I ordered some stuff on-line from a site I have used before, but forgot to update the address to my new house... The DPD tracker reports my parcel is refused (because of my old address) but the fecker knows where I live and it is only just round the corner (maybe a 2 minute walk). He was an awkward fecker buying my old house and continues to meet my low opinion of him....

Imagine the delivery was damaged or incomplete though. Major extra hassle if he'd accepted it for you.

I forgot to tell the cats that I was going into work late so they woke me up at the same time as the alarm would normally have gone off. If I tell them I want a lie in they don't wake me. Also one of them didn't like his dinner tonight so went out, caught a mouse and put it, still wriggling, on my foot while I was eating my dinner. It's like a little protest about being fed Whiskas when he wanted Sheba. Grrr.

Being stuck in a hotel miles away from home when something goes wrong at home! Out little girl is in hospital again after febrile convulsions yet again...tried to manage temp with paracetamol and ibuprofen since this morning but she reached 41C at 8pm so it was time for the paramedics. She's settled now asleep in her hospital bed with 38c and blood tests are clear. I just feel so helpless! Just grateful of the NHS yet again!

Edit: sorry, sounds needy! All is okay, just needed to vent somewhere and thought of the org lol!

She's in the right place, and although you feel bad you aren't there she'll know you would be if you could be. No doubt she'll be charming the doctors in no time.

Vent away. It's tough being a dad.

Default Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Pokemon.

My 8 year old keeps firing nuggets of complete twaddle at me.
Utter mind numbing hogwash.

I bet you didn't either did you?
