps throwing his toys out of the pram about piddling things and I want to smack him (the client, not DH) very hard about the face and tell him he's a twat but obviously I can't won't. I've spent 4 nights in the same bed as DH in the past 6 weeks because he's been working through the night as well as all day and I miss him. (whinge, moan, etc)

GoingForGoalWeight · 20/12/2011 18:34

MadameOvary · 20/12/2011 18:53

There are bagels in the fridge
They are calling to me.
I must not them
Or any other carbs
I have just eaten a massive pan of chicken stir fry
I haven't had a shag for weeks
I am wondering what it would be like to snog my sexy married male friend who I see more than DP and who is making my hormones sing. (not really, it's just fun to admit, before you all start hoiking your bosoms Grin)
Will see DP on Thursday. He better brace himself Grin

spanky2 · 20/12/2011 19:02

I am fed up with rich, millionaire celebrities telling me to give money to stop children from dying. I wish I could, but I have no money. I had to buy Christmas presents from charity shops and the second hand bit on Amazon. They could give money, and buy their family new presents. I hate feeling guilty for spending the money on second hand presents for my family and not saving a child.
