Feeling shite again

Feel free to ignore, as I know all I do is moan on here.

Just feeling c rap again. College/job thing is still not sorted, got stood up by a friend yesterday and my house is a tip, and I just cannot be arsed anymore.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Moan away!!! That's what MN is for! (don't mean that you always moan, just that it's here for a good rant when you need it).

It's pants when you are looking forward to doing something and it gets cancelled. Can you rearrange seeing friend? Get dc to help with housework?

FAQ · 30/08/2008 10:06

come and moan.........and if you want we can do a quick tidy up (once ex picks up the DS's - which could be any time in the next hour)..

I have at least an hour )longer depending on when he collects them) planned to tidy up before I go out.

Definatly won't be rearranging anything with friend.

I need to go get dressed, but can't be arsed to move.

Oh dc aren't here, not back until about 1:30.

cool - tell you what once ex has picked my DS's up (some time in the next 50 minutes) - we'll both go and get dressed (I have an interesting combination of oversized Rugby shirt and snoopy PJ's trousers on at the moment ) then we can do a quick zoot around - pick a few things to do and get them done before I go out around 12.30 ish

zippitippitoes · 30/08/2008 10:23

i was just going to start a gthread for you as i havent seen you to ask if you had sorted the college thing and when you were going away

but i checked first and found this

zippitippitoes · 30/08/2008 10:24

you will have a loverly holiday

Tidgypuds · 30/08/2008 10:32

Dont feel bad for having a moan. Sorry your not feeling too good.
I always find im least motivated to do things when Im down and the DCs are not here.
Do a combined get dressed and tidy a-thon with FAQ you will feel like your not doing it on your own.

Hope your feeling better soon.

MUMDONEGOOD · 30/08/2008 10:47

Know exactly how you feel. Hope you feel better soon. Its crap but we have to get through it I guess.

Am dressed now at least, and have put a load of washing on, put the rubbish out etc.

Holiday is a week tommorow. I am looking forward to it, although I still seem to have loads to do beforehand.

Haven't sorted colege yet no. Went to Matthew Boulton college yesterday and it was a waste of time so am back at square one.
Also have to go job centre on Friday for them to hassle me some more.

Next door are back fro their hols, so I just spoke to them about the rats that have been coming from their garden.

They already know about them and said they are coming from under the back fence. They said the HA also know but won't do anything, said it is the tennants responsibility, but surely if they are coming from outside the house/garden, then that it the HA's responsibility ??

Next door reckon loads of people in this street have got probs with them.

Great.

TwoToTango · 30/08/2008 13:01

Have you rung the Council about the rats - they'll come out quickly and sort the problem out.

IllegallyBrunette · 30/08/2008 13:05

I was waiting to speak to next door before I rung them.

Apparently though, the council have been out before and would only deal with rat nests or whatever they are, that were actually on a tennants property. They won't deal with anything outside of the property unless asked to do so by the HA.

Although,I think that may be bollocks.

They are all smiles again now because I have shown them the clothes I got them yesterday for their holiday.

Feel like have run out of steam wrt courses and jobs. Plus with me going away next week, I can't sort anything anyway.
