Thread #3. Fed Up With Being Chief Cook And Bottle Washer. Sunscreen.

[Solo]

Sorry Solo that should say B3 not B5 it is niacin.

Hi, don't know if any of you remember me. I haven't been around for a while as all I seemed to do on this thread was moan and I didn't want you to think that this was all I did.
Can I come back though? I'll try and be more optimistic - promise!

Foslady!!! Welcome back! :) It's lovely to see you . Listen, moaning is allowed on here - it's an important thing having a safe (anonymous) place to moan; please don't think you can't express your displeasure at life's crap because it's often good to know (sounds slightly sadistic) that you aren't alone whilst sinking in the quagmire. We all do it and none more than me!

Thanks Solo - sorry to hear of your son's bike - fgs, you can't have anything these days.....
Well, I'm still on my own, my superpowers have extended from making men have mid life crisis' (2 relationships - 2 mid life criis's =100% success rate......., also now becoming 1 Date Wonder Woman (when I can actually get a date), even the ones who said they were so, so keen to meet me again........and the one guy that had got under my skin and I blocked due to a last straw thing but have felt bad about ever since, Well I plucked up the courage and messaged him. He admitted he had been too full on, great to talk, how was life treating me, lots of chat, how his situation has improved, and I thought 'hmmmm, maybe......????'.....and then he messaged a couple of hours later to say he was talking to someone else but wants to stay friends with me, and who knows for the future. Well looking at the past I think I do, sadly.
So I'm still single, still on my own with dd who has turned into a frighteningly grown up 14 year old over the summer with more style and poise then I ever have!

Evening all . Busy as ever here, doing the secondary visits this month with 10yr old ds. He's off to big school next year, and needs to buck his behaviour up a bit too .

Sinking a bit too. Am currently comforting myself with chocolate.

How is your son solo?

Foslady, that guy doesn't sound good enough. Don't settle!

Is anyone else annoyed by the thread in AIBU right now about being tired? The one where the OP has 3 kids and is a LP? Some of the replies are just vile.

Hello! :)
Fos I'm also doing the school traipsing and I am so glad Dd is my last child! I couldn't do it again.
I agree with Squirmy he doesn't sound good enough for you or any woman and chocolate is good :)

Ds is a bit better on the outside but, he says his head is still a mess. He has got a cash in hand job which might turn into something permanent and a college course in bricklaying and a driving licence so, fingers crossed. It pays rubbish though at the moment; I just hope they aren't feeding him bs to get cheap labour.
Thanks for asking

Might have seen that thread although if it's the one I did see it's a couple of days old. I might send her a link to us in a PM if I can find it.

That's great, I really hope it works out. Is it an apprenticeship type thing? That'd be really good.

This is one that I was thinking about www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3037373-to-be-pissed-off-with-marrieds-who-don-t-work-complaining-they-are-tired

Bugger. Thank God for automatic petrol pumps so no one realised my card was refused . Had to use emergency card and then sit in the supermarket car park and do a balance transfer for rapidly decreasing savings. Ended up almost crying in the supermarket when they announced how close Christmas is.......sorry , I said I'd try not to moan but I guess it's one of those days today, I got myself wound up driving down here thinking how shit life is, I guess the big man up there wanted to show me how much shitter it can get.....

I know, be grateful that I have savings......

Oh crap - I just wanted to vent amongst others that have more likely been there,please don't think I'm after anything......shit

Fos all I can offer is a virtual shoulder and a virtual ((hug)) . It'll be okay; maybe not now but, you will see it get better.

Thanks Solo - better day today, eh? Think the anxiety and depression have kicked in again so everything seems magnified right now. Just got to push through it again and I'll be ok . And thank you for the shoulder, much appreciated x

It's like the tide isn't it? Ebbs and flows...but it's not forever; be positive. (Hugs) and shoulder available almost always :)

fos I've been there. Crisis transferring savings funds to maim account for something essential.

I'm forever telling myself I'll have an eBay and gumtree blitz to top it all up again .

Everyone okay?

If we can ban Sundays I'm ok . We seem to have an never ending battle of homework these days.

Are you ok solo?

If you see the haiku thread you’ll see how I’m feeling!
Dd’s Been away all weekend, her fathers away for the next two weekends so just us two.

How are things Solo?

Meglet I seem to have a never ending battle with myself and getting stuff done that needs doing. I battle with Dd because she is so rude. Just everything feels a battle right now. But I'm okay otherwise thanks! :)

How is everyone?

I'm tired. Obv

Oh yes, I'm tired out too :( Searching for schools for Dd at the moment and it's exhausting!

Consumed by secondary school application here too!

We have the start of GCSE coursework.........I dread the next two years.............

God! It's awful isn't it. I'll be so pleased when Dd turns 18. The schooling is my least favourite bit of parenting.

Hi ladies I have booked a hair appointment I am going to have my hair highlighted after dying it at home for over 20 years I would like to look as young as possible. Something to do with turning 54 in November lol.

I am also having it done into a different cut. I think it will be a nice way to brighten up the dark days of winter looming ahead! A new friend has recommended the hair salon and it ain't cheap so I hope to look a million dollars.

It is a struggle to get out of bed with these dark mornings isn't it......
