After all the bad news I've had this year, a recent bout of COVID as well, I'm feeling completely burnt out so booked the week off work (I work weds-fri) as it's my birthday and I needed some me time so desperately.
Nothing much planned. Sewing, shopping, cinema on my own followed by lunch. Just generally whatever I want.
Only now the toddler has what is likely a chest infection (apparently it's doing the rounds at nursery) so she's going to be home tomorrow and could be for the rest of the week. It's not her fault at all, it's no one's fault but I honestly could just sit here and cry because yet again my annual leave is taken up for others and not myself

That’s toddlers for you, full of bugs 🤧 hope she’s better soon 🤞
 
Thanks, she's had a miraculous recovery overnight. A million times better and no fever. She's still a bit tired but understandable. Might go for a walk later to get some fresh air and then she will be back at nursery tomorrow and we've agreed with them she can take her book bag to borrow a new book from the library as she was so upset this morning to realise she wasn't getting a new book today
 
I sent off a Halloween item to somebody. They chose and Argos click and collect address. They got notification that it had arrived. They claim they were late picking it up and that it was returned to sender yet I've never had it returned to me. Apparently it's my fault they never got it and want a refund? How is this possibly my fault? They also left it a good 2 weeks past Halloween to let me know it hasn't received! Why not let me know straight away? They want ME to find out where it is! I fulfilled my part of the contract by sending it of to the Argos address that was given, it was received by Argos. If they want to find out where it is it's up to them. They are not happy with me because I won't find out where it is or give them a refund. They are angry with themselves so are trying to make themselves feel better by passing it along to me. I have said that when I receive it back, I'm happy to give a refund.

I feel for you. I’m trying to sell a few bits on gumtree. People are sooooo annoying. Someone asked me last night if I could give them my IBAN number for my bank account. Errrrr no!
 
Sadly there are some people that are dishonest and will try to get out of things or obtain refunds dishonestly.
I’ve ordered and collected stuff and I always want the things I’ve bought straight away. So I wouldn’t leave stuff there for 2 weeks.
There are always terms and conditions that people should have read.
It’s not your fault at all Betsy !

Cheeky devils 🙄
 
I feel off.

I don't have a temperature, I don't even really have a headache. I certainly don't have a migraine. What I do have is something that feels like migraine fog and it refuses to shift. Which means I might have a migraine coming, but it's taking its sweet time turning up.

Do you usually get an update when it's collected from Argos too? To me it almost sounds like they picked it up and are trying to claim they didn't or something

No I don't get updates. That is exactly what I think too. I've had things returned from Argos in the past when they haven't been collected so I know that bit works.
 
Bah. Big party coming up and karaoke has been ordered. I cannot sing. At all. I know I don't have to sing...I'm an adult with free will...but there will be a lot of pressure to join in. Don't have the bravado to 'just go with it' either so now I'm just dreading this party.

I used to dread parties like that, now I don't go to parties at all.
 
Nightmares. It's easy to see where this one came from perhaps after all we've been through in recent months but I can't get it out of my head today, it's haunting me.
I couldn't get to sleep last night, after a week of not being able to wake up, not surprising! When I eventually did drop off it wasn't for long. I dreamt the boys had all died except Red and the vet was trying to take him away from me because I wasn't capable of looking after him properly. I woke up sobbing and have been close to tears all day, how can what is only a dream upset you so much?
 
I’ve been having trouble with this site for a few weeks. I finally (just) realized it’s only happening when I’m on a page where an ignored member has posted. I would have unignored them weeks ago if it meant I could offer sympathy and post.

@Lady Kelly , I feel your pain, we have lots of cold bugs going round our class currently, how I'm not ill too is beyond me!
It's ok to feel disappointed, whilst she can't help it you need time for you too. Xx

So I clearly jinxed myself with this post! Yesterday I did nothing but sneeze, today I am so bunged up I can hardly breathe, my throat is raw and my neck and ears ache! The nice lady at the pharmacy told me that colds people are getting currently are hanging around for weeks! 🤧🤒

I’m glad you found out what the problem was.

Horse - lame ☹️ Friday afternoon. I’ve worked out that on a £/kg ratio, a horse vet is actually cheaper than an Exotics vet. Wish I’d had 3 children - I’ve got a doctor and a lawyer. Love them both but why on earth didn’t I just have another and get a VET?
 
It seems extra cold today!

I'm a celebrity is annoying me. To me, most of them are coming across as whingeing bullies who are never happy with anything.
 
I agree Sar - I’m not sure any of them are really genuine - especially Mr Hancock - he’s got his Westminster act on 😂
 
Friend being selfish,not giving a time to when she will turn up,cutting up and causing others to stop because she has not given way to the right on the round about.Coming to me is her day out,nevermind me.Never returning the gesture to invite me out to her house.Saying i forgot,I'm busy and i need to leave early ! ive talked to this friend about how it makes me feel but nothing has changed and now I'm not sure how to proceed....toxic friend maybe :no:
 
We gave up TV years ago as it was all this reality rubbish and nothing worth watching. I'm sick of having to scroll through acres of reports on the news sites about this so called entertainment though! You'd think nothing was happening in the world.

I'd be tempted to not be in when she turns up if she can't give you a time. I'd also stall making future arrangements and spread her visits out a bit. It might give her pause for thought? Leaving early when you've made your time available to see her would drive me mad it doesn't sound like she takes your feelings into account at all. Friends who make you feel bad aren't really friends?
 
i agree ,ive already done the not being in ,but she just lets herself in.i need to ask for the keys.i agree i need to stall future arrangements and make myself busy,and try to join more clubs and interests!
