@StandsForComfort
Don't dread the menopause. It may not be as bad for you as you think. I used to be a nightmare before every period - angry, unhappy, miserable for no reason at all - a total nightmare for my DH. And the stupid thing was, although it happened every single month, I was too miserable and brain dead to even link it with periods and get myself down to the doctor. Then the menopause hit. Yes - insomnia and hot flushes were ghastly, but I stopped being miserable every single month and no more mood swings.

I am tired of recycled soap story lines.
Also tired of the fact I can't give up watching Eastenders! It's a guilty pleasure.

My life as it currently is - just don’t have the confidence or energy to make any changes though

Writing Schemes of Work which is pointless as no one will look at them anyway.
Oh yeah!

Also, my boss treating me like his PA. I had a full day and did the cover for an absent colleague now leave me the fuck alone!

maddiemookins16mum · 05/10/2021 20:35

The recent rain.
Oh and HMRC delays making my job 10 times more stressful than it needs to be.

@HarrietsweetHarriet

Almost all of the above. Musicians and bands who should know better. Coldplay's new single. Utter shite. Elton John & Dua Lipa's 'medley '. Might just as well be fucking Jive Bunny. Rod Stewart's latest single. They are all talented enough to know better (maybe not Coldplay) and are clealy doing it for the money - which I don't think they need. I mean, Elton wrote Tiny Dancer ( with Bernie Taupin) an absolute timeless gem of a song and now he churns out some shit he made during lockdown??? FFS. Open up the airwaves to new talent if that's the best you can do. Adverts like that one for Flash bastardising classic songs. Queen don't need the money. What happened to integrity? The above grinds my gears but I'm trying to be a bit light hearted. How to safeguard women is what keeps me awake at night.
The current Rod Stewart single is why he should have retired a long time ago. It is truly bad.

Job adverts that don’t tell you the hours, wage or what exactly the job is.

the80sweregreat · 05/10/2021 20:53

Rod Stewart, where do I start?
He had his day decades ago and I think he is now just bored and reliving the ' good old days' when people actually bought his records in droves and he had a bit of an edge.
His an odd ball now. However, he gave some model train enthusiasts money when some vandals destroyed their models ( which was horrible) so he did go up in my estimation then ! Seemed a genuine gesture too!

People in my life’s pregnancies… there’s been a massive baby boom and while I’m trying to be happy for them I’m just sad for me that we’re still waiting and hoping.

MdNdD · 05/10/2021 21:32

My kids’ father. Nothing is more tiresome than him.

Not being able to help my unhappy kids.

Thanks @wantanotherdog, I'll live in hope!

100%agree with you - I get most of my clothes from charity shops and keep them forever

Yup. And covid registers on top of normal class registers.
Angrymum22 · 05/10/2021 21:45

People moaning about going back to work. The rest of us have been back at work since lockdown began. Grow up and stop making excuses.

@HCHQ

Renovating my Victorian terrace which was supposed to be an exciting new start after a horrid breakup - think I've bitten off more than I can chew despite people telling me I'm doing amazingly well Confused Sad
Been there. You only see what had to be done. Other people see what progress you have made. You have to believe them and keep going. We had a house we called tenacity, for a good reason. It will be worth it.

Most men - old white rockers who should shut up and stay home - the strolling bones, rod stewart, Bob Dylan, etc etc
Old make actors still getting paired up with very young women both in films and in real life
Women's male partners who are younger than them being called "toyboys" insulting
White male Tories in suits who have no clue how women have to live
Male journalists who call any woman over 50 a granny but never call men grandad
The new law that says all female singers have to perform in their pants

My cosmos flowers that just won’t die. I’m SO sick of their white faces waving at me in the garden and I want to strim them into oblivion but then I’d feel bad. 😣
