I'm fed up with MN, fed up with the tv, fed up with going a walk and fed up with the weather

...in short. I'm fed up.

@ssd

I got showered and went out to the shops

........But I went to the Club........

We have taken up shouting at the tv. Mainly at the adverts, it's usually the same bloody adverts at the same time of day. So: 'Death and misery' whenever it's time for a over-50s life insurance ad. 'What about the free pillow?' for the mattress adverts. 'Winky wanker' at the Vanish man in the pink shirt. and so on...

A wonderful occupation, I have been doing this for as long as I can remember.

I've had interactive TV all my life!

@likeamillpond it was Where the Crawdads Sing.

Usually I'm an avid reader, until something blocks me. Each baby meant I didn't read for a couple of years. Every lockdown has stopped me reading. But I forced myself and I've lived reading again. Finished it last night.

I'd really recommend Educated by Tara Westover if you've already read that one. Fascinating stuff.

Thanks!

Me too. All I do is go to work and come home.
I don't see anybody socially, I can't see my eldest DC because of my job and theirs and my teenage DCs are working hard and doing their exercise with either each other (which I encourage) or with a friend they have decided to do all their socialising with - they go for a daily walk with a speciic friend. I don't want to go for a walk on my own as all I see is happy couples and friends out together walking which depresses me even more. I've either worked or sat on the sofa for months.
I'm depressed today, it's the birthday of my last surviving paternal Uncle - my Dad is dead and his sister is dead so my Uncle is the last one, I hadn't expected it to depress me but it has.

I was so bored last night I redownloaded Candy Crush 🙈 haven’t played that in about 10 years!

Aw. Pumpkinsoups. Some days are worse than others. It's good that the teenagers are doing what they're doing, but I know how lonely not being needed can be x. Start shouting winkywanker at the tv, as per pp 😊😊. I definitely think it's a sensible option, that I am going to try.

Same here. I’m dying to get to the mountains I could cry thinking about how much I miss them. I feel like my life and freedom has been snatched from me.

Fuck making candles though, that’s one thing I won’t be doing!

That's it exactly. Nobody needs me, at least nobody who I can see - my mother won't see us/can't see us and won't do facetime so I only speak to her on the phone.

The thought of shouting 'winkywanker' at the tv made me laugh though, I binge watched It's a sin last night, imagine yelling winkywanker at that

Well, I've just been to Tesco's. And now I am even more fed up!

Oh I hate shopping in the time of Covid.

No browsin' allowed.

I have found a free App for the iPad to do jigsaw puzzles, I find it holds my attention and passes the time. Have read an awful lot of books, but seem to have lost the concentration at the moment. Cutting back on news consumption seems to help too. I haven’t worked since last March, there seems such a lot of day to fill and although I did a lot of gardening last summer there is nothing much left to do until the weather is better.

Motivation sadly lacking here, so fed up of not going anywhere or seeing anyone.

Ugh I know @letitgogo I love browsing. A good ol' wander around the shops.

I'm with you OP, everything feels very shit atm doesn't it? Cannot get motivated to do anything and there isn't much to do anyway...

Well, I've got me self a date on Tuesday and I'm going out out!

Admittedly, it's with the vaccination team at my local hospital 15 minutes away, but I've got something different to do next week and I'll be out for nearly an hour!

I am fed up as well worked throughout on my 4 th job since being made redundant at the start of lockdown 1 left a covid related job that I really enjoyed but was temporary they just kept extending the contract for a permanent job i am in now very fortunate but don’t like it have had no gaps in between of annual leave so I am tired dh also worked throughout

Ds gcse this year have been cancelled dd is paying a fortune for university and got into an controlling relationship in lockdown 1 so that causes no end of drama despite her now being on ad and me paying for private counselling

Have tried to remain positive throughout but heard today my friends sil who got covid just before Christmas and took a turn for the worse and ended up in hospital. Meeting with the consultants today if she survives her best prognosis is on breathing equipment 24 hours a day and needing 24 a day care she 48 a teacher no health conditions so her husband and children have decided to let her go he’s in the navy so will have to change his career to care for the children

Me and dh actually have a day off together this weekend he works shifts and permanent night so hopefully a long dog walk together will snap me out of this low mood

Im so fed up ive taken Longandwide's advice at 18.48.
Well the ... learn about... bit.
