Same @RedRedScab it's horrible isn't it.

bridgetreilly · 17/04/2020 18:41

Well, I'm moaning because the webcam I ordered on Tuesday with 'next day delivery' has just failed to be delivered for the second time because the delivery driver can't find my house and didn't bother to phone for help. Next available redelivery slot is Tuesday.

So 'next day' has become 'next week'.

Terrific.

I can’t be doing with shiny happy people and why with a whole fucking car park to go out did a fucker have to park next to me.

Fuck off!

Mummiepig · 17/04/2020 18:42

Yes swimming! I really miss swimming :(
I used to love getting the weekly shop, browsing the clothes and home items, choosing nice chocolate or wine and always treating myself to a special lunch on shopping day
Now I just run around grabbing random stuff so I can get out quickly,
It’s not the same, in fact I dread it now

Tana433 · 17/04/2020 18:42

Can i play too? The "no end in sight" is what is getting me down most. I know i have loads to be grateful for but sometimes you just need to have a little moan dont you?

Northernsoullover · 17/04/2020 18:42

I'm fed up. I am beyond fucked off that I won't get my holiday but that doesn't mean I'm not shitting myself about my family or me getting ill..I can be anxious about the bigger picture and upset about the small stuff too.

Sosadandempty · 17/04/2020 18:43

I want to be able to just admit that it’s shit without feeling guilty.

Me too. I am not contacting a family member at the moment because she attributed my being depressed by the increasing number of deaths to my anxiety.

It is objectively really sad and hard.

Oh dear @bridgetreilly
Nightmare (it really doesn't matter).

Dowser · 17/04/2020 18:45

Joys of strong
The number of times I shout
Fuck off at the telly
And we barely have it on
Even my mild mannered husband had started doing the same

And I need to see an osteopath as I’ve pulled a neck muscle and it’s killing me
That can fuck off as well

JoysOfString · 17/04/2020 18:46

quim YES you’re so right - it is exactly like that endless miserable end of Christmas school holidays time except longer and with no coffee shops.

I’m also feeling lethargic and unproductive. I could just sleep all day. And that pisses me off in itself because there’s so much I have to - work plus all the extra cooking, cleaning and child-wrangling.

carnivalisover · 17/04/2020 18:47

fascinated · 17/04/2020 18:48

Yep, snapped at everyone over lunch and had to go out for a walk solo. My first in 4 weeks odd.

sanealaddin · 17/04/2020 18:48

I've coped ok but have struggled today. I hate the loss of freedom. I want to use a handbag, to mooch around Boots and buy a lipstick I don't need, have a glass of wine in a pub, get a bus, moan about the crowds of tourists in London, go to an art gallery. Jump on a train to Paris and drink red wine and eat frites. Fly to Greece and swim in a clear blue sea.

I know I'm very lucky compared to many. But this is not life as we know it.

Dowser · 17/04/2020 18:48

I’m very unproductive at the moment.
Dh is picking up all the slack so I feel guilty.
I hope he doesn’t fuck off
Lol

emmathedilemma · 17/04/2020 18:48

Can I join?
I've been home, alone except for the first few days, since the start of march, was off work sick and then went straight into working from home. No garden and local parks and streets are busier than ever so trying to exercise is so damn stressful....it feels like the gym in January when all the regulars can't move for the new year resolution folk!
What's really peeing me off is all the folk on social media who seem to be on an endless holiday, doing nice things with kids, desolate public footpaths on their doorstep and the sudden appararance of a home gym in the garden......they can fook right off and try working full time in a city centre flat with a view that never changes.
*pours more wine and vows (once again) to get up early to go for a run in the morning

RitmoRatmo · 17/04/2020 18:49

I’m fed up too. Working from home I’m horribly stressful job, single parent to two young DC’s, unable to see my wonderful boyfriend, worried about my vulnerable elderly parents, missing all my family, missing any adult company, missing being able to go running in the countryside & swimming (my coping strategies for my mental health), was only just getting on an even keel when lockdown kicked in after having been v ill with post-traumatic stress and work-related stress, have long-standing depression & anxiety which I feel on my own with now, no safety net, worried about being able to keep my job & home, worried about staying sane for the kids....

But, I’m doing fairly ok under the circumstances, by taking it a day at a time. Occasionally feel v overwhelmed though, but no one to tell so no choice but to carry on.

Dowser · 17/04/2020 18:50

I miss my Caravan and sitting in bed opening the curtain and first thing I See is a green field.
I love my home but I don’t have a view and err no
I’m not moving
I’ll leave in my wooden overcoat in 30 years time
Thank you very much

mbosnz · 17/04/2020 18:50

Well I've just had a bloody good blub, to use an old fashioned word. It's okay not to be okay.

I just want to be home. (Country wise).

burritofan · 17/04/2020 18:51

Lockdown hit halfway through a renovation leaving us with no garden – it's full of fallen-down fence and building rubble – and no front bit and no oven and fucking dust everywhere.

I AM SICK OF SAUCEPAN FOOD. We have pizza in the freezer, and fish fingers, and oven chips, and I just want to shove dinner in the oven instead of making it. I'm sick of the dust. I'm sick of DD banging on the window and hollering to go into the garden, which resembles a scene from Mad Max. I'm sick of the same four sodding walks – park, up the canal, down the canal, around the block. I'm sick of having to use the neighbour's front bit for our wheelie bins and thus can't tell them to STFU with shouty 3am phone calls. I am sick of not being able to buy emergency Mars Bars from the corner shop when teething DD goes bananas for boob.

And most of all I am SICK of FUCKING SAUCEPAN LADY who bangs her FUCKING SAUCEPAN for five minutes during the FUCKING BULLSHIT CLAPPING and wakes up my kid and shits all over my ovenless fucking evening every fucking week.

I miss hugging my patients. I’m a MH nurse and I miss being able to physically touch / comfort people.

carnivalisover · 17/04/2020 18:54

Dowser...where exactly can he fuck off too? Grin

Whenwillthisbeover · 17/04/2020 18:55

I am fucked off with people invading my space. I wfh, fucked off with DH here WFH too, house always being messy, having to refill the fridge endlessly, doing the dishwasher three times a day, disinfecting everything daily as DD frontline.

Today i had the most amazing day. I shopped at Morrisons on my own and there was loads of food, walked for five miles at 5:30 am alone and then took the oldies to essential hospital appointments.

What a treat. Thankful for small things
