Feet. Revolting things. Any type of footwear that exposes any part of bare feet in public should be banned.

Not so much a rant, more of a moan.

I saw far too many saggy man nipples and a cheeks hanging out of shorts yesterday. Can people really not put some clothes on to go to the shop?

Also, people who are stuck inside working on nice days don't want to hear how "lucky" we are to be inside with the air con on. Especially not when it's followed by "we're sat outside the pub and it's boiling!"

Well that’s a disappointing sky after all the bank holiday promises

(Doesn’t mean they haven’t been squealing in the hot tub for hours!)

Has he given you the correct form etc? When was the last time it was raised?

workmen. i need a relatively minor repair to my roof (i’m panicking about birds getting in through a gap ) and trying to find someone to do it is an absolute NIGHTMARE. they show up, look at it, and then never come back. i complete contact us forms on websites, no one ever replies to me. like, i’m here, i am willing to pay you, please can someone just climb up there and do it.

i’m on the verge of clambering up there myself but you would probably never hear from me again 🥲

Oh absolutely. Clearly saw the new rental rules about how often you can raise the rent and decided to try his luck. It’s all legal and above board but a pure money grab.

My partner. I have PMDD and also have suffered from depression since I was a child. At the moment both are flaring up and he just tells me he's sick of my low moods and said "you have no reason to be depressed. You are not homeless or living in a third world country where you have to walk miles a day to get water, so stop being so selfish, you don't need to be depressed'"!
Oh well, now he's mentioned I'm not a third world resident i can magically cheer up, that's my life time poor mental health cured then!!!

I'm away and having to spend the time in my hotel room because this heat is just giving me migraine

I was hoping to see a friend. Not while feeling like this I won't

Migraines are the absolute worst and always seem to strike when you are looking forward to something; hope you feel better soon.

No heat here in my part of Cornwall, just white sky! Maybe tomorrow.

Why are people so spiteful now? Not that this sort of person hasn't always existed but now it seems to be the default.

For example, the story about a billionaire and his Bollywood wife buying five flats in Notting Hill for 'servants quarters'. Okay, whatever, you do you. But why have to add that you will turn said flats into social housing if neighbours complain? How classy to use poverty as a weapon, how graceful to throw your wealth in people's face like that before they've even done anything that could possibly warrant such a repulsive attitude.

Such an unrelatable attitude to me.

I can get really unwell from the heat. Once we get into the mid-high 20s, I have to stay indoors. Learned my lesson after fainting a couple of times.

It feels unfair that everyone else can be happy in the sun but it just makes me feel unwell. Hugs to you, it's rotten.

Wanted to apply for a job. Not a massively high flying role - less money than I'm on now. They want a supporting statement addressing every "essential" criterion from the job description with an example. There are about 30 criteria. I feel like that is way too much to ask for a supporting statement. Why does it have to be so hard to get out of retail?

We have endured the 7am hot tub wake up call, ten hours of screaming, radio on full blast, outdoor widescreen tv of football all afternoon, plus obv the dog being ignored barking throughout. We have now come inside and closed all the windows as it’s fire pit time

Have you contacted Environmental Health? They need to be stopped.

Yeah, our council couldn’t be less interested if they tried. I’ve jumped through all their hoops and they always say there’s nothing they can do. Oh, I can ring the police if it’s at night though. Because they’d be so interested.
