Is today a good day or bad day for you?

Today should be a good day as it's my birthday but it's not been that good so far:

I'm stuck at work

No one seems to be that bothered that it's my birthday because i get married in 25 days and that seems more important to people

Oh dear.

I'm having a good day I suppose.

- E, who I manage, and his wife had a baby girl last night

- I am eating a delicious pesto, roasted pepper, sweetcorn, grilled baby tomato and mozzarella salad

- I was woken up by my purry cat snuggling up next to me in bed <fluff alert>

- I'm feeling creative

- I'm going for a run later

Er, that's it.

Bad for me too...

* I've just had 3 days off and now I'm back and my boss has just come back from a 3 week holiday and he's like a bear with sore head and I'm stuck in the office with him.

* H and I had a row last night and I can't stop dwelling on it.

* I'm tired ☹️

I'm having a good day on the whole. I have finally persuaded my dentist to straighten my teeth. I wish I had pressed harder years ago - I wanted them done 5 years ago in time for my wedding.

Bad

• I had about 3 hours sleep woke up sweating and then couldnt get back to sleep
• I now have a massive headache
• We have no money and too many bills
• House is a tip and neither of us have any energy to clean it
• Landlord is still doing our heads in

Oh mate ? I feel your pain.

Mine is:

* Woke up with locked jaw and pain all down my neck and across my temple thanks to my wisdom teeth which I have been trying to get removed for ages (vertical impactions but because there's no infection my old dentist wanted to leave them be - what about the pain though?!)

* Went to Emergency Dental Clinic at local hospital - "Oooh yes SLD, definitely impacted, would recommend surgery" says dental nurse. But does not have the power to refer, instead says I have to register, then get a diagnosis and then get referred for surgery. Well why did I go to you in the first place?! Oh yes, for the painkilling injection that didn't work. "But you can't feel your jaw now though can you SLD?" Er no, but I couldn't feel it in the first place it's locked! HR aren't picking up the phone so I can't book with Bupa for later in the week (no spaces today), grr.

* Was supposed to speak to ex last night re. his sale of our old house - called at 7.30, 8.00 and 8.30 - stupid tosser never called back and I wasted my evening waiting for the phone to ring, I had got myself all 'geed up' for it too.

* SB was too busy to come over last night and this morning he doesn't seem to have noticed my teeth traumas despite me complaining loudly on FB ? and lots of people have posted on my wall to see if I am ok. Stupid boy.

I am Queen of the Grumps, I'm going to go out and get some fresh air I think.?

I want to say good but don't want to jinx myself.

The children are off school ill so that's not so good. But I have done loads:

House is nearly clean

Wrote the childrens christmas present list (yes I know it's July but we have to start picking up).

Sorted our party booking for mine and my aunties birthday next month

Food is cooking

Going to watch a film later with popcorn with the kids.

Bad for me

-My BF of 8 years has dumped me, as he thinks its "for the best"

-Ive not eaten since Sunday night, but im not hungry

-Im living with my parents as destined to be here for the rest of my life

-I need to go to work today

Happy birthday Chids. ?

Mostly good here.

I think i'm starting to catch up on the sleep I lost over the last few weeks of allnighters, and today is the first day that I haven't felt like a zombie, and I don't feel like I'm about to faint when I stand up either which is a bit of a result. Nor have I cried over such atrocities as the fact that I can't quite get the buckle of my slingback on my sandals to sit flat (20 min sobbing episode on this last week).

Best of all, I've finished my big work deal and my interview is behind me, and on Thursday I head off on a bit of an adventure, tout seule. <mini wibble> I hope to come back chilled and focussed, because the rest of the year is oging to be very hectic and stressful and I won't be able to wing it the way I have the last 6 months.

Generally bad;

I have a headache that wont clear

I'm tired, not sleeping well

My house is full of dust

My builder decided he wanted to start work at 8am this morning, so I had to make sure I was decent by the time he arrived

Can't concentrate on work at the moment due to bad head (and it's lots of boring bitty bits)

I'm muchos skintos and supposed to be heading to Milan on a hen do this weekend with funds unknown

And some more things

• Noone is answering at the accountant's to tell me where my money is
• Still no word from our wedding photographer either
• It's my brithday in a couple of days and I don't want to be old

Sorry to all the others having a rubbish day and ? to those having a good one ?

I'm having a little cry now ☹️

I think it's bad. Son number 1 got up in a vile mood ( I don't mind this he is entitled to feel like crap ) his neck is sore and he is not sleeping well. Mr K is in pain with his neck and back and also not sleeping so that means we are all grouchy and tired. I want a new pair of shoes but can't find any I like and I am starving but don't know what to eat.

Happy birthday Chids and ? to all who are having a rubbish day. Oh and Jaz cry away and I will join you. I have loads of kleenex and may have to go out for choclit later if you wanna join me.

Mucho sympathy to SLD having pain in your teeth is truly awful so i really hope HR pull their finger out and get BUPA on it straightaway. Also big hug to Loopyloo - things will get better I promise.

For it's mainly been quite a good day

• I think i'm recovered from my partying on saturday - though i'm sure it never used to take me until tuesday to feel normal again!
• Mr Dooby seems to be getting on okay at his new job, he says there is a lot to learn but i'm sure he can do it and even better they are going to pay him on 25th July so moneywise things won't be quite as tight as we'd feared
• Despite having not a lot of money i seem to be making ends meet somehow which is good
• Somehow i managed to avoid getting a parking ticket yesterday, despite forgetting to put my monthly pre paid parking disk up ( i only realised when i got back to the car at 6 last night)

It's pretty good. I'm not at work and I had hotdogs for breakfast. I have wasted a lot of the day though and I do have a little bit of work to do but can't bring myself to switch on work laptop. I've got three hours to clean the house, action my emails and get ready before I leave to stay the night at my mates house.

? to anyone who needs one.

Another bad day here. Well sort of - I'm at work and have no work to do. Yesterday was the same. I'm totally and utterly bored.

I'm going to be made redundant (which I've known since last November), they keep changing the date, its currently the end of July. I'll see my boss tomorrow and she should have some news. I'm hoping I won't be here after 10am <wishful thinking> but scared that I'll still be here in August..... Ask me again tomorrow if its a good day or a bad day!

Middling day I think

Good

* The sun is shining which makes me happy

* A little thing, but my plants in my garden are flowering and that did cheer me up this morning

Bad

* I have a MAJOR deadline looming. I've been chasing answers on one section of the process for over 2 weeks now and I am getting nowhere. If I don't get an answer today it is going to mean another weekend of working and I physically can't do it. I am tired and grumpy and my team are starting to hate me as I am being very snappy and have no time for them. <wail>

I'm having the worst day ever. Have been arguing with H for the past 2 days. I know that it is me being unreasonable but cannot change that. I cannot forgive or forget something that happened nearly 4 years ago and I bring it up everytime we have an arguement.

It's not like was unfaithful but the fact that at the time he was too f*cking lazy to get off his backside and do something about the job he hated (we worked together) I ended up making all the sacrifices and now hate him for it as I am the one left to deal with it

A rubbish day here.

• the big sad thing is that my FIL died at the weekend- not a shock but very sad- it's especially sad for my husband, obviously, and I hate seeing him so unhappy. He hasn't been able to take any time off work, which is very hard for him.
• my son's ill, as am I- only minor things but enough to make us feel pretty horrid.
• am trying to work out the logistics of getting us all over to the UK for the funeral, people to look after the children during the service etc, and am struggling
• In just over an hour, eight toddlers (and their respective mothers) and coming over here to sing nursery rhymes for an hour. I can't think of anything I'm less in the modd for, to be frank ?

All in all, it's pretty shit.

really sorry to hear that knownowt ?

It's better than yesterday. I broke down at work whilst having a chat with my manager. I haven't had a good work year and I have my appraisal today. The feedback from him wasn't good so I'm really worried about this afternoon.

MrKB has 5 invoices outstanding with a customer of his and they aren't paying which is making him stressed and in turn me even more stressed than I am. [:'(]

I would say it's a crap to middling day.

• Only two more weeks of my notice to work, and then two weeks off before starting my new job - which is good.
• Two more weeks of being treated like the office leper - bad.
• Not sure if I'm ill or not. I'm so light headed i thought I was going to faint last night. Don't need to be ill with a new job coming up.

That is ***, KN. I've got leave to use up before I finish work in September, if I can be of any help looking after children please let me know.

Bless you KN, that it very sad and very tough when you are ill.

For me, it is a mixed bag

The Gin Palace is finally ours after a last minute glitch

My Car will not be back from the garage in time for us to drive it to spain this weekend. At least I am not in limbo anymore and have just booked flights instead.

My son is in a wonderful mood and has been for a few days now, which makes life a whole lot easier

A delivery I have been waiting ages for has still not arrived and I am now in receipt of another set of lame and unbeleiveable excuses from the supplier

Our planning permission application is now in its third generation and I am not liking the design anymore but am unable to have what I really want.

I have put on weight and I can't shift it and am not even sure why or how it arrived in the first place

The sun is out and I am looking forward to sitting in the garden and relaxing this afternoon

Not too bad I don't think!

?Happy Birthday Chids and big grins to all having good days, that's absolutely how it should be. ?

Hugs and sympathy for all going through the bad stuff, loopy and KN it must be particularly hard at the moment, I'm very sorry ?

I've just picked up my 'just in case' antibiotics (don't ask! There's no infection but they recommended I might want to take them as a precauation... and we wonder why we have superbugs eh. I haven't taken antibios since I had my ENT surgery back when I was 22 and I have no intention of doing it now on the offchance).

I've been out but I'm still in a grump - all I've managed to 'eat' is a Cafe Nero vanilla latte, how rubbish. Logged on to Facebook finally expecting a 'are you ok SLD' emal from SB. NO! NOTHING! Although it appears he's had time to make friends with two random girlies at 9.30 and 12.25 today - bah if I could grind my teeth I would! Grrr.

I'm now going to cheer myself up with some non-face pampering and by watching the Simpsons movie with some porn food*

*the last bit will have to happen in my mind, nil by mouth and all that. Boo.

About middling for me.

? I'm feeling happy with my weight for the first time in ages

? Running is going well

? I've decided to treat LOML to a fab dinner out on Friday - I haven't taken him anywhere nice for ages

? I have an interesting-sounding work function to go to tonight

? My cleaner came today so my flat will be shiny and lovely when I get home

☹️ I am really, really, really skint, have cut back in every area and am still struggling - said cleaner might have to be the next things to go and I so don't want to have to do that

☹️ New colleague who I spent the day with yesterday is a knob of the highest order

☹️ I'm not loving Hitched atm and I think I need to leave for good, but the habit is pretty tenacious

Anyway, hugs for all who need.

Bad - small child spent the night vomiting meaning I am tired, grumpy and stuck at home with said small child instead of being at work.

big hugs to everyone having a bad day.

Sorry to all having bad times, esp Knownowt. Happy birthday Chids ?

Really quite crap day here. Blazing rows at home last night, we can't come to any agreement about where we head next with our lives and it's ruining us. I've been sleeping badly and so am really tired and to cap it off I've got to go see bloody Mamma Mia with my mother tonight. Oh, and got a thanks but no thanks call from a job I'd interviewed for yesterday too.

On the up side I've got next week off work though, by god I need it.

Oh, I've done the 'annoyed at people who were on FB and didn't message me' thing until I realised that if you send a friend request, it doesn't come on your profile until the other person's OKed it. So it doesn't necessarily mean they were on at 9.30 and 12.25, that could be when the other person accepted the request. Maybe.

I take it all back. I've just seen my credit card statement and I've just got £80 from the annual cash back. Amazing how that can help the misery go.

Boop, that's so incredibly kind ? I'm sure I'll get something worked out though- the issue is that the funeral is in darkest Suffolk and my MIL has asked that children are around generally but that they don't come to the service itself. Makes things a bit tricky, obviously, but am sure I shall think of something.

Today is pretty good overall I think

? H lost a silly bet with me so I got to treat myself to a pair of manolos (that wil l teach him to be so sure he was right)

? Thanks to the Barneys sale I now have 2 pairs of manolos winging their way to me (well H had agreed to a pair at $X - so 2 pairs at $1/2 X each is also fair )

? I have a fabby Bliss triple Oxygen facial booked for tonight and she will deal with the huge spot that is tring to take over my face.

? I'm busy at work - in a good way.

? The septic tank has been replaced at the house and work is now starting on landscaping the garden

☹️ My loverly mate moves back to San Fransisco today but on the upside her family have a house in Sonoma and we are trying to do a visit in the autumn.

It terms of recent months ? I've had a good day.

I've had a delivery of muffins and spend lots of spendy buttons on Amazon buying lots of cook books.

I've watched some TV and generally chilled out really.

I'm going to cook some dinner in a bit (sausages with yorkshire puddings and mash) and then have a very luxurious bath. I'm going out tomorrow to see people other than immediate family so need to look like I haven't been in bed for 2 months. ?

?? to those in the know.
