I’ll start. 🙂

I was coming home with three very heavy grocery shopping bags. I get on the bus, it’s mostly empty so I plonk two of my bags on the seat next to me and the third one between my legs.

Next thing I know, another woman asks me to move my bags so she can sit next to me.

There were lots of other seats available all around us. She could have sat anywhere else.

Obviously I moved my bags, and did the rest of my journey with them on my knees.

WHY did she have to pick that seat???

I can't stop EATING. Seriously, supposed to be on a diet and have had about 1,000 extra calories - and for the sake of it, not cause I was hungry or anything...

Waited at home for hours for a parcel that was supposed to arrive- it didn't.

Took car in for MOT.
Picked kids up from school. Ds2 managed to faceplant off his scooter, fall over in the queue when we went to a café to kill some time, fall off his chair and then fall off his scooter into a massive puddle right outside the garage.
Car failed. Only one thing, but serious. Considered walking home, but it was pissing it down and the kids were cranky. Did drive home, then when dh arrived home we swapped the kids car seats out and took my possibly dangerous car back to the garage as they can fix it tomorrow. Faff faff faff.
Why did it have to be pissing it down right then?
Other car due MOT next week. Road tax is due. Cat just had expensive vet trip.
I'm on day three of a Carrie-esque period and when I cried off a friends meet up yesterday nobody understood what I meant by that. Riding the crimson wave, shark week, Aunt Flo is visiting and we don't get on. Fecks sake.
European election postal votes have arrived. Is there any point?
Just got ds2 in the bath and he's covered in bumps and scrapes.
Ds1 wont stop repeating "PIZZA!" at the top of his voice. He's eight. It's anyones guess what's going through his head.
My trousers have ripped.

Yes to eating. And drinking, I had a great day but my piss taking lazy twatty colleague is doing my head in. Management have said they won’t do anything until after the summer and I can’t afford to leave so that it’s. I have no where to go but internal combustion.

My husband ate MY bag of fudge when I was out last night.

And my office coffee machine doesn't get switched on until half 8...which is fucking inconvenient when I get in at half 6

😡😡

The Haven advert which is on every single ad break (so every 5 minutes) on Capital and Heart. I was stuck on the motorway 3 hours this morning and 2 this afternoon so I must have heard it a million times. It really grates on me and actually makes me want to cancel my booked holiday to Haven!!!

MajesticWhine · 09/05/2019 21:24

I can't exercise as have been ill. And have been eating too much. And I put too much hot sauce in the chilli con carne tonight .And my family are all pissing me off.

Ineedamanipedi · 09/05/2019 21:24

Went for a (rare) bike ride with dp last night and today my fanjo is killing me.

Have had to cancel a holiday abroad as ds is now going to be going to a different high school to the one we expected and it clashes with the term dates. Gonna cost loads to rearrange flights.

Went to a town I go to often and the bloody workmen had finished building the new bloody road which I went down, got lost and ended up adding another 10 mins to my journey ffs!!

My mate has a dog that’s totally untrained and spoilt-he’s friendly enough but he just doesn’t understand he cant crush you every single time you sit down or not to yank so hard on a walk I sprained my ankle-and he just kept on going dragging me down the street

Her-he pulled me under a car today-it just missed me
Me-he needs to be trained and taught doggy manners
Her-I can’t afford a trainer tho
Me-I’ll come over and do 2 hours a week-all the have to do is carry on with what I show you
Her-yeah yeah oh and he’s put on weight-I don’t get why
Me-thinksstop feeding him endless junk food and maccys shakes then!
Me-you might need to see where you can cut down his treats
Her-he never has any!
facepalm

Every single day...

I lived in the UK for 14 years but moved back to my (cold, northern) home country last year. Been hearing all about Britain's glorious spring while watching snow fall at home. The city I live in now was on track to hit 20 celsius for the first time this year when I boarded a plane on Tuesday. Landed at Gatwick Wednesday morning and it has been pissing it down and cold ever since.

Also, all your lovely, lush blooming trees and flowers have given me hay fever (I think) so I can't visit my dear friend with a new infant in case it's actually a virus/cold.

Not just my day but sadly for the next 3 weeks. There are roadworks on a junction near my house. I live in a side road nearby (cul de sac so only one way in or out). When the lights are on red people don't leave a gap for people to get in or out of the road, so I am effectively trapped here unless I walk/cycle or go out early in the morning or late evening. It is 5 weeks in total, and a very long 5 weeks.
