Let's play "why do you have a cob on?" Who would win?

[ForTheLoveOfGrace]

Things that have seriously irritated me today even more than normal as sleep deprived :-

1. DD not having her listening ears on (No change there then)

1. People who post on social media wishing friends or family a happy birthday with tons pictures of themselves with that said person when all they’re doing is posting pics of them looking fab and are saying “look at me aren’t I gorgeous” get over yourselves.
2. Tailgaters (No change there then) I want to get a big flashing red sign that says ‘fuck off twat’ installed in the back of my car or better yet get out and punch the bastard!
3. Negative depressing people who have nothing but negative things to say! I have to visit this person regularly and it's sooooo draining. Even things going on with other people that don't effect them directly are a complete disaster!

Arrrggghhh! Where is the wine!! Right your turn.....

I have found my mardy twin! I HATE this!

also:

people in the wrong fucking lane at round a bouts - 3 times I have been cut up by dicks

and do 40 on a 40

Trying to sell my flat and the people booked to view tomorrow have both dropped out.

Because the job I was hoping I was going back to was given to some incompetent twat because he's cheaper than me wonder why that would be then you knob heads

Because I've had a headache for two days, not helped by DS having a stinking cold and not sleeping.

Thank fuck I too have Prosecco in the fridge, if I hadn't already put veggie chilli on to slow cook I'd be sending DP out for a takeaway so I could grumble about that too.

@feebeecat i have to agree with you there! I'm so fed up of hearing about Brexit! and my job is threatened by it too. #GetItOverWith

Further to earlier gripe re: not being allowed to do our ideal routine / display using small animals.

As I type my daughter has both dogs in the front room with a small stuffed toy on each bonce ready to launch on cue and I can't stop laughing now imagining us both with a headset and mic going "Now then boys and girls... we need two volunteers to join us with their little fluffy pets!!" and the look of absolute horror on everyone's face as we place them gently on the heads of two edgy looking sheepdogs.

She's even playing the music and keeping them in a perfect hold until the moment of magic when she throws both arms up to GO!!

Fluffykins and Twitchy .... Wheeeeeeee!

My DH going round to his fecking mother's when he has two other dbs live close by when Friday afternoon is the only Time all week we have a couple of hours to ourselves. I just told him l really am starting feel very resentful of her and he's just stomped out saying he'd remind me l said that when she's dead and gone. But when he complains at her endless demands (not emergencys all stuff she could do herself or other relatives could do) then that's alright.Like tonight he's gone just microwaving her tea which occy health have said she should and can do herself as its the only exercise she bloody gets.
I now visualize a fat chick sat on a nest with its mouth open squawking for someone come and feed her when l think of her. I keep telling him to stop doing thd few things for her that she is still perfectly capable of doing herself or gradually she just won't want to and her one fear is going in a home so he's really doing her no favours whatsoever.
Grrrrrrr.... and breathe.

one of the teachers at dd's school not knowing that the highway code is give way to pedestrians crossing the road, not accelerate at them really quickly.

autism. two autistic children. one has got their own cob on and is being obstreperous, pushing the boudaries, then gets cross when the consequences that I explained actually happen. the swearing at me is bloody annoying. Can't think who he got that off.

school run driving through side streets, and busy narrow roads, and fast roads and traffic islands with cars changing direction all overthe place.

I want the phone but the autistic one with the cob on is using it to self soothe. taking it off him would be worse than being pissed off at having to use the computer instead.

oo spudlet, hope ds and dh stop hurling soon, hope you don't hurl, poor all of you.

that is so not shit Mrs wolf.

hospital car parks are generally shit,

period from hell. Perimenopause sucks.

and though it's not his fault, my 6 year old had me up all night running a fever and is proper poorly today so I can't even wallow in period misery and scoff chocolate and binge watch The Mentalist.

I see your tailgaters and raise you lane bargers.

No indicating, no wait for a suitable gap, they just start moving sideways. I'm not sure whether the aim is to cut me up or sideswipe me into oblivion. Main culprit seems to be twatty men in BMWs and Audi's on the inner ring road.

Adult DC and one partner of an adult DC have boomeranged home to save for their own flats. They are all nice people, are contributing to bills and costs and work hard in ft jobs But they have filled my lovely house with their —tat— stuff and they seem to think that as I no longer work I will be happy to run after them like a little house elf.

@derxa Wellies, mud, sludge and endless traipsing and filling buckets and friggin about like that is part and parcel.

Still allowed to bitch and whine but it's a daily slog and part of life when it's what you do

Ooh, good thread!

DS2 has only slept the last two nights if held by me, full of cold today. I'm so tired. Was just about managing with the three feeds a night.

DS1 listening ears have gone awol.

I've had painful ankles for three days.

My team has expanded whilst I'm on maternity leave so someone I was training before I went on mat leave is now on the same level as me (I have ten years experience).

I have diastasis recti and look like I'm pregnant and none of my clothes fit.

MIL keeps making comments about me returning to work, how will I cope and that our house is never tidy enough. She seemed to think I would turn into a stepford wife when I became a mum! I may buy her Bad Moms for Mother's Day!

I'm suppose to be going out tomorrow as a surprise outing as an early birthday present shared with DH's birthday. I don't want to go, I hate surprises, they make me anxious. It's the first time I will be leaving EBF DS2 for a significant amount of time during the day and an hour away.

Hands out chocolate 🍫

Someone cutting me off whilst on the school run this morning.
Being given someone else's workload whilst someone else had a day off.
Just the news in general. Politics and murder everywhere.
Tesco not having any fajita powder.
Having to take my ds to football later this evening.

I want to add:
Trying to give up breastfeeding when your child is very very opposed.

THE FUCKING WIGGLES!!!!

Negative depressing people who have nothing but negative things to say! I have to visit this person regularly and it's sooooo draining. Even things going on with other people that don't effect them directly are a complete disaster. Have you been visiting my "D"M For?

I was supposed to be going away for the weekend with DH. First child free weekend in ages. BIL’s horror gf came for dinner on Tuesday and announced after an hour that she wasn’t eating as she’d been up all night being sick. My lovely MIL had been with her for a few hours in the afternoon and has now gone down with d&v so can’t babysit.
Chances are it’ll do the rounds of my kids as well, which could put my youngest (multiple health issues) in hospital.

Plan B was quiet night while the little ones are in bed as it’s friday so the teens will all be out... except the youth club is closed (same bug by the sounds of it) so they’ve decided to have pizza and PlayStation night.

Also my GP has declined to prescribe my inhaler until I have an asthma review. I can’t get an appointment for the nurse for 2 weeks. Had to explain asthma to the patronising receptionist who just wouldn’t grasp that she had to tell the GP I couldn’t see the nurse for a fortnight and therefore needed a prescription as I can’t be without an inhaler.

On the upside Asda subbed my wine for a nicer/dearer bottle so that will be opened after dinner.

• DH missing his flight back from Scandinavia this afternoon (probably not getting home till tomorrow some time!).
• New wonder medication(!) not working, at all.

Re tailgating, don't brake, drop down a couple of gears, no warning lights go on at the rear! I hate undipped headlights behind, the children used to have a mirror in the backseat for such charmers.

... I have to have a bap on : they were all out of cobs !

Working in a job where you are a tiny cog and nobody notices anything positive you do but nitpicks any teeny error. Depressing. I want a lottery win.

I got ID’d in Asda earlier and as I’m nearly 40 I don’t carry ID. The result being that I don’t have my prosecco but a wine that I don’t particularly like that cost a lot more from the local newsagent.
Not happy.

The puppy sicked up several large worms this morning. The image has burned into my retinas and I feel all odd.

I've found myself in a Whatsapp group with a mother of a PFB and she keeps spamming with pics of baby...the worst part is she adds hashtags IN WHATSAPP!!!

E.g. #babyboy #littleman #cute #mammasboy #toast TOAST FFS?!!

It's the school quiz tonight and I don't want to go. Sadly I am quizmistress so no bloody choice. I have been ill all week, fought through work with some from home, and all I want to do is sleep.

I'm supposed to be running 20 miles tomorrow for marathon training and I feel like I can barely walk up the school right now (250 yards)
