I can't handle this heat, only 24c here..supposedly 30c tomorrow, and I have a long challenging shift ahead, factor 50 on, water spray, and will get up extra early to buy a big giant bottle of ice tea from lidl on my way.. I bought one of these cooling towels for the piggy..it reminds me of a chamois..meh and the water bottle keeps falling off of the grids..Sorry for the rant...(This is a great idea for a thread...:D)
 
I am away on holiday atm and although I'm loving being away am silently stressing how my Piggies are in this heat. I'm sure they are OK but I'm not there to look after them. I just have to trust my piggy sitters! I haven't heard they're not coping. Guess I'll find out on Sunday.
 
I'm going to be out of my flat for a couple of weeks at least and the landlord is insisting it's not their responsibility to pay for the stuff that broke. It turns out there's a hole in the roof that they had to have known about (metal roof) so quite how they think they can shirk it I don't know. Even better is, the monitor that got wet was right underneath a hole in the ceiling I reported months ago and they told me it wasn't worth the money to replace it because it wasn't causing any issues. Y'know, til the indoor monsoon hit.
 
Why oh why! are folks still walking their dogs in this heat? Seeing the poor things on the paths and roads, l want to stop them,and ask them to remove their socks and shoes and walk beside their dogs, l'm sure they don't realise how hot the tarmac gets when it in full sun.
 
When someone phones you on holiday wanting personal information so you can open a joint bank account with your brother (I had been told by my brother this would happen) and you make arrangements for them to call back when you are home at a certain time of their choosing. You gather all the info together (including making a couple of phone calls, hunting out stuff off filing cabinets and looking up stuff on the internet) which takes about half an hour that you haven't got and then they don't call! :hb:😤

People who park in the disabled spots, because it's raining & they don't want to get wet.

I need an angry emoji for that..selfish beeps..I work as a support worker, don't drive, but plenty of workmates have a good grievance about that..and my mate has cp..and does rely on getting his own chair out on bad days..arrghhh..this is an ongoing rant...(sorry)
 
It's too clammy..and I have a horrible summer cold..and my daughter asked me to poo pick because she has a small cut on her hand..lol..we have nitrile gloves..
 
Not a summer cold...bad..bad..allergies..I believe it was brought on or exacerbated by a bag of particularly grassy green timothy hay from b&m I haven't slept properly in days. I hope it isn't dander allergies..I went to the shops and armed myself with 3 different types of antihistamine, the one a day one is doing not much..switching to non fragranced washing stuff (will share the GP surecare), not drying outdoors, wonder balm up on my nostrils and hoovering with my dear Henry after every time the pigs are out. I am determined to stop the symptoms, I had been hayfever free for years..
For now the horrible hay has been bagged up and sealed with tape..the guinea pigs have emergency wagg meadow hay, this bag is decent, being wolfed down..until I try some orchard hay or alternative. Meh of course if I turn out allergic to GP dander I will be hoping/demanding the doc can put me on the mad strong antihistamines I had as a teenager. I will also try a cheap air purifier from argos..I just need to get a decent nights sleep..too much to do..school and back to work next week etc..arrghh..I am feeling a bit mad tbh...oof big long ramble rant..grrr..! Ramblestrut!
 
Waiting in all day for Yodel to deliver an important package and there’s no sign of them, their web chat never seems to connect either... grumble
 
When my lovely neighbour and best friend says she's hungry then refuses to eat anything and opens the wine and proceeds to get drunk and complain how hungry she is.
 
When I'm staying with my MIL and cook Sunday lunch for her (she hates cooking) and have timed it just right for 12.30pm and she turns the oven down so the roast potatoes don't cook and then she turns the gas down so the veg don't cook either and then she complains that lunch is late! Well it would have been on time wouldn't it if she hadn't turned the temperature of everything down!?!?!?!?! 😤

Seriously if you're not cooking the food then you keep your hands off it, the cooker, the oven. It really isn't difficult, you have a lot more patience for your MIL than I'd have.
 
I love my MIL and she is a very good friend. It's one of her "lovable" faults. She always thinks I have the oven up too high. She thinks 150 degrees is a high oven temperature and if I have the oven on 175 degrees well that is clearly far too high and the oven must be turned down.
 
I'm actually genuinely worried about how she's cooking her food if she thinks 150 is a good temperature. That can't be safe.
 
Went to Tesco this morning for a few bits including a loaf. Got said loaf, some type of wholegrain round cob, put it in the bag provided and as I was taking it out of the basket it fell out on the floor and skidded a remarkable length. I was left holding a split bag. They offered to change the loaf reluctantly and someone went to get a new one. After 5 minutes the lady came back with a different loaf (white oblong) and said that there were none of the others left, so it’s plain white bread for toast tomorrow! Plus when I got home I realised I’d paid a fortune for a standard white loaf! ☹️ And she never even smiled which would have made a great difference

I will do if it carries on. I accept that it isn’t the dogs fault but the owners. I wouldn’t mind but it’s 6am every day x

We get that from a Shih Tzu next door, they put him out for 2 hours at a time, all he does is bark! When I question if he is ok, they laugh and say he hates being outside, well don’t leave him out then! they are nice neighbours but have a complete blind spot when it comes to “their baby”

Oh heck I feel your pain. Yes, this dog doesn’t like to be out either so I’ve no idea why they put him out! They’re nice enough people but still
