Black bloody friday..... sick of the sight of it
Unfollowed so many influencer shilling tit.Black bloody friday..... sick of the sight of it
October was a loooooong month indeed.Halloween took a whole month this year, what the hell? It’s less about trick or treating (or guising) and more about celebrating autumn as a whole, which is mental! Pumpkin picking and then carving is sh!t. It’s cold and difficult and you will cut your finger! The kids hate the goo and you get left with the mess! Also, pumpkins aren’t spicy, so those lattes aren’t necessary.
Every week my kids had something else they had to buy in or attend after hours, or wear (bring in a pound to wear a hat or something!) it’s supposed to be calm time before the madness of Christmas and it’s exhausting instead!!!
Also, don’t get me started on what’s happened to Christmas.
Yes! I don’t know where you live but the fact it’s become a ‘thing’ in the UK in only the last four or five years is so stupid. Because although most holidays are used as capitalist cash ins these days, at least they hide behind the facade of what they were originally about - and you have the choice of how much you focus on their original meaning and how much on shopping. But as we don’t celebrate thanksgiving in the UK, Black Friday makes no sense. It’s like having Boxing Day without Christmas, it doesn’t work. Other than for the most obviously cynical purpose of selling stuff.Black bloody friday..... sick of the sight of it

Yes that annoys me too. Similarly double negatives “I didn’t do nothing to her” - it sounds so obviously wrong out of context but I hear people use them all the time! I have to restrain myself from correcting them and sounding like a snob. I’m not a grammar pedant in the slightest but things like double negatives, “should of” etc stick out because they sound awful.Glad it's not just me then. How can people not know that it doesn't make sense when they use of instead of have ('ve).
Attention seeking to the max then when people ask what's wrong.. I'll pm you babePeople that check into hospitals on Facebook!

Amazon (American) and Asda (owned by Wal-Mart) started it off, seeing it as sales opportunities like they saw in the US. If they see a good way of boosting sales in one place, fair enough they were gonna try it elsewhere as well. Then everyone else joined in.I'm in the UK too and I totally dont understand why it's even become a thing!
I love this! These are the petty things of life that are so interesting. Getting unreasonably annoyed is a great joy. Makes you feel alive.This is incredibly specific, but those very fragile cheese biscuits- Carr’s Table Water. Every time I try to load Boursin onto one, I KNOW it’s going to collapse in the middle and drop onto the plate in large chunks. I *know* this but I keep doing it and getting angry when it happens.
This!People who say oh but she does look after her kids!! Or her kids are always nice and clean!!! I don't understand Aren't we supposed to look after our own children anyways? do we need credit doing what we're meant to do?
