Things dat Trivyully Annoy You (part whatever) *MOD WARNING IN OP* NEW

Absolutely floored by a flu the last couple of days. Coughing all night as I feel the mucus drip down the back of my throat, needing to get up to pee more regularly than normal because I am drinking water to suppress the throat, shivering one minute and sweating the next, aches and pains all over. Wiped out after bringing the dog for a walk earlier when I'm usually not. Have done a couple of antigen tests, and they are all negative, but I feel worse now than I ever did when I had covid.

Of course, my ma says it's a delayed hangover because I was out celebrating a county final win last week, but it's definitely not that. But if it was one of the dearest brothers, she'd be a lot more sympathetic towards their plight!

Idiot on a bike nearly knocked me down flying past me on the footpath despite a nice wide bike path on the road.

My nose is dripping like a tap this morning and I'm also making Earth shattering sneezes as a result of a niggly head cold. It's only my second day back in work after being off for a week and I already feel like curling up in a corner and sleeping for the rest of the day.

Also, my Jack Russell terrier Toby has to wear the collar of shame until his next vet visit on Thursday as he cut the top of his winkie while rigorously humping his favourite pillow. He'll have to keep it on to stop him from biting at the wound and he's also on a course of antibiotics to prevent the wound from getting infected. We got him a much more comfortable foam collar but he ended up chewing through the strap on it so we had to reapply the plastic cone collar. Also the resulting vet bill floored me also, eating a big hole into my already meagre finances :(

They love chocolate....I find the base of a tea cake works well as you've the chocolate and biscuit.....or just use a chocolate biscuit.

If you use a live trap make sure you release them a few miles away from your house or they will find you again.

In this morning's tribulations:

- Next door's dogs got into our garden and couldn't get back over the wall. Chaos ensues!

- Gatsby finds (and eats) a bee! Was he stung? Is he allergic if so? Stay tuned to find out!

- Sister manages to get turmeric all over a white granite counter-top. Will bleach lift it? Are we going to have to pay to have it professionally cleaned/possibly replaced? I'll let you know in about half an hour!

Discarded beer cans on the road, seeing a lot of these lately. Usually Heineken and obviously thrown out the passenger side.

Who the actual fcuk does this? Drinks while taking a spin with someone??

Watery soup

Annoys the fook outta me, also many wine bottles, alot of which are broken and not easy to avoid on the bike 😡

Phone call to electrician 2 weeks ago

Need a job done in kitchen.

Ok, will call in the next few days to have a look............ didnt happen

Text message 3 days ago to give a gentle reminder. ...... no reply 😏

Feck sake either you want the job or you dont but just answer at least !

The fooker hasn't gone near the trap yet, but there is gnawed up paper elsewhere in the room, so it is still in there somewhere. I am waiting for a couple of reinforcements to gut the room, hopefully force it out of hiding and scamper out the door. Might even recruit the dog for extra cover. I will bravely man the sweeping brush from a safe distance of course.

The cat just sat watching me clean out the litter tray. Put it back in place and in she went and had a sh!te.

Zero fcuks given.

I know one of these, a friend's husband. D4 posho type born with a silver spoon in his gob but is now an alcoholic and on the dole. A real credit to his hard working parents! If he goes anywhere in the car (- as a passenger, he is off the road) he has to have a can on him.

He used to take them into the cinema too and wash his popcorn down with them. Then kick the remnants of the popcorn under the seats for the staff to clean. He was in his 30s at the time.
