Random Irritations

Right, we had made it 6 days but eventually it happened. The Israel / Palestine discussion is undeniably political. It is not feasible to discuss without it being so. On that basis we can not have any discussion as one post will inevitably lead to counter arguments and off we go.

A good number of posts have been cleared out, no more please.
 
Our neighbour uses the extractor fan in their en suite as white noise for their one year old to help them sleep but it creates just enough noise that we can hear it from our bedroom, too.
 
Had my flu jab yesterday and was offered the covid booster at the same time. I went for it and 24 hours later, having had a jab in each arm, I can barely lift either.

The housework will have to wait.
 
The kids are potentially allergic to strawberry, apparently it's one of the more common child allergies but the wife is allergic so no strawberries..

Anyways kids meds flavour? Strawberry.. (yes that sets off wife. Even strawberry hand soap does)

So when , like now they got a cough and need meds you go through the cherry stuff quickly

Finding it? Really difficult..

I have one pharmacy a good 10 mins drive away he usually has it I'll go later hopefully but walked them to nursery thought right I'll try day Lewis their own brand one is cherry

Nope only Calpol

Goodness sake 😂
 
My wife remembered with about a day's notice that she was supposed to be going out last night. I was booked in for my regular Thursday night football game, so we got my wife's brother to come and babysit - he doesn't have any experience but the idea was I'd put her to bed and she'd be asleep the whole time since I didn't need to leave until 8pm. Unfortunately as I was putting her down she starts screaming her head off - having a massive teething episode at the worst possible time. I thought she was nodding off eventually so I left, but he rang me saying she was bawling her eyes out again so I had to turn around and drive home again. Missed football, and one of my best mates was back from injury so I missed seeing him as well. Great timing from the little one. 😢
 
I was away on business and got a call from my missus. She had tested positive for Covid. She thinks she picked it up at a works do last week as other attendees were reported as going down with it so as we had some kits from the lockdown she tested herself. I then had to rush to a pharmacy to buy a test kit. I'm negative three days on the run, but keeping myself away from other people in case I'm still a carrier.

My mum panders to the twins too much. Nursery is a 10 min walk with them. I always walk them both ways. On her days she lets them talk her into getting the bus one stop. Now they always want it lol

They will learn early life can by disappointing 🤣

Ah now the other annoyance she lets them finish their pack lunch .. no dinner is 4pm make them wait.

She's their grandma. Is it not basically her job to undermine you and give them anything they want?
