    Yeah, my post does not make much sense unless you know that my phone has died. Sorry!

    Flippin' sinuses are blocked up (I think it's them anyway at the back of my nose), it's not a big deal anyway but I think it's what's causing me to snore lately (like not just quietly snore, but shake the room snore apparently), but worse are people that blow things out of proportion, telling me I "should see a doctor immediately" and shoving the phone in front of my face telling me to "make an appointment today, come on, you're always putting things off", etc.

    I'm not "putting things off", I just have more important things to be doing, well, more important things from my perspective at least. Geez I'd be a full blown hypochondriac if I went to the doc every time I'd something bother me. I'll get some sinus stuff in boots later on, problem solved.

    Just in one of those moods today for some reason :(

    Creeps gonna creep :mad:

    There are damn good practical reasons for wearing short shorts when running in summer wet conditions, nobody likes having a load of wet material close to their skin. It isn't a fcuking invitation to every meathead out there.

    There will come a time when things will change from "Oooh hellya, dat azzz!" to "Ah sure look at the poor craytur going around with her arse hanging out, godelpaz!". :pac:

    I do my shopping every Thursday in the same supermarket.

    And every Thursday I see this woman and her husband in the shop. The woman has been wearing the same outfit every week for around a year.
    You might ask how I know this. Well I just do.

    Every week. Grey hoodie, black tracksuit bottoms badly frayed and too long so she's actually standing on the ends.
    The husband seems to change his outfit but she doesn't.

    And it annoys me because if I, a stranger, have noticed it, who else has?

    She is quite a large woman and I have absolutely no problem with her being overweight..and perhaps she finds it hard to find clothes, but c'mon, the same outfit on the same day every week?
    Would you not be mortified?

    There are plenty of places you can find plus-size clothing; I know for a fact Tesco's F&F website sells them, as does New Look, Debenhams, Evans, Forever 21, etc.

    I just don't see why she has to wear the same outfit every week!
    Who knows, she probably wears it every day...if she wears it every Thursday then there's every chance she wears it every day.

    It's getting to the stage where, if she has her back to me, I know it's her by her outfit.

    Waking up from an unexpected nap and feeling very cold, shaky and confused.
    It's a horrible feeling.

    There's no almost about it, they are faking it. It's like the muppets on RTE who say "AR Tee Eeee." or "The Gorrdee." Fúcking saps.

    When out running on normal width footpaths that fit 2-3 people easily and people dramatically step out onto the road when they see me coming towards em. I'm not going to run you over, I'm size 8-10 we can both comfortably pass each other with plenty of room!

    Ah skittles I posted the opposite (the pavement jumpers not the drivers, I'd be delighted with a beep!), where they see you and refuse to move, meaning you have to go onto the round. Worst of all it happens when they are walking towards the traffic so they see whats coming behind you.

    Uh huh, I don't mind the looks and even the winks, but actual heckling (never the bad kind though which I'm very glad of) makes me run faster goddamit and I'm supposed to be running slow :pac:

    I'm super tired and just want to sit on the couch for a few minutes, but my cat really wants to play and won't leave me alone. I don't have the energy.

    Really shouldn't have gone for that unhealthy option for lunch today, knowing Friday is my pig-out lunch day anyway.
    Feel crap and tired after eating bad food!!
    Hopefully a run tonight will sweat the badness out of me.

    My nails. They're so weak recently :( One nail broke and I pulled it off but I went too far down so now it kills me every time I touch it. Another nail is broken, also too far down and I'm dreading when it falls off.

    Worst of all though, I've bruised my big toenail and omg the pain. I lost that nail a few years ago after bruising it so I'm guessing that's going to happen again :( sickening.

    I am so annoyed with myself that I can't stop eating lately. I've been doing so well with weightwatchers for the last year and a half and the past few weeks have been dreadful, I can't stop eating rubbish and I know that I'm going to put on the weight again if I don't stop but then I just reach for the chocolate again :mad:

    Quies foam earplugs will be your friends....or rather for everyone around you until you get those sinuses cleared. Best ear plugs I ever found.

    Well that certainly grabbed my attention
    Nothing thinly about it. I have a fantastic arse :D

    And now I am seriously intrigued.

    Look Whoopsie, in order to verify the veracity of your claims. I think it is only appropriate that somebody can confirm it. So on behalf of the fellow male Boardsies here, I would like to nominate myself to act as an adjudicator in this process. So in your own good time, you can PM me some photos highlighting your physical talents. This will then enable me to make a firm ruling on the matter.

    Don't think long term just til you get back on track. Break your day into three parts. Morning, afternoon, evening. At least if you're healthy two out of three of those of the day you can't write off the entire day. If you have chocolate in the afternoon, you still have a chance to be healthy the rest of the day.

    It does work if you break things down into smaller parts :)

    Ungrateful people. Got someone a dinner yesterday and all they could do was complain about how disgusting it was. No thanks for even thinking of them. This same person only ever comes to the house for food and wouldn't dream of saying once that they would pay. Hate that in people.

    Drying my daughters hair. No matter what conditioner or untangler or what have you, its always like Worzel Gummidge.
    Trying to brush is leads to an argument, blow drying leads to an argument. Then out of nowhere, out of the blue, it just seems to untangle itself.

    It untangles easier when dryer!

    Science. Bitches.

    Ok I'll stop finding positive answers to your annoyances now else I'll be on the list....

    TA that there's a channel 4 show on tonight called dogs on the dole, who thinks of crap like this?

    All I can think of now is my little terrier trotting up to get his jobseekers :-D
