Not a nice start to my day one again this morning. Pulled a dead and mangled Kangaroo off the road, her head had been ran over quite a few times. Both back legs broken. The worst part, the lining of her pouch was hanging out, with her young joey twisted inside. I had to use my hands to tear the pouch open to get the joey out to make sure it wasn’t alive and suffering. Thankfully, He was dead, both little legs completely snapped. I dug a shallow grave using just my shoe and buried the baby as the crows were watching and waiting. I dragged the mothers body on top, and told them I was sorry. Why people don’t stop when they hit an animal is beyond me, Her baby probably didn’t die instantly. He could have been put out of his suffering much quicker if the driver had stopped and shown some compassion.

I’m so sorry, that’s awful :( Well done for stopping x
 
Had a driving instructor recommended to me. I messaged, they replied saying have no availability and have closed waiting list. I knew it was a long shot as my friend who recommended said this person is always in demand but still, I was hoping for something to go right for once 😢

Why don't people read things properly (or more likely use it as an excuse not to pay)? As many of you know I sell a few bits on ebay to fund my my fund. I took a low offer on some Newborn Leggings tonight. In 3 places it says Newborn, (In the title, the description and the item specifics). As soon as the buyer had paid, I got a message saying "Sorry is this not 6-9 month?" (Er no they are Newborn as it states in 3 different places). I sent her a very polite message back saying that I had already packed them for despatch and that they were definitely Newborn. She then asked me to cancel as her son is 6-9 months. I have cancelled.

I do not believe her. The listing clearly states in 3 places that they are Newborn (as previously mentioned) and who on earth describes their baby's age as 6-9 months? She could have told the truth and said she was sorry but she'd changed her mind!

My ex once told me this story about being in a café and ordered a fry, and it turned up with fried soda bread, and he said he asked her to send it back because he wanted grilled bread and was going on about how rude and unhelpful she was about it, claiming, "She just stood there slackjawed like it wasn't her problem or something."

He got fried bread because it says on the menu to ask for grilled specifically, and he never did. He wasn't impressed when I called him a jack***.
 
So there was a problem with paying my last energy bill. I knew this, knew what the problem was and it really wasn't a surprise to have them ring up and go "what gives". They wanted meter readings, for some reason there's mud in the cellar (boke) and I have no signal down there so the call got cut off. Took photos of the meter numbers, got out of the cellar, took off the boots so I didn't track mud though the living room, upload the photos to imgur so I can give the readings, and it's only when I look at them on a computer screen I realise that the massive spider web over the electric meter also had a spider on it.

THEN we're trying to arrange a payment again but there's a problem because my fingerprint reader isn't working and I genuinely can't access my online banking details without it. "Okay but payment." "I can't access the bank info." "Okay but payment." "I. Can't. Access. The. Bank. Info." "...okay but payment." We sorted it out in the end but really? I say can't, I mean can't, I don't mean won't or I'd say that instead.
 
My day got worse. Had an argument with brother and he finished it by saying he is going to say things to my work so that I lose my job. I sobbed for an hour.

Then making my tea, the butter tub slipped from my hands. Of course the lid came off and landed upside down... that was an interesting clean up.
 
Trapped my finger in the folding run, took to long for my brain to register why my finger hurt so of course squeezed harder, its already very sore.
Tried to fit old window blind to new velux window… nope despite both windows being the same size, they are not the same size somehow, and the old blind doesn’t fit!
Then tried to put the fan base back on(we store it in a box over winter) fan base will only fit back to front, no idea what we have done. Seems to be working despite being a bit wibbly.

Piggies would like to add their own…. hoomans are late with veg, due to messing about with fans and window blinds!

I feel bad for laughing, but I've done the exact same thing with trapped digits before, including the same slightly lackadaisical thought process.
 
Just fed up with the amount of crap life wants to throw at me right now. When I worked in advice I always regularly saw a certain type of client who just could never catch a break, it was always just one thing after another. Now that person seems to be me, I don't know when it started, or why it's happening to me but I would like it to stop now and just have a few months to actually breathe!
 
And to add to today's "ffs, really?" moments, I'm not convinced my fridge freezer is actually working.
 
Driving home, just on dark. Spot a lamb darting into a bush, pull over, then spend the next 10, 15 minutes following it with my hazards on and leaping out and catching it. Couldn’t see the flock of mother lambs anywhere. Wanted to just take it home and give it a good life away from farmers and destination slaughter house in the spring.
But decided to do ‘the right thing’ and drive up to the nearest and only house that looks like a farm house and give it to the farmer. He comes out, ‘not mine’ he says. ‘But know who’s it is’ and proceeds to take it from under my arms..he pulled it out from my arms by it head. Then loosely carried it by its head/shoulders with its legs flopping down, like it was a piece of dirt :soz: ‘I’ll take it if it’s not wanted?’ I said.
The reply was no of course.
I Should have just bloody taken it home.
 
Been awake since 12.45am. Woke up and felt a bit out of sorts. Brain has then been waffling on to itself about nothing important at all ever since.
Currently downstairs so I don't disturb my husband with my tossing and turning. Bah.
 
I'm really struggling at the minute for lots of reasons. I'm trapped at home, can't really see a way out and on top of mum needing an op my brother is doing his best attempt at ruining my life.

I would love to just pack up and drive away but that may never be possible. Don't know where to start in finding a decent driving instructor anymore. Life seems to be passing me by and because I'm stuck I'm missing out on so much.

Thank you. Got back into bed about 5am and managed a bit on and off till I had to to get up at 9am. Had a good day overall but flagging now. Hopefully I'll have a better night tonight!

I just need a stiff drink tonight and then panic over hubby being back at work tomorrow. She does great until after her nap and then just zones out and doesn't know what's going on. So I have been pee'd on, had two poos in pants, one bit on the floor which she stood in and freaked out about! All while hubby was cooking dinner

It'll get worse before it gets better. It'll suddenly click in her head.
 
When people impulse buy living animals, abuse and mistreat them because they don't know it's abuse, and then dump them on the street when they get too difficult to maintain. Because apparently living, amazing, small creatures are unimportant and "practice pets." Makes me SICK.

My colleague recommended a story - poo goes to pooland, you should find it on Google, there is also an app.

These were suggestions for one of our nursery families who were having difficulties.

It's got to the point where, if I'm talking about guinea pigs, I actively go out of my way to explain how much work they are (he says, sitting at his desk unable to eat crisps because of the unholy shrieking from upstairs every time the bag rustles), how much work they need, all of it. If someone's genuinely interested it won't put them off, but someone who sees a cute face and thinks "I'd like one too" might think twice about it.

Don't get me wrong, that was me with my first guinea pig in my teens. But I seem to be doubling down on it now with the skinnies, because they're "new" to a lot of people, but nobody wants to hear about the extra work involved.

Ah thanks! We have "no more nappies" and "princess Polly's potty" which got her interested in ditching the nappies. We're only on day 2 and she didn't poo yesterday so she's doing really well with it. We even went out on a dog walk today with no accidents
 
Some People really don’t give a stuff about their pets do they? Little black and white kitten from 3 doors down was looking for the food I put out for one of our strays. She’s so skinny and she was so hungry! This kitten has already had kittens herself… just unreal :( I fed her before I went back in because I wasn’t leaving her hungry. These people don’t even let the cats inside either, I just don’t see why people have them if they want nothing to do with them!
 
Good luck @Lady Kelly ! I'm still in the throws of potty training. My child is autistic, so there are additional challenges with potty training. Right now we are on a strict schedule of every two hours of having him sit on the potty. We even have a training paper we keep track of all the successes and failures. Potty training my other two children seemed to go easier.
 
Thinking back, Son No 3 was the hardest to potty train especially with poos and I found a sticker chart worked for best for him. Every time he did a wee in the potty he would have a sticker from one pack and every time he succeeded in pooing in the potty he got a "Special poo in the potty" sticker from another pack which had more much exciting pictures.
