AIBU to be fucked off to fuck with this shitty weather

[nearlyuptheduff]

Can't get my washing dried, taking me twice as long to get home from work because of driving conditions, unable to do any gardening, lacking anything resembling a freckle beacuse the sun has just not been out AT ALL.

It is NOT FAIR. I am on maternity leave. For the first time in years I am able to be outside every day. Had visions of me loafing round the local park with DD and other mums quaffing wine. Instead i stare at the same four fecking walls all day, occasionally making myself go outside for a depressing trudge in the rain.

It is a personal attack on me. The rain is all my fault. You may focus your anger on me....i deserve it.

YANBU - I am so pissed off.

Oooh popcornia you're making me !

Guess i'll just have to have some more DC....odd's are i'll get a nice summer at some point.

Tomorrow looks nicer for lots though apart from the odd shower for some in the south.

YANBU.

I am on ML too, sick of having a wet dog and not being able to walk the dog in the sunshine with the sling/pram.

Fed up of it, even though I love where we live. Is it TOO much to ask for guarantee sunshine in the UK?

Day 4 of glorious sunshine here in the West Coast of Scotland.

Fed up to the hilt, as well. Usually it does not bother me much but I am currently very bothered.

Fed up here too, yanbu.

Not looking forward to the summer holidays, rain mostly forcast until we get a dry spell in SEPTEMBER :(

Also, dp works in food industry and wet weather is producing poor crop yields and forcing prices up. Less money for us at the end of the week.

so sick of it as well. I actually can't believe that the summer has been so dismal and likely to continue that way. My road is currently a river. DS is just watching dvds because we can't go out anywhere due to rain and no car. Also we're running out of clean clothes because everything I wash hangs about the house for days before finally drying with a disgusting musty smell. And the slugs and snails are staging some kind of malicious invasion!

The fields at the back of us are purposely flooded if the river gets too high, to protect the town. The farmers are supposed to get compensation for having their crops ruined, but it flooded last October, as well as last month and they still haven't seen a penny.

It's not just crops for human consumption, it's feed for their herds for over winter too.

On a brighter note, I get up early to walk the dog... it's always dry at around 6ish!

yanbu.

And I swear I won't be responsible for my actions if I hear one more person say 'there's no bad weather only bad clothing' . I hate going on whingy, rainy walks with the dc's and all the extra layers it needs then having to get everything dry when we get home.

silverlace I was looking at my ruined raspberry crop the other day and realised that farmers are going to have an uphill battle . I hope you are able to salvage something from it. As for the bloody slugs, even the beer traps aren't keeping on top of them this year.

I'ts nice here again today.
I can't remember the last time we had any sizeable rainfall, a few showers over the weeks but not much.
Does anyone else live up here in the NW of Scotland or the islands?

I'm getting really worried-no one here has been able to cut hay and even if we do have more than 2 dry days in a row,the fields are too wet to get onto.I'm worried about how I'll feed the ponies this winter.I work outdoors so have been running out of dry clothes and losing money for months now.

Our family farm has cattle and sheep and if this weather keeps up I don't know how they'll be fed or bedded out over the winter.All the events we had planned to attend have been cancelled and my depression and anxiety have started up again after being under control for the past few years.Normally bad weather doesn't bother me,but this is beyond a joke.

Sunshine is lovely, i know, but it's only weather. Life is short. Enjoy while you can. Maybe a life in Scotland has taught me to enjoy sun while you get it ..... incidentally, we have some now. Off out to hang washing. Yippee!

Sorry, should clarify before I am lambasted, as I am very nice person really - if your house is flooded or seriously damaged, or your livelihood adversely affected by weather, then tis a very different story indeed.

East coast of Scotland here, i think its been raining at some point just about every day for about 7 weeks since the nice patch at end of May. Our schools finished last day of June, so the kids have been off for 2 weeks already.

Luckily DS 6 has buddies in our street so they have been popping in and out of each houses to play, and nipping about on their scooters when it's a dry spell. There is some dry weather most days, but also some rain, so it makes it very difficult to plan a trip out. We have appropriate clothing but it is a PITA. Walking dog also not much fun, then drying him, more dog towels get laundered in this house than human ones.

And we don't have a lot of spare cash so no escape to the Med sun for us this year. I really really want some sun!!

YADNBU

DH a farmer trying to silage, weather forcast for today was to be dry, even this morning not a spot of rain anywhere near on the forecasts but it has chucked it down. Forcast for tomorrow better but who knows it will probably snow! We need this crop to feed the cattle through the winter .

YANBU, this persistant bad weather is almost enough to make me want to move back home, where it is the middle of Winter.

And this year our schools have extra long summer holidays, so I'm trying to entertain two little children inside most days and the end is til over a month away.

I put the HEATING on yesterday FGS!! And we are holidaying in the UK this year because we've got a 7 month old pup and couldn't bear to put him in kennels - it better perk up by August . Of course it is all our own fault according to Saint David of Attenborough www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/sir-david-attenborough-this-awful-summer-weve-only-ourselves-to-blame-7942405.html

I really do feel for farmers and those who've been flooded and I know I should count my blessings but it's hard, the rain just makes you feel so bloody miserable!

I would almost rather it was continually rainy though than what we have at the moment which is an hour of sun in the morning so you go out in flipflops and summer clothes then get drenched when the rain sets in or rain first thing so you go out in boots/trainers, coat etc then the sun comes out and you are bloody boiling. Getting dressed is impossible and I think I'm going to need a truck to carry all of our clothes when we go away (in the UK) as we'll have to take everything from wellies to bikinis to cover all eventualities. Bloody weather!

silverlace Sorry things are really tough for you. I know even on a dry day, or even when we had 2 in a row here nothing drained and dried enough to resemble fields.

YANBU. I am the same re washing, same re planning anything. We just do uick walks or trips to a park, always by car and somewhere a little further away just to make it last longer iyswim?

Weather is causing more washing which is not helping one bit!

I do feel for the farmers BUT am so fed up with not being able to do the washing. We don't have a tumble dryer and every year around December we say we will get one and never do. Never thought i would be considering getting one in July .

Weather forecast here suposed to be ok so i am planning two loads. There will be trouble if there is even a hint of rain
