to want something nice to happen?

[LadyFingers]

life is just a bit dreary and crap and boring at the mo.

we (me and DH) both work longish hours. we pass in the hallway. DHs job is just boring and mine is particularly shite. The future worries me quite a bit. What-Ifs with DHs job, where do I go with mine, How will we fund DD1 through university, Will DD2 ever find something she likes,

It feels like we do all these hours for nothing. We're not poverty struck by any means but have nothing left over for treats. No chance of any sort of holiday to research, book and look forward to.

Nothing hideously awful has happened so I really should just count my blessings and stop whinging but it's all just a bit treadmilly boring, a bit crap and bloody hard work for little benefit and not much fun.

What I'd like is a small windfall or a little premium bond win, the sun to come out again, a kitten, to laugh until I wet myself a bit, to eat some cheese or cake, for something exciting to occur.

You and me both, LadyFingers, you and me both!

Me too. Everything's just so blahhhh and dull and no excitement.

It's the end of winter. Everyone feels like this to some extent. What you need is a nice big pagan Spring-welcoming partaaayyyyyyyyy!

Or maybe a nice night out with your DH.

op.... I hear what you're saying but you should count your blessings.

you have a dh, two kids and a job. that's a lot more than a lot of people. I understand life might seem dull but really its up to you to make what you have work.

I hope I don't sound brutal but after the year I've had I would take 'dull' in a heartbeat.

maybe i'm just tired,end of winter, pissed off a bit.

it's my day off today. not going out anywhere as that would involve money in some form.can't be arsed to do any housework (boring). might have a nap with a book. soooo boooooring.

and just got cold called with a survey about holidays. i did it because i was so bored but after answering Never and Nothing to a few of his questions even 'Michael' didn't want to talk to me.

i know ilove. i really do.

maybe a big cleansing fire is needed.

What do you do at weekends? I find if the weekend just goes by doing shopping and housework I want to kill someone.

So what dh and I do is pack a picnic and go for a lovely long walk (we're in the Chilterns which helps), we have a good chat and laugh, stop off for hot chocolate in a flask, eat the picnic overlooking some nice bit of scenery and get home knackered but in a much better mood.

Sounds like your dds are old enough to be left to their own devices? If so, just try to find something to do which is free and is just for you and dh

Get a kitten!! Do it!! Guaranteed happiness and sleepless nights

i haven't had a whole weekend off since before christmas (bastard bloody job). i have this next one off though whoooopeeeeee! am taking DD1 prom-dress shopping.

we have enough cats and dogs really.although just one more is tempting

Oh go on, kittens fold up small, you can put it in a drawer, you won't even know it's there

i could spend my weekend off protesting about the NHS bollocks.
