I don't know why but I feel really grumpy and out of sorts. On a short fuse.
I'd really like someone to be irritable with but theres only me.
Teddy is going to get it in the neck!

You (and Teddy) will be pleased to hear that following my discovery, in the kitchen cupboard, of a packet of Percy Pig my mood improved considerably.

Perhaps if Grumpy had been around I wouldn't have felt so irritable.......

My first thought on reading the heading was ‘leave Grumpy alone!’...... blush Sorry!

I used to have a small rubber ball that, when you threw it against a hard surface such as a wall or the floor, it emitted a loud sound of shattering glass. It was very therapeutic! Wonder where that went to?

Apparently the latest thing in therapy is to throw things so go into the garden with a pile of bottles and chuck them onto a hard surface!

I wouldn't do it, I would have to clear up the mess!

Sweating but swearing will also do just fine! Will that help with the grumps ?????

It's the weather!

Maw on that note grin and moon

I will leave the grumps to the other threads wink

Galen my friend came back from her cruise extremely grumpy - in fact I have never heard her so grumpy. She hated every minute of it and the stay in NY (which she hated even more).
I just listened on the phone and made appropriate sympathetic noises (and resolved never to do that cruise).

Have you considered posting an unpopular view on a politics thread?
grin
But it's all the other posters who get the grumps!

Do you know the piano is on my foot ???

No, but if you hum the tune I’ll follow you. grin

Galen Thu 11-Jan-18 23:03:53

I’m VERY GRUMPY INDEED
World watch out.
I had severe asthma on my cruise.
The weather wasn’t brilliant.
Very rude and uncouth fellow passengers
The only person who kept my sanity and allowed me to cope was my GN pal Bella
Returned home to find ive been overbooked for work sessions.
My Judge knows I’m always grumpy first thing, but said I was worse than usual
not really well enough to be at work but sense of duty won’t let me let claimants down by cancelling at short notice.
Hope I’ll be better after W/E off!

???????????

Chewbacca Thu 11-Jan-18 21:49:19

Nothing wrong with the chicken Eglantine, except it wasnt there. something else to feel grumpy about

Eglantine21 Thu 11-Jan-18 21:49:05

Huh the chicken didn't come out.

Eglantine21 Thu 11-Jan-18 21:47:37

Honestly, you start your own little grumpy thread and people one on making JOKES and being nice.
A total lack of sympathy and understanding.

What is the point? [roast chicken]

Yeh , so, what's wrong with the chicken......

Bathsheba Thu 11-Jan-18 21:39:08

Well you may be feeling grumpy Eglantine, but this thread is making me smile smile. Sorry! (ducks behind the sofa with tin hat)

Chewbacca Thu 11-Jan-18 21:34:48

You could always pass the grumpiness on Eglantine? A bit like smiling at a stranger to pass on the happiness; but in reverse? How about kicking a empty tin can down your street, at about midnight? That would make a lot of people grumpy.

Grumble away! Feel free! This time of year is grim - especially those grey cold days when it seems to seep into your pores. But....one compensation of being older is that time passes faster. So, spring will not be long at all!
