What do you want to rant about today? #19

[Kim Mild]

Does anyone else feel the need for a "Random thoughts" thread on Tattle where you can just dump random things you think about that you want to share with someone but that don't really fit into any other thread?
Like sometimes I have thoughts that I wanna share but that aren't really a rant or anything and I don't know where to do it.
If there is already a thread like that please direct me to it, I went to a museum today and I have a lot of thoughts I want to dump somewhere lol.

Yes , please start one.

I wouldnt last a day doing that, sounds like madness.

I lasted 2 days then the sweating stress of them trying to locate who had parked in front of me and behind was too much

It's now 19 my husband spoke to the csa yesterday it used to be 21 but they are bringing the age down if the csa gets invovled he will be paying nearly £500.00 a month we can't afford that they came to a mutual reasonable monthly amount until she was 18 on which they both agreed now shes gone back on it

It's 19y and 364 days - they have to be under 20 if in FT education:

Not like she’s got anywhere to be

Depending on what it is they might have no fees with eBay….they’ve abolished them on certain items to compete with Vinted and the like

It's my birthday tomorrow and want to do something on the weekend with my family. Not seen 3 of my neices since February and I'm missing them. Asked my mum a few weeks ago and it was just like "yeah yeah cool" nothing has been organised even though ive mentioned it, only my sister has invited me to hers for the day. Just sick of my disorganised family!

Happy birthday!

The kid opposite us went to prom - they hired TWO Ferraris, got about 25 people out to take photos, then the date showed up looking like he was going to a wedding in Santorini. Crazy!

Sounds a bit chavtastic!

 

[OnlyHereForTheLolz]

I’m being silly but I’m getting myself worked up. My dad is a large man, very broad and very tall and we’re going to a concert tonight and I’m terrified he won’t fit the seats. We almost always get aisle seats but this time we couldn’t, and I know it’s irrational to think this way as he is constantly at football games etc and manages even if it’s cramped, but concert etiquette has been so shit since lockdown and I’m worried someone will kick off

Nah, don’t worry about it

A bit behind due to long hospital visits and went to do my Amazon order and they have increased the minimum free delivery order to £35. I don't want their 8.99 a month offer or yearly thing as one month spend over £100 on husband's medical needs then maybe 20 the next. I made the £25 month order work but this is going to take some working out. Really pissed me off, as if I don't have enough problems without this.

Oh that delivery charge is high. How are you?

 

[Pesky Tarian]

Possibly! Seems a bit better today but why do I have to get older haha.

Are you a side sleeper?. I was having neck, arm stiffness and treat myself to a side sleeper pillow. It's made a huge difference.

 

[Kim Mild]

My phone had a update and now it's being so slow. Wish I'd not bothered.

 

[emmer_moans]

someone has chalk graffiti’d “don’t die!” on our outdoor wall. How creepy and weird

kids? There's a gang of kids doing knock-door-run near me recently...sounds like something a kid would dare another kid to write on someone's house...

 

[storynerd]

The availability online is useless! Most the times when my local one says it’s full I manage to get one. Very annoying

In that case maybe I'll risk trying the other local one that's said it's full all day and seeing if I can get a spot

 

[Behelzabobs]

Oh god that sounds awful. I hope it improves

Thing is Ive never been a nervous traveller ever but I suppose there’s a first time for everything

 

[LouBug19]

Happy birthday!

Aww thank you!

 

[ellyjelly2]

Why is it strange please elaborate
18 years old are not children

It’s up to 20 if they are full time education or at least it was. The CSA are the best bet. I know a couple of friends who actually had to pay less.

That sounds very annoying. Sounds like you need to start properly avoiding them unless it's possible to just tell them that you prefer to spend some alone time on your commute ( which I think is a reasonable thing to say straight to someone). Otherwise you might need to:
A. Get a bus from the next bus stop and don't sit next to them
B. Pretend you're on the phone to someone
C. Pretend you didn't see them
D. A mix of the above


Honestly it's so annoying, when I was still commuting I hated running into coworkers in the bus. Luckily most were of the same opinion and would just say hi and not engage further

Also, at my work I'll sometimes just pop earphones in and not play anything, it does act as a deterrent to those colleagues who like to gossip at the end of the day when the work has been done. So maybe on the bus you can pop earbuds in and look like you are concentrating on a podcast or something?
---

I usually have to wait like 5-7 min for the bus but the next stop is quite far, also it's usually not very crowded so I can't easily pretend I didn't see her lol.
Also her desk is closer to the exit than mine, so sometimes we literally meet at the door as I'm walking out of the office

I've tried the phone trick too but I can't pretend I'm on the phone for an hour, and she'll just sit next to me anyway and wait for me to be finished :')

Thanks all! - like a panicking idiot I completely forgot about Debenhams now it's no longer on the High street (even though some of my old dresses came from there). Will have a look on there now - also Amazon, which I had a quick look on previously and gave up with as everything seemed to only be delivered in July.
I did look on Simply Be but unfortunately couldn't see anything suitable, I am fussier than I should be really given that I've only got a few days to find something.

A little more expensive but have you looked at Scarlett & jo - some nice dresses on their site and they fit nicely - I have several of their dresses and found them quite good - I am overweight and their styles suit me.

Distance learning isn’t an option as she does need support. It just breaks my heart. She is a clever girl with the right support. I also feel sad that she is so lonely and wants to make friends. Her school wasn’t in this area.

When no one communicated with each other. Had someone out yesterday because I had no electricity which I explained and was told someone would be out today to sort it. I had to explain what had been done yesterday because he was just told there's an issue but wasn't told what the issue was.
