The 'have a moan' thread

[emmasi]

There were some work jerks shouting at each other and doing god knows what in my neighbour's yard before 9am, and I was just trying to get to sleep! I don't like it when people violate the sound laws... no noise before 9am, *******s! >.<

[Di]

all I have done for the last hour or so, is retch and puke, I feel dreadful. Its deff not helping my kidney pain which hell right now, I don't know how much more I can take. I'm feeling a tad depressed abt it. As I had pains and problems since abt December last year been in hospital three times since Febuary.

I hope I'm well enough to pick Tom up from sch later this avro.

I had a very bad night, I've either been feeling sick or throwing for most of it. So apart from feeling sick, sore & crap, I'm soo tired.

Hmm it's going to be a fun time (not) for me to collect Tom from sch. As he has been to Blackpool all weekend, representing Yorkshire in theNational Athletics Finals .

Sorry just had to have a wee moan abt it.

[I love music]

I'm p****d off and had to come here to let off steam.

The landlord is building an extension above my flat and I woke this morning to damp patches all over the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen ceilings and running down parts of the walls. (Don't know how I slept through it but I'm a very deep sleeper!) The stupid workmen had removed the roof or something yesterday and all night long it had been windy and teeming with rain. Don't they listen to weather forecasts?

And then, believe it or not, things got even worse. No sooner had they come out this morning than one bright spark managed to put a big hole through the kitchen ceiling so loads of plaster fell down into the kitchen sink. I had to take the day off work and spent half the bloody day cleaning up and it's not over yet - they'll need to re-plaster and probably re-paint next week and can you imagine the mess?

The only plus side to the day was, having the day off, I got to take my little nephew for a stroll in his buggy.

But...aaargggghhhh!!!! Workmen!!!

Okay, things got worse before they got better (at least I think they're going to get better... )

We had another bout of torrential rain this morning so the bedroom ceiling was leaking in about three places again, only there were even more damp patches. I got in touch with the landlord and he came out to see for himself and was shocked, was really laying into the builder over the phone. Said he'd give me a month's rent back for the inconvenience (not sure whether to hold my breath or not, he did owe me £60 once and he did pay it but only after I reminded him some weeks later).

Anyway, the builders are coming out tomorrow to put a false roof over so *fingers crossed* we won't get any more rain till after then. To be on the safe side tho, I'm sleeping in the living room.

Family's been great, my sister and brother-in-law came down and helped me move stuff and put some plastic bags down over furniture and my brother-in-law's brother (who I know slightly) said to say if I needed any help to give him a ring, plus I have the option of sleeping at my sister's if I want.

Hopefully things will be sorted soon. Watch this space...

ps Sorry, I am reading everyone else's problems with sympathy, just so wrapped up in my own.

I am jsut about ready to kill something. And I mean it. After waiting a possible 35 days for a goddamn release of Season 5 [you all know how happy I was] I went to the store when they opened todsy and they told me that goddamn website was a goddamn fake. SO GUESS WHAT. NO GODDAMN SEASON 5 BOXSET. I've been upset all morning and now I'm really angry. Argh.

I got all 4 wisdom teeth out....so much pain!

I hate modern dentistry. They keep you concious as they rip your teeth out! Its pure torture.

Why can't they konk you out like they used to!

EDIT: I forgot the reason I came on here, My Ipod is broken, there is mist smoky stuuf oozing from the sides (cough *probably because I threw it around the room in a rage* end cough). It just suddenly started clicking non stop and froze, so it deserved the beating it got. I hate Ipods, the software is useless! everything has to be deleted in order to put new stuff on. There is no manual control of it, if its frozen you can turn it off without ripping the thing open and screeching wildly at the battery!!!!! Rant over.....for now

Tonight is the final night in my house! Well, the thing is we're moving tomorrow and I really don't want to go. I lived in this house for 15 years. I don't remember living anywhere else. It is so depressing seeing your whole life packed up in boxes. I know it's not meant to be a big deal, people move hosue all the time but I don't really feel like it has anything to do with me. It's mostly about my dad. We're down-sizing so he won't have a garden to worry about but the hard part is packing up all his stuff. He's making it so much harder! Mum's trying to be positive, calling it a new start, and I can kind of see that, but dad is continually complaining and making me feel bad about everything. I know he doesn't mean to but I can't help but feel like it always has to be about him. He's a great hourder (sp?) he has kept so much stuff. I'm guilty of that too but I'm making an effort to get rid of some of it. Dad is jsut packing boxes and saying he'll go through it when we unpack, but somehow I doubt that's going to happen. The fact is he's not going to be around forever and Mum and I'll be left to pick up the pieces.

I feel really mean now but I just had to let all of that out...

I was in that situation three years ago, Jen. So I know who you feel. And it does suck, it really does. As you said, seeing your whole life being packed into a few boxes is hard to take, especially when you don't want to go anywhere.

I moved to the other side of the country because of my parents problems. I was angry towards them for a while - but the anger will soon go away.

^^I can understand about being annoyed with the amount of things that parents keep and refuse to throw away.

I was always aware that there was so much around my house...but I hadn't realised exactly how much there was until we redecorated the whole house a few years ago. My dad refused to throw anything away.

When we started putting everything back after the work was completed...a lot of the re-arranging and sorting/cleaning was left to me. There was a lot to throw away anyway....so everytime I had to throw something away I rummaged through my parent's boxes and started chucking things out here and there. I also ended up taking many things to charity shops.

The tricky part was to make sure that I didn't get rid of something valuable. My dad hasn't even realised that there's so much less or that the boxes in the basement are more than half empty.

There are ways to get round this!!!

As for the moving house...Yes you will miss the house that has been your home for all these years...but you will get used to the new house that you will make your home.
