Moaning thread

My friend called round this afternoon and before leaving used the loo which is downstairs. She was in there an awful long time and was obviously wrestling the devil as we could hear grunts and groans (small house/ no sound proofing ). I’ve just gone to use it now and she’s broken the toilet seat off .

Absolutely soaked through.....lawn half mown.

Me too gilly

I’m so sorry but this thread has got me in stitches

Husband has been watching cricket on TV for hours on end and it doesn't get more boring than that!

Just realised that makes no sense unless you were on the thread about being a twerp

Still dead Whitewavemark?!

WWM28 I hope you are resurrected soon

WWMK2 I am so sorry but that made me laugh!!!!

My "bleep bleep bleep" washing machine has just broken.............full of soapy water and my "whites"!!!!

My M&S credit card was rejected twice today, so I toddled into the M&S bank to find out the problem.

Apparently I’m dead.

Ancient blind and deaf dog now has the squits - cats laughing...?

Got back from a week in 'sunny' Yorkshire with DGS 7. Got a jobsworth at passport control because my DD and SILs marriage certificate was not a certified translation to English. permission to travel was.
Coming home got stuck on the M60 and missed our flight home, paid £483 for flights for 2 with Ryanair to get home.
(Brussels)
65 tomorrow was in hospital for 60th so nothing done, asked DD straight out yesterday if we were doing anything for my birthday and she looked at me as if I had two heads!!!!
Going to take myself and a book to the Irish Pub across the road for fish and chips and a large white wine this evening.

Dragonfly you shame me. I have a recurrence of a rodent ulcer which is a nuisance but can be " cured " by lancing. I'm fed up putting a huge plaster on it each day all for the sake of being brave a second time. I've put up with it for ages now, but it's not going to go away until I do something about it.

It's under my left breast, awkward or what ? Had it been on the end of my nose I 'd have had the bugger off !

I've got a degree in procrastination !

I have a rare kind of breast cancer which my oncologist says is not operable and my surgeon has booked me in for an op! Either way it cannot be cured just contained. However, I refuse to moan about it as there are so many other good things going on in my life.
I suppose though by putting it on here I am having a bit of a moan!!

I've just received a letter, proposing my redundancy. I'm 60, so I'll need to get another job. More importantly, the elderly people who attend the day centre I've been running have been left in the lurch. The same for the hard-working, loyal volunteers (one has been helping out for 20 years)
Apart from that, everything is fine.....

Brilliant thread! A brief list of my trivial woes: my OH constantly sniffs, can't watch or hear the news because of his pontificating about whatever's being said, son and his girlfriend hog our 1 bathroom so at nearly midday I haven't yet washed or dressed (clothes pegs for the nose anyone?). I have a dear friend with mental issues and though I know (and usually do) I should listen sympathetically, I am at screaming point hearing her bang on about the state of her house, her son's behaviour and her physical and mental health problems (which of course are far worse than anyone else's on the planet).
I think I am at serious risk of becoming a serial killer ...... and I don't have a patio to bury the bodies under....

The tomato plants in the greenhouse haven't grown and look black.
On the bright side, DH did bring in three small tomatoes but said "That's yer lot for this year"!

DH pranged the car into a fence even though I shouted 'Stop'. Apparently I made him jump, that's why he hit the fence.

Littleannie, how awful for you. I hope you get over it all soon and the pain lessens quickly.
annsixty, I can just see it. So glad you were able to laugh about it afterwards.

Poor you annsixty!
This getting old lark is no fun! Glad you were eventually able to see the funny side, but take care. I hope the photos will bring fond memories.

Horrible for you Littleannie - I'd like to lose a few pounds but I don't fancy your method.

to Littleannie - that sounds utterly awful, I hope you feel better soon

Yesterday would have been my 61st wedding anniversary.
I decided to look out some old photographs to take to a meet up with a very old friend who I haven't seen for 50+ years.
As I cant bend or kneel I got a small stool to sit on while
I looked in the bottom of cupboard.
I found out, not only can I not kneel or bend, I can't lower myself onto something low, the legs won't do it.
I crashed to the floor, grabbing a fireside chair to steady myself, that fell on top of me and I lay like a beached whale, absolutely helpless.I had fallen into the door of the cupboard which was wrenched off its hinges, splintering the wood.
As I lay there wondering what to do I looked into the cupboard and saw the photos I had been going to look for. Result.
I eventually pushed the chair off, rolled onto my front and crawled to a solid coffee table and managed to haul myself up.
I then burst into tears, thinking what could have happened
I felt like a very old lady indeed.
My GD was coming for a meal and by the time she got here I was seeing the funny side of it.
It would have made a super video .
I am bruised but unhurt.

Annie???

I had a tooth out 5 weeks ago. It went wrong. 3 lots of antibiotics. I ended up having to go to an oral surgeon who took a piece of bone out of my jaw, 15 stitches! The pain for the last 5 weeks has been indescribable.
We had to cancel our holiday. I have been living on mush - yogurt, porridge, ice cream, stewed apple. I am now 8 lbs lighter.
