I'm working from home. In the middle of some very urgent work that requires my concentration also in the middle of a migraine oh the joy. My otherwise very nice opposite neighbour is sitting in his car outside his house taking a business call. The volume has got to be literally on full. I feel like screaming! It's going on, and on, and on. I'm like - dude your house is literally next to you. Go inside and take the call properly. Don't spend half an hour blasting the neighbourhood with intermittent, muffled sound. All my windows are closed btw so that's just how loud it is.
He's actually SO nice (so is his wife) that I don't want to go and say anything I'm a complete wimp. This just makes it MORE annoying.

I've spent the last 24 hours absolutely seething with anger over a falling out with a director in one of the businesses that I work with... I'm a registered health professional that monitors the health and wellbeing of their staff population, and has helped them defend themselves against some pretty hefty cases in recent times.

Our falling out was over the amount of stationery I use. It was insinuated that I'm either some silly little girl who loses things, or I'm stealing their cut price economy office supplies. I only use that much stationery because they're still in the sodding dark ages and won't purchase a clinical software package - I went to my car and cried I was so bloody angry Blush

I picked up an open bag of frozen peas... someone had OPENED THE WRONG END... hope they aren't too harmful to dogs - though they have kept him amused.

Just had an ASDA home delivery. Ordered two boxes of "you've got to be kidding me' cat food (that's what we call As Good as it Looks as it's sometimes £4.50 for a box of 12 pouches.

Fluffballmookins eats it, BUT only the meat ones (I know).

What's delivered, two boxes of fish flavoured. I've already discovered she won't even try it, even with a Weebox stuck lovingly crumbled on top as a sort if enticing garnish.

I'm six days overdue with my first baby and decided to pass some time/try to get things moving by walking to the beach. On the way I stopped off to buy a doughnut. Got to the beach, sat down, took one bite of the doughnut... and a seagull swooped down, snatched the whole thing out of my hand and flew off. I almost cried!

I discovered that spiders can climb up the inside of a pint glass if they really want to. It's resulted in a spider still loose in my house, a lot of glass to clean up when I dropped said pint glass and a cracked kitchen floor tile Angry

It was my birthday last week, so I bought a lovely cake for us all to eat today.

My boss said he wasn't feeling very well, so didn't want to eat anything, but would take a bit home with him to have when he was feeling better.

After we all had a slice, there was about a quarter of the cake left, so he put it back in the box and said he would enjoy that later Shock

MY CAKE! MY BIRTHDAY CAKE!

Trying to get 2yo dd to stop having the dummy during the day, she has been grumpy as today is the first day, but was okish by the middle of the afternoon.
Which is when FIL thought it would be funny to tease her by reminding her of her dummy..... Angry

1, All the supposedly AIBUs that should really be on Chat because they have sod all to do with AIBU and are really an excuse to rabbit on about something bollocks.
2, Bloke who emailed to ask me to do some work for him but doesn't ask how much it will be, has no idea, and probably thinks I'll do it for free because I used to know his girlfriend (I won't because he's a rude sod who didn't say thank you for all the advice I gave him ages ago that was for free - just completely ignored me)
I feel better for that Grin

My dog being a complete dick/tosser/cockwomble by taking advantage of me being distracted for 5 seconds to sneak upstairs and piss on DS's beanbag. He is only ever incontinent in the kids' room and I am usually ultra vigilant about preventing him getting upstairs. Didn't even have to call him down either. He ran up, had a piss, came downstairs. I swear his mission in life is to make sure I have high blood pressure.

Had to get off bus due to horrid smell. Had heavy bags of food shopping but was better than staying on the bus feeling nauseous

krustykittens · 28/09/2017 15:43

My neighbour, who is unbearably nosy, stopped me today to ask me where myself and the kids went to last night. I have, honestly, tried to be tolerant as he is elderly but he seems to be of sound mind, lives with his wife and has his daughter and her family five minutes up the road so he is not lonely. Just very nosy and also incredibly passive aggressive. So I lost my temper a bit today and told him I have no intention of accounting to him for my whereabouts. Not nice, I know, but he also watches us through binoculars and is getting on my wick!

Freshprincess · 28/09/2017 15:44

Co op ran out of chicken sandwiches, so I had to have cheese. Fuckers.

I also forgot to put a wash on this morning before I left for work so I'll have to stay up till a million o'clock tonight waiting for it to finish.

I went to make a pot noodle and a coffee and ended up putting a teaspoon of coffee granules into my pot noodle.

MrsJamesAspey · 28/09/2017 15:48

I dropped the coffee whilst making a quick cup before leaving for work so there's coffee on the kitchen floor which I still haven't cleared up despite having been home for half an hour and I'll get even more annoyed when the kids start walking through it instead of round it Grin

Bloody plumber just moved my new boiler installation from next week to the end of October. So no heating for us for the next six weeks. Hope it stays mild.

There was a Mr Whippy ice cream van parked outside school at home time AGAIN! I'm so sick of it being there. Thankfully I didn't have any money on me so it was easy to get past it. But it's just soooo cheeky!!!

Someone mansplained to me how to get reluctant colleagues to attend a meeting

I went out for half an hour and that was when Royal Mail turned up with the parcel I was expecting. I swear they do it on purpose. Have to collect it from the sorting office now, hhmmph.

retreatwhispering · 28/09/2017 16:03

My middle child went down with the local sickness bug just as their sibling recovered. I'm sympathetic but inwardly groaning at the thought of another three days indoors.

DJBaggySmalls · 28/09/2017 16:07

2 workman here today and one likes to punctuate his sentences with a fragment of song in the style of Bing Crosby. Also apparently there were loads of sex parties round this way in the 1980's.
I will never be able to look my neighbour Dennis in the eye again.

robynadair · 28/09/2017 16:08

Leaving bright and early to get to work early only find that due to closures on the M23 my cross country route was full of HGVs even though most of this route was clearly signposted as not suitable for HGVS and do they were far to wide for the country lanes. This meant they had to stop every few yards to let oncoming vehicles wriggle by them plus they couldn’t manage the bends and so that caused more issues. Then when I finally turned off (after 4 miles of this) I was behind a girl on a scooter doing a top speed of 19 miles an hour in a national speed limit zone, and she could only manage 9 going up a hill. She was also practically driving on the white line in the middle of the road making it impossible to overtake. I got to work 5 minutes late Confused

DotForShort · 28/09/2017 16:14

Our neighbours regularly use our back garden as a shortcut. They have never asked if this is all right with us. It annoys me quite a bit to see them traipsing through the garden but I would feel churlish asking them not to.

UnbornMortificado · 28/09/2017 16:14

Someone said to baby DS "what's that nasty mammy put on your face"

That would be his fucking oxygen prongs AngryHmm

She's in a profession that should really know better.

I bought a dog chocolate by mistake.

At least I didn't give it to the friend I bought it for without realising
