Annoying Things...

[Schnakes]

Lets do a list! I love lists!

* I have been looking forward to a nice hot bath and a cold glass of wine all day....went in the bathroom to turn the hot tap off and "pow!"......the stupid fiddly I-darent-change-it-in-a-dark-steamy-bathroom, light has blown. Marvellous.

* Ive been storing some frozen food for a friend whos freezer has died..go in the freezer today and it seems that half of it has been eaten by passing bears. (Or possibly MrS...). So great, Im going to have to replace all that now.

What would you like to add to the list?

- A husband who works from home on Fridays and yet, when I get home from a long day of creches, activities and courses for parents, says to me 'what are you cooking for dinner?'

-A son who leaves piles of dishes in his bedroom and brings them down to stack in the sink expecting the little magioc fairies to wash them up

[Joannechildmind]

- loading the washing machine with a dark wash, having checked all the pockets only to find when the wash has finished that a tissue MUST have been left somewhere and tissue bits have covered the whole wash i hate that.

- A daughter who asks to go somewhere totally unsuitable at the weekend and when I say no tells me she ought to have lied

[wendywu]

Having to unload the dishwasher before i can stack the dirty dishes in the sink into it.

Odd socks that come out of the washing machine when i know i only put pairs in.

The way my family all suddenly decide that they need to be doing something in the kitchen at 4 o,clock when i need to be getting dinner for mindees.

How when i let mindees choose a DVD to watch they can never agree.

How whenever i manage to get my paperwork up to date Ofsted bring something else out.

Doing my accounts. It seems to come round so fast

* when I am waiting for a delivery and just as I decide to take a chance for a "few minutes "in the toilet ..the doorbell rings!

* my daughter who comes home for the weekend complete with 2 weeks of washing and all her bedding and towels!

how my husband seems to find time to polish the engine bay of his beetle - but never has time to do any washing/ironing/cleaning etc - despite being out of work.

and how when i get up and think i will get on with the jobs that 'dh' leaves for me to do, i get an ear bashing for not having taken ds outside on a lovely day when he gets back in from the gym..... but i know i will get the same type of ear bashing if the house is left a tip.

[Schnakes]

This is a real bug bear of mine, and it might cause offence....but I cannot STAND seeing grown adults schlepping around the streets in tracksuits. (Not joggers - just people..you know what I mean?)

I think it says so much about the state of this country that that is concidered not only acceptable but even fashionable.

I also really really HATE the crowd on Britains Got Talent. Well, I hate the whole program, but my daughter loves it, so I have to endure the weekly "WWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"ing of "OFFOFFOFF" ing. I like to think we have evolved as a species, but obviously I was wrong!


I also cannot stand the way I have to unbutton my trousers after eating a meal. Does that meake me an old fogey or WHAT?!

[Chatterbox Childcare]

How I clean the house and 10 minutes after everyone comes home it looks like it hasn't been touched.

How I do all the washing and DS brings armfuls down for another 3 loads.

How DS never puts his clothes the right way round.

How DH always watched TV which seems to conflict with the program that I am watching and it stops the recording.

How "my time" always gets engulfed with everyone else's problems.

There isn't enough space on here but as you can see from the above, I am perfect!!

[TheBTeam]

My husband, my husband and again my husband!!

When i ask him for help, I give up waiting, and yet when he wants help he has to be like yesterday!!

How if he wants to relax we all should, but when i do (and i work harder), I am lazy!!

[Schnakes]

I hear that!

I have just thought of another one - one of my kids is currently being dropped off and picked up by her grandad and instead of knocking on the door or ringing the doorbell like a normal person he peers through the front room windows and taps on the windows! It is SO annoying. He doesnt speak English though, so I cant really address the problem with him, and I feel like if I said something to the mum it would come accross like I was being petty. It winds me up every day though!

i'd draw my curtains or play in another room to put a stop to that one!!

[Schnakes]

My house is totally open plan downstairs, apart from the hall, so unless I hid everyone in the cupboard under the stairs...!!!

Think I will do the curtains though..I think it looks so scruffy to have curtains closed during the day...still...its one or the other! LOL!!

[ORKSIE]

Made a lovely roast, family enjoyed it, so did i. Had a very naughty dessert too!
Then it was time to tidy the dishes...saw the rest of the meat left over, thought i'd have a little piece.... oh bother... broke the back of me molar off
Would'nt mind it was a lovely piece of meat
So i'm off to the walk in dentist centre
I am so scared of the dentist

[ORKSIE]

Hide behind the sofa Schnakes, like I did in DR Who when i was little

when you go to the toilet and the world wants to talk to you there and then

or you just sit down and the dog wants a wee

No i havent got weeing on the brain

or you climb to the top of a hill and you need a wee and theres a waterfall near by which isnt helping (that happened today to me, 3 miles down!!!!! )

[sarah707]

- When you go to the toilet to sit down and the seat is wet

- When you go to the toilet and the 3 year old creeps up to say boo

- When you need a wee and you've just been, got everyone ready, got in the car and started the engine... and you have to get them all out again because your toilet / car are not within sight / hearing distance of each other
