Oh dear @PigglePuggle that sounds bad... Hope you start to feel better soon
Thank you everyone, I'll survive! I always seem to come down with this sort of thing just in time for my birthday, its like it starts as mild fresher's flu that I catch off the students but I can't take any time off to recover until reading week (start of November) so it just hangs around my tonsils and flares up on my busiest work weeks when I'm tired and have to talk none stop for 3 or 4 hours a day!
 
My rant for today is how so many people just don't care or arent willing to go slightly out of their way to help someone, human or animal. We drove past a field today, must be 5ft from the road? A pedestrian path width from road to the wall of the field. As we go past I spot a poor sheep stuck on her back, feet in the air. We werent able to stop as it wasnt safe to do so but there were plenty of other people stopped at the lights who could have pulled over, pedestrians walking past...not one person stopped to roll her back over. Sheep die on their backs as the grass in their stomach starts to ferment, causing gas which presses on the other internal organs and they suffocate at worst, at best the poor thing was probably going into shock. Even if someone doesn't know that, a sheep on it's back, legs rigid and in the air is clearly not having a good time :(

Anyway, I got onto the local facebook page to find the owner of the flock and through the grapevine about an hour later her owner was contacted and she was found. But I can't believe the amount of people who didn't do anything at the time who could have!
Aw, that’s so sad. We have turned a sheep over which had “rigwelted” she had got her wool caught on some barbed wire, no harm done , off she went to join her friends. I feel the vast majority of people nowadays seem to have become totally alienated from wildlife and rural life, the amount of ponies that get knocked down on the moors is appalling. Such a shame!
 
Yes, I hate it when Halloween is stocked in September, Christmas and Bonfire Night in October and Easter eggs after Christmas! Stupid and pointless, takes all the excitement away!
I always used to cringe at being given the task of finding ‘that‘ toy for Christmas, it takes me back trying to find those Ninja Turtles back in the late 80’s! 😫
 
We've had a very wet weekend. I'm still fuming over the bus driver who went straight past me on Friday evening. I was already drenched after the walk to the bus stop from work & had to stand 40 minutes in in waiting for the next bus. Get home nearly 2 hours after finishing work soaked to the bone! To top it off yesterday walking to the supermarket, a car sped up as it hit a puddle and drenched me. Why? Why rub it in that I have to walk in it & they are in a toasty warm car!

Wish I could drive... ☹
 
I always swerve if I see a puddle and someone walking on the pavement. Within reason of course. Sorry! 😡
 
Okay my rant for today... Letter home from school the very day the kids go back after half term asking for "payments towards x, y and z" oh and "could we please do this, that and the other." Refer to home work we parents sit and do with our children only for it not to be marked from one week to the next. Read with our children, do various creative requests teachers ask us for, check spellings, solve maths problems and answer questions about religion and ethics...
While we're at it, how about I just teach my own child? Lolll

Ouch! I have to say I was not amused when my youngest brought home her homework in the first/second week of this year (year 2). In year one they used to have spelling homework in the last half. All of a sudden she had spellings (has to write a sentence for each word) plus 3-4 other sheets of maths! It’s good they’re getting them to do it but we all know it’s in prep for sats at ks1!
 
I hate the queue thing in Lidl but never encountered it in Aldi. I have to say aldi has improved in terms of quality. My husband and I shopped there when it first opened and weren’t impressed. For context, he lived in Germany for a while and aldi is better than Lidl there. I prefer their yoghurt to Lidl now. But I once tried their pampers and my daughter reacted to them, so I switched back to the Lidl ones. They were used with all three kids and were good. Still use their wipes as well.
Best stop derailing 😁
 
Self service checkouts, it's takes about 10 members of staff at tesco to do all the i. D alcahol checking and sorting the crappy weighing scales out that can't sense a bag is on the scales, unless they have recently been calibrated. What a joke. Open 10 more tils, not rocket science
 
I hate self service it doesn't work for me. Sainsbury's scales can't detect there's a bag on them. I have this effect on anything technical it just breaks. :)) I prefer to be served by a human with a nice smile, take note Lidl, an unhappy scowling human who chucks your shopping at you doesn't encourage return custom.
 
Halloween should be celebrated over a week and cut down on Christmas, this year's gift is next years car boot sale tat
 
When they never open enough tills at aldi or lidl even though it is PACKED

This. The last time we were in our local Lidl there was one on a till, lets call them the "human tills" and half the self service tills were off. An assistant was stood faffing for 10 mins with one of the cash only tills & turned in to card only, bear in mind the queue for all tills was up the aisle (we'd been waiting in the cash self service queue). Mum gave her our shopping basket and walked out as when said we only have cash, the assistant said would have to join the queue for the "human till"! Not been back in since.
 
Taxi drivers, stop anywhere they like, block any road they want, never signal. I know its because they drive so much that they have gave up caring, but it's flaming annoying still

I was in a taxi last Friday to get to the cat and rabbit clinic and the driver did a u turn in the middle of a busy road.The other drivers weren't happy.

They are mad, I get why they do it because I'm a van driver and I really get sick of driving, but it's still no excuse. Took me 4 hours to get from Northampton to London this morning 😕 then I had to get to Birmingham and back to Northampton after 😴
 
Being tired all the time when I’m only 27 and there’s no reason to be so tired :roll:.
I'm the same, felt like they for years I could sleep for 12 hours then 3 hours later I'm really tired again so always try and get An hour's sleep on my days off.Ive always put it down to my antidepressants.

Yea I bet it is, citalopram make you tired I know that much.
 
That's what I've been on for the past 9 years.
I used to be, and I could fall asleep anywhere, anytime. I had to come off it. I only ever feel alert and awake if I'm properly hydrated, which I'm bad for keeping up with
