What do you want to rant about today? #25

[Ndrangheta]

This thread should be a toilet book. My last toilet book was the Lonely Planet guide to Finland. There's nothing I don't know about that nation.

I’m sick of feeling unattractive. I feel when I do try to make an effort with my appearance it’s like mutton dressed as lamb.
Everyone of my fiancé’s friends partners/wifes/girlfriends are naturally beautiful and gorgeous and lovely and slim.
i just feel like a fat ugly troll that needs to get back under a bridge.

I know the feeling, I actually called myself an ugly troll the other day to a friend. I'm sick of feeling this way.

TK Maxx price stickers
Holy tit these feckers are evil

Also, stickers on laptops, the ones that say 'intel' etc. I have a sticky rectangle where there sticker was and nothing I have in the house will get rid of the residue. Why do they have to stick these things on laptops? Why not have the stickers on the bottom?!

Peanut butter, veg oil, or WD40 is what I use. (whatever is nearest).

I have 3 kids all with additional needs…. Middle and youngest severely autistic…. Youngest smears constantly and needs constant supervision…. I’ve got 3 more adults (my mum, dad and sister) coming for Xmas dinner! I’m cooking for 9 in total… I did it last year was no bother at all, everything ready weeks in advance was lovely
but this year my mental health has plummeted I’m on antidepressants, I’ve called my family crying so many times saying I can’t cope anymore, but felt it was expected of me to host again this year. Been a huge family fall out which my dad caused and my partner can’t stand him (won’t go into too much but my dad is basically the worlds biggest arse anyway but now the damage is done beyond repair) so was meant to be my sister then my mum got added on and now my dad too…. I’ve been given £30 towards it and my sister who is 31 no responsibilities has brought 1 cheesecake and a bag of 8p carrots.

im in the kitchen trying to get in the festive mood doing the prepping , partner has taken our eldest 2 to the cinema so I can get on in peace as they don’t sleep anyway. Thought my youngest was asleep I’ve sat outside his room for an hour, he’s preverbal and can only say a couple of words I hear “poo” I’ve run up he’s smeared poo everywhere. I’ve phoned my sister upset saying I don’t know how I’m gonna do this I’m so stressed. I’ve got the prep to do the wrapping to do. And she basically just went “well what do you want us to do about it? I’m really busy I’m wrapping presents and I’ve just had a bath,… fancy him taking the kids out he could of stayed and helped… I don’t know why your prepping everything anyway just do it on the day”

she has no idea how hard our everyday life is… this year has been our worst year yet. I’ve cried for help or even a little break so many times

I see so many people lately on fb (yes fb I know) on SEN parents groups I’m on about the support they get from the wider family but seems with my children that village disappears. Partners family don’t bother and live 5 minutes away, my family live 5 minutes away have promised my son he could have a sleep over for so many months now and then something comes up and nothing has materialised.
Just feel really fed up today.
Trying to get everything done is proving impossible and they don’t seem to want to help, but quite happy to chuck £30 at me and have me host a whole bleeping carvery for them and a spread in the evening.

I say this with the utmost love - tell them to duck off, un-invite them and spend your day exactly how YOU want it, whether that is making a meal for the people who deserve it (clue, just you guys), or getting yourself a takeaway, or eating crisps in your pants all day. They can be invited again when they learn to respect your time and treat you like a human being, not to mention one they love. Me? I'd never invite them again.

I also would never invite them again

I'm angry on your behalf, I have an additional needs child myself, I take my hat off to you as you and your partner sound like fantastic parents. I mean this kindly but tell them to get to duck and have a lovely quiet Christmas as a 5,they sound so disrespectful.

 

[LydiaDeetzHat]

When you get a xmas card with the message we must catch up soon, it's been years, and we haven't caught up and will probably not!

went to a friends wedding a while back. she was like we really need to catch up. she has a child now and we still havent

If you gently dab nail varnish on the glue, it should remove it. . Be careful not to smear it onto the laptop in case it removes the gloss/colour.

I feel this is a bit ungrateful but here goes.

I've got a December birthday. I've had a lifetime of "your birthday is too near Christmas" and "here's one present for your Christmas and birthday" so I never really bother about birthdays

In work, we do a collection,you get a cake and a voucher. I said not to bother with the voucher as we've had loads of celebrations this year, we've got another 2 collections going for staff specials events, weddings, babies and another member of staff has a birthday at the same time as me.

I joked they should buy me the caterpillar cake cos it's easy to cut.

Any way, I was trying to finish early on my birthday and they landed on me 30 minutes before I stopped with the cake (I wasn't best pleased as they'd had all day - my pal said they'd all been busy). And they gave me the Christmas version of the caterpillar cake. The gift voucher also had a Christmas motif on it and the birthday card was purchased from the local corner shop.

I know I'm ungrateful but I genuinely don't think it would have been hard to get a normal birthday cake and gift voucher. And bring the flaming thing earlier instead of keeping me late and putting me under pressure when im trying to get out the building.

Worst thing is, me and my pal were in the shop the night before getting a gift voucher for the manager and she was trying to buy an expensive birthday cake, which I thought might be for me and I wouldn't let her!!!! Cos I've been stung before - you get enough money for voucher but not the card or cake. Which is another reason I told them to poke it

Any way, I feel that I've been put on a situation where I'm constantly made to feel like I'm the odd ball but I feel that they've put no thought or effort into this and I'm supposed to be grateful but all I feel is insulted.

I really need to win the lottery!!!

Agreed. Tell them to duck off. Politely say you are under too much pressure and won’t be doing Christmas dinner for the whole family this year. They have today and tomorrow to sort their own sodding dinner out. If they get arsey with you then suggest they come round and wipe up smeared tit whilst singlehandedly prepping the Christmas dinner whilst you duck off and have a bath and see how they manage!!! Look after yourself, you can’t pour from an empty cup. All that matters is you and your kids. Sending love.

My minor rant today is I saw lando Norris yesterday in London, posted it on here as I thought people would be interested only to be met with “pics or it didn’t happen” or give more details “to be credible”. Basically accusing me of lying. I was driving so couldn’t get pics. Couldn’t give more details as literally saw him give keys to a valet at a hotel.

Wake up this morning and surprise bleeping surprise there’s pics of him in London! Guess I wasn’t lying! Won’t be posting on that thread again though so their loss. Some threads are lovely on here but others particularly ones with strong fandoms need to get a bleeping grip of themselves.

Do you mean nail varnish remover?

 

[Bobbleowl90]

I work in an office of 3 (including myself) and somebody we work for has given the other two a gift each for christmas and not me. Made me feel awkward and silly.

 

[Happy Lady]

More feeling frustrated than ranting. Back in October booked M&S food collection for 10am today. Always enjoy this as we also pick up other bits then come home feeling ready for Xmas.

Ordered new furniture for sun lounge to replace old that now has holes in fabric and seats have collapsed. Was promised delivery before Xmas but heard nothing! Checked with store who said they'd sent an email confirming was ready for delivery, but needed final payment first. We'd never received the email, so paid and asked for delivery before Xmas. Now they've text us to say delivery will be today - between 9am and 12.

So times clash. Grrrr. Other half said he wants me to take delivery if furniture as I'll check it better than him. He's offered to do the shop himself. Erm ... He'll forget stuff and bring back things not needed.

Please everyone, keep everything crossed that the furniture arrives at 9am.

Oh god, yes of course I do. Apologies. Thank you for pointing this out.

The bank have sent me a letter saying they are taking my credit card off me because I don't use it. It's my emergency back up fund ( I know I have to pay it back) . I also can't remember my pin number

 

[ChastityDingle]

Agree with all the others @beyondtired - call off the dinner. They have plenty of time to sort something out. And put yourself and your own family first.
