The weather is awful, it's not even August and the nights are drawing in. My husband has an irritating cough and the cat has disappeared.

It’s 4.30am and I’ve not slept a wink. Why? I suspect because my allegedly (large!) de caffeinated coffee ordered at 5 yesterday afternoon wasn’t. Oh well, I’ve nearly read a novel so not wasted time hmm.

The dishwasher has packed up, I’m already sick,of washing up, there’s another pile waiting. DH is ignoring it and also ignoring the fact I’ve worked my butt off all day and presented him with a lovely tea including home made ratatouille and fruit tartlets (all made with home-grown fruit and veg). Not a word of appreciation. Now he’s snoring his head off and I can’t sleep. hmm

Oh God, I completely forgot about the web cam. I'm in big trouble now.

I think I left it running (?) the other day when I was making an apple crumble. And there was the unfortunate incident with the Griselinia littoralis 'Variegata'.

I love cracking my knuckles, but I m afraid of damaging my finger joints.

'Sextortion' in my case was asking for money or they would release stolen web cam footage of me 'pleasuring myself'! Nearly fell off my chair laughing! Apparently the body of the message is usually something similar, relying on the fact that in the privacy of their own home people get up to and view all sorts! People are often too embarrassed to report it. I will - could be awful for someone else, but my 'conscience' is clear [angel]

Our house is cluttered as hell and I can't get motivated to do anything about it.

It leaks, needs a lot of expensive work and we can't find reliable builders to sort it.

My father is having a colonoscopy tomorrow and I'm worried but trying to get on with moaning about petty things instead.

Lessismore Thu 08-Aug-19 12:46:50

eek what's Sextortian please? I don't think anybody would want to sextort me.

knickas63 Thu 08-Aug-19 12:45:23

I fell over at the weekend and buggered my knee and ankle. My email, FB, Instagram were all hacked along with my Amazon, Next and Ebay accounts. Had to change all. Topped off with a 'Sextortion' email this morning old my old email account! Would be laughable if it wasn't so dangerous for someone more vulnerable. Mid day on a Thursday and I need a Gin (or two)

I hope you have a very big flat MissAdventure!

When DH drives to a carpark he gives me the ticket which I pocket, then pay for and hand back to him at the exit. When I drive I put the ticket between my legs, get out of car forgetting it, have to run back and scramble under car to find it, pay for it and put it into machine as we drive out. I am coming back as a man in my next life!!

I bought a large wool rug from John Lewis and it keeps shredding ball of fluff and I can't vacuum it as it clogs up the cleaner. Fed up.

What to do.... well later today, when I have the energy I am going back with todays collection of fluff and complain. Best bit of today is I have been given a bag of runner beans.

Had a dreadful couple of days trying to negotiate virgin media's on line support. Added poor customer service to my list of complaints!
On day 3 changed tack and went straight to the disconnection service ready to do battle!
There I 'met' a charming young Scot who arranged to replace the 5+ year-old failing equipment. Negotiated a new deal turning a £4 increase into an £11 pound reduction.
The following day a very pleasant young engineer arrived promptly and installed the new router and TiVo box!
Problems solved but my review praised the people involved while slaying the automated online 'assistant'!

gillybob Thu 08-Aug-19 12:32:11

Oh I slipped up there, forgot to moan.

Ah well here goes..... Its another sh*tty day weather wise here on Tyneside. Cloudy and heavy rain too, nowt new.

gillybob Thu 08-Aug-19 12:30:00

Why do I always battle on with things when they could easily be resolved , thinking they will go away ?
Trouble with me is I don't like bothering anyone.

You answered your own question there EllanVannin . I think its an inbuilt thing in some of us. I hope it gets sorted for you soon.

EllanVannin Thu 08-Aug-19 12:21:36

After my moan on the good morning thread about my "bloody" nose, my INR appointment has now been brought forward to 2pm today instead of next week. I've been scared of having a heavy fall of soot because of the warfarin. The dosage may need adjusting but I won't know until after the blood test.

My nose is so irritable but I daren't blow it just in case it doesn't stop bleeding. I'd been a bit dizzy and headachy this week but took no notice so now I hope it gets sorted.

Still no update on Bohemiam's non laying chickens!

GrannyGravy13 Thu 08-Aug-19 10:23:34

I have been sneezing and my nose has been like a leaky tap since the beginning of May, I have bloomin well had enough!!!!!

I have to have a camera down my throat into “flip knows where” before the end of the year!!!

MissAdventure Thu 08-Aug-19 10:00:59

I may have some for sale soon, Annie grin

Anniebach Thu 08-Aug-19 09:59:19

I decided yesterday to buy new sofas , don’t think I will now ?

MissAdventure Thu 08-Aug-19 09:52:33

Well, I won't be short of somewhere to sit. grin

SparklyGrandma Thu 08-Aug-19 03:50:46

MissAdventure that happened to me a few years ago, neither Ebay seller would take no for an answer so I have had 2 lovely double wooden Victorian wardrobes since....

Cost me a fortune, but hey I can’t complain I haven’t got room for my clothes ?

I'm sorry but your post had me hooting with laughter. Not, I hasten to add at your health issues, with which I sympathise and wish you the best - but because the whole post reminded me of a very old joke:

'She's having her womb removed and a new bathroom put in.'
It may have been Les Dawson.

Surely you know to say 'God Bless the Duke of Argyll!' when you rub your itch against the door post?

Feelingmyage55 Thu 08-Aug-19 01:00:45

gransal. ???. No prizes for guessing the answer I assume?

gransal Thu 08-Aug-19 00:52:52

I have a dh and a backscratcher. One is very reliable.

Feelingmyage55 Thu 08-Aug-19 00:32:38

I have an itch that I cannot reach and no one to ask to scratch it ☹️
