Get out of my backside Karen, if I can turn or move slightly in a queue and FEEL YOU NEXT TO ME, you are TOO CLOSE, BACK IT UP!!!

General public are on the make people postal speed run!

Having to do a bunch of bank holiday chores while the wife is away, and one of those is to repaint our snug.

Only I go to get everything out, and discover that my expensive cutting in brush was used by the mother in law the other month when she went and stained the fences.

Now having to cut in with a really shitty brush, and regretting life's choices.

I always drive into the garage, park up, go buy a ticket for the car wash and then drive into the car wash, I do that because that feels like the logical thing to do.

What is annoying is when I have got my ticket and driven to the car wash only to find in front of me there is a car parked in front of the car wash, it's an empty car, because that person has parked up to go and buy a ticket for the car wash. So even though I am there, with a ticket ready to have my car cleaned, I can't because I'm waiting on someone who doesn't even have a ticket yet.

Imagine you go to a super market which has one single self serve checkout, you immediately pick up an empty basket and put it in the self serve checkout and then leave the basket to go and pick up your items, in the meantime a queue forms behind your basket of people who have already picked up their items and are ready to leave. Obviously those people stuck behind your empty basket will be annoyed as they are ready to leave but you have have effectively reserved the checkout until you are ready delaying everyone else. It's the same principle.

This is mental considering it is 3 times the average salary

Thunder storms on their way. What a gentle Bank Holiday this is.

That is all :(

Travelled away for a few weeks, podcast episodes all auto-downloaded whilst away, now have exciting Spanish and French adverts interrupting and at the beginning of my podcast episodes.

I ordered Greggs yesterday on Too Good To Go. Collection today between 18:30 and 19:00. I arrive at 18:32. Store is closed.

I got a refund, but still. I'm disabled and just making the journey is draining. I was expecting food. I ended up buying a Monster Energy from a nearby store instead.

That was supposed to be my food for the next 2 days 😭

( Not climate change, just people with goldfish memories. )

Cancelled contract on live chat, within the next 24 hours calls from VM started and lasted for 4 days, sometimes coming up as VM but sometimes from a mobile number, in total 14 of them.

I expect a missed call or 2 to try and get me to reconsider leaving but that amount of calls is excessive surely?

First was the sell to keep me. Why was I not offered these deals when I called to upgrade. And no you can’t match the new provider (even though they use you as the network provider). I’m going from £95 a month for 3 lines to £45 ( me , my dad, and my son) and we get unlimited data and calls

My kids aren't even back in school yet, I am actually livid. I'm going to write to their Chairman

I hate when companies offer next day delivery and as soon as the courier gets the item it will now be two to three days before it is planned to be delivered

Just so annoying

I've yet to pass my theory test ( doing it in 5 days!) But once I do, I'll start looking for a driving test because I've heard that there's like a 5-6 month wait for one which is just plain ridiculous.

My boyfriend failed his test 2 weeks ago and got a test but it's not until the end of January next year like what the fuck 😭

Honestly I wouldn't even mind failing the first time if I could test a test like the next month but it just puts so much more added pressure on learner drivers because all you're thinking about is if you fail this test you will be waiting 5-6 months for another one.

I feel like for young people now, everything is just so hard. I work part-time at a restaurant whilst building up my own business, and to get this part-time job, it took MONTHS of searching, countless applications, and rejections all to get a minimum wage job. Now, I'm paying £62 a week for 1.5 hours of driving lessons and will have to log on at 6 am every morning to fight for a test.

Not to mention the housing market, the state of the economy, and the general mess of the world in general.

( got a bit side tracked there, sorry)

Going back to my local supermarket: Fruits and veg covered in plastic, hardly any organic produce, no local specialties... I miss the saucisson aisle in Carrefour so much

Treated myself with name brand instead of Aldi's own and shouldn't have bothered, some lucky chap got my two!

Now I'm gonna get fat(ter)!

I’m super proud but wish I were Scottish £££
