That's it I'm done

[babasaclover]

Right that's it I'm done. I've been locked in this house since January. First due to health now Coronavirus. I'm done been positive and thankful for having a garden etc - i need to MOOOOOAAAAANNNNN.

Anyone else thoroughly fucked off with it all? Never thought I would miss work and mundane stuff.

Today was the day I reached saturation point !! Tiny flat no garden and my daughter getting thoroughly fed up, tearful and angry.

So fucking done. Really don't care any more let's just all die

Agreed, @Tootletum

I see no point in living now. Why are we so indispensable? Why is nobody listening to us?

I'm utterly pissed off with this fucking virus. It can fuck off and then fuck off some more.

InKog, I'm not sure it's complacency. I think it might be more desperation

@MonaCorona it's complacency. I'm in the most vulnerable category. As a result I have priority supermarket delivery slots, and have been using the local farm shop delivery service for fresh bread, milk, fruit and veg that needs topping up in the meantime. There's no need for anyone to go shopping.

The first two and a half weeks, no one went anywhere other than work. They kept their distance from me. Now DM is popping here and nipping there to buy things we don't need. DB is coming and sitting in the kitchen for a chat whilst I'm feeding DC and eating my dinner. They were both coming in the house round the back (bathroom and toilet is ground floor at the back of the house), changing clothes, showering immediately. Now it's "I'll just pop the kettle on and eat lunch, then I'll go and have a shower and change"

The fact I have no control over my health/risk level is concerning

I think we need our second wind. Which maybe if they tell us what their exit strategy is and that it includes testing, contact tracing and local quarantining, we will get.

Not a positive let’s do loads type of second wind but a we can do this kind of second wind. Someone on another thread has apparently managed to start two new businesses (unless it was a wind up). Just how???

Fed up with the annoying lockdown ads on tv too of people seemingly getting on just fine and the constant "we're all in it together" claptrap!! As someone said on here the other day, I don't want to learn a new language, paint or make fucking banana bread !!!

Yeah @cantata it's hard to see how the cure is any better than the disease now.

@phoenixrosehere your post sums up my life, all I want is a coffee in the garden in peace.

We are damaging the lives of 60m to save a relatively few (even if 40,000 die in the first wave) many of whom are likely to die anyway as very old or sick. This is not the greater good.

No. Horrible idea.

@1forAll74

Sorry but this doesn't help!

Stop this complaining.. at least you are alive

I'm feeling really low and this thread is doing me good.

@burritofan Get a little Halogen oven! They cook food loads quicker, I don't even use my oven anymore as I prefer the Halogen. £30 on Amazon

I'm fed the fuck up too. In a similar boat to you, been ill constantly over winter so been home more often than I've been out of the house, including just before lockdown. It looks like I caught the fucking thing anyway but I still have to act as if I haven't had because of no testing and just ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm fed up of seeing the same walls, the same garden, the same everything... Being ill with it and stuck in bed for weeks definitely hasn't helped. :(

Joining in!

Lost my contract on 30 March, fall through all of Rishi Sunak’s tiny little cracks so get absolutely sod all for help. DH chucked in work to become a SAHD in January. Excellent timing. Now spend about 20hrs a day job-hunting, 2 hrs a day eating and the other 2 trying to sleep.

When I was at university we had this thing called ‘Primal Scream’, 9pm on the Sunday night before finals week everyone on campus opens their windows and just howls with anxiety. I think we need to start doing that on alternate days from the 8pm clap for carers.

DH is usually really patient with the kids but he lost. his. shit. with them tonight, he almost broke down in tears because they haven’t listened to a word we’ve said in at least a week. They were good kids before then but now it’s like ‘what, you gonna send me to my room? I’M THERE ALL DAY ANYWAY!’

My stepmom lives on her own, my dad died last October, and she found out last summer she has motor neurone disease. She only has a few months of limited mobility left before she’s confined to a motorised wheelchair. And now she’s under quarantine during her last few good months.



I’M DONE WITH THIS.

I was a bit fed up tonight because our builder had to stop during a job for us. We have no shower or bath. We are on week six I think. Our bath is a washing up bowl placed on the shower tray. However once I got started and lathered up my hair I was ok. I used some lily of the valley so now I smell lovely and my hair is clean. I have a large jug to rinse off with just have to watch I don’t get the new plaster wet. I would love to go to my son’s and have a soak in his large bath.
Otherwise I am fine. The garden has kept me busy and this weather has been wonderful. I have painted the shed, the front door , the shed door, weeded and pruned and repotted plants. It is great to be out in the fresh air. We have only left home once to get food otherwise just walks of about an hour long.

Quim dentists are open for emergencies. My friend DIL is a dental nurse and they are working.

There's no need for anyone to go shopping

This highlights the problem. I go shopping every day, because I will kill myself if I can't at least see other people (oh, plus I have a severe health condition which means that I can't drive, but still have to feed teenagers. and it's not quite severe enough for me to think I can take a delivery slot from someone who is severely disabled, or shielding).

I loathe the stupid things on the pavement telling me to keep my distance, but I adhere to them. It doesn't stop me hating them, though.

I completely understand that some people might actually like social distancing. But for others, it's such a Hell that they might not bother at all. I am in the latter category.

I live alone and haven't experienced any kind of human touch for nearly 4 weeks. Even the neighbour's cat ran away from me today

fall through all of Rishi Sunak’s tiny little cracks so get absolutely sod all for help

Same here, @VoteForPayton There ought to be a special club for people like us.

Still, 91% of people apparently want the lockdown to continue. So that's alright, then.

Stop this complaining.. at least you are alive

Well, I wish I weren't.

Just play Pictionary with the family on line. Fucking hilarious

“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.”

What about the amateur musicians thinking people suddenly want to hear their/their offspring’s rendition of over the rainbow?

As pissed off as I am , no it shouldn't be lifted yet.

I couldn't go and see my mum or grandad even if it was so would still feel bloody miserable. And the kids dad couldn't fly over to give me a break so

Oh god dh was banging a saucepan. Probably as he had been working all day and enjoyed it 😂

Omg yes it does suck. We have done all the novel things like baking, sitting around reading, spending more time as a family, crafts, games, quizzes, but now all of it feels repetitive. My 2 boys are also in thr vulnerable category so I worry for them long term.

Dh is at risk of being furloughed/losing his job, we have an 87 mil who rings 3 or 4 times a day and my job is crazy yet I am never allowed to complain.

The worse thing for me is not being able to plan/not knowing what the future holds.

Really sad and pissed off that my holiday that id saved for a long time for is cancelled, we were meant to fly in 18 days. Also that ill be spending my birthday in lockdown too

I’ll tell you what I’m fed up with, all those cheery people popping up on social media with loads of brilliant, “effortless” things to do with your children during lockdown. Five Minute Mum I’m looking at you. Hey, spend two hours building a fort out of cereal boxes that your toddler will spend precisely three minutes playing with. Create a hopscotch with educational activities to complete on each square. Turn your living room into an obstacle course and wrap your children’s feet in bubble wrap?

I know, I know. But there’s just so much bloody content out there. Our nursery WhatsApp group are pinging each other every 5 seconds with thrilling ideas to entertain the children and I just think Put The Bloody Telly On.

And breathe.
