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.

And my car has been of the road for a month while the garage have tried to source a reconditioned electronic hand brake.
My car is fifteen years old and a new part costs more than the car is worth!
But on the bright side just heard they've found a part and are fixing it this afternoon. Fingers crossed!!!

My legs, neck, elbows and wrists have been stiff and painful for a month now but I've got to take advantage of a break in the rain to get up on a ladder and trim four shaggy shrubs.
Lawn needs mowing too but might leave that for now and say I'm growing a wildflower meadow.?

Ecological biodiversity rampant in my garden nasturtium nearly gone Lilly beetle no longer hungry . Cats not currently visiting .

I weighed myself this morning and I've put on 5 lb. It's the chocolate
and crisps that keep jumping in my trolley. This needs to stop but they won't listen. Last week some biscuits nipped in too. They sneak in the online food shop too, it's disgraceful.

Weather awful, pain in back , again, funny smell I can’t locate in bathroom/landing. Going to friends house tonight for ‘concert’ in garden, take a chair , a bottle and a plate of food! ( have I mentioned the rain) , today I could go on forever!!!!

Great thread Lessismore - like one of those semi-comical wry poems that resonate with others: I moan therefore I am.

Bad nights sleep cant get motivated this morning so probably just wont bother .

lovebeigecardigans1955 Fri 02-Aug-19 09:07:06

I should vacuum upstairs but I can't because puss is on the bed and he's scared of the noise.

I'm on a 'short list' for The Chase but they haven't rung back - there's a year to go before I get 'dumped.' I'm still waiting for Jeremy Clarkson or one of his underlings to request my (brilliant!?) presence. C'mon Jezza.

I could buy a Lotto ticket but I expect that as usual I won't select a single correct number.

I'm tired, my pimple has reached epic proportions overnight, I barely slept, and my bum pain has spread to my groin and down my leg.

Bellanonna Fri 02-Aug-19 08:36:23

I’ve often woken OH up from a deep snore, and he claims he wasn’t even asleep!

Yorksherlass Fri 02-Aug-19 08:33:16

Other half snoring all bloody night then says he didn’t sleep!!
Well I had a wonderful night , THANK YOU , ? sorry for shouting everyone ?

LullyDully Fri 02-Aug-19 08:20:21

Me too dannirae I keep waking up for no apparent reason. Then as I think about it I might as well go to the loo. I would love to go to sleep and wake up in the morning. Moan moan.

DanniRae Fri 02-Aug-19 08:09:41

Ok now I can join in the moaning.
I had a terrible nights sleep because I kept waking up....
I have a headache this morning....
We have grey skies in SE London....
It's only just after 8am - I feel I will be back later.....

ginny Thu 01-Aug-19 21:22:48

I would like to moan about someone who keeps burping loudly and never says ‘pardon’.
Such bad manners.angry

DanniRae Thu 01-Aug-19 21:11:05

Love this thread but unfortunately I am having a reasonable day so can't join in.......but give it time!

Namsnanny Thu 01-Aug-19 19:56:58

Bellanonna…..Me too! Wow, I didn't realise how much I needed a laugh grin

Boheminan…. Do your hens have all the 'necessaries' to make eggs?
I've been watching Marie Antoinette on telly. Louis XV1 was her under performing partner, and I immediately thought of your hens!
Keep us posted, I'm sure they'll deliver soon.

Lessismore...Loving this thread, just what we need for the summertime blues, Thanks!!

matson Thu 01-Aug-19 18:02:54

Hot !!!, it's positively chilly here ? fed up of it!!

Cabbie21 Thu 01-Aug-19 17:54:09

Just been sick. I think it was the effort of cleaning on a hot day.

Pantglas1 Thu 01-Aug-19 16:53:43

Most of the moans have been very different but hilarious reading for other people- we must carry on just like the Welcome to each day thread, where we tell each what’s coming up.

I’m sure I can find something to put a smile on your faces folks!

NotAGran55 Thu 01-Aug-19 16:47:36

I've got to leave Porto and the beautiful weather tomorrow and flog home from the airport on the M25 - The Road To Hell according to Chris Rea.

We are installing a new washing machine (bra wire became stuck in the old one, grrr) and so have emptied out the (smallish) utility room. The utility room has now completely taken over the (bigish) kitchen as on every surface there is now 'stuff'. Stuff we need, think we'll need or have needed. Correction: stuff I think I'll need etc. Mr C is obviously entirely innocent.

I will have to spend this afternoon 'going through' said stuff and throwing it away (or quietly putting it back when Mr C is having a snooze...). I'd rather be reading a book.

PS
I have, coincidentally just been presented with a book by Mr C, 'Washing Machine User Manual' and told I should break a habit of a lifetime and read it before using said contraption! Such fun.

Love this thread - it has really cheered me up.

Esther1 Thu 01-Aug-19 14:46:32

Also I put on 4lbs on last weigh-in and still keep picking at food. Tell me to Stop!

MissAdventure Thu 01-Aug-19 14:44:16

I need to tackle painting my wardrobes, and I now have heartburn due to my selfish neighbour making me eat that cake blush
