Just popped in to use this as a safe place for a rant about many things that are grating on me (I'm such a grump in January!)
My niece who keeps posting pictures on FB of her 8 and 10 year olds wearing full makeup
... and who continually moans about her weight and neurological problems whilst every single photo of her includes a large serving of alcohol and endless references to her fully fitted home bar
It would seem to me that someone suffering from a neurological disorder might want to lay off imbibing a neurological toxin on a daily basis, but I'm sitting on my hands and biting my tongue (with difficulty!)
Her mother who alternates between moaning about her weight/ type 2 diabetes and posting recipes for extremely high calorie/fatty/sugary foods. That's when she's not posting an endless stream of sickly sweet 'motivational' *****.
My step-daughter who STILL (after 18 years) refuses to acknowledge that I exist - despite the fact that I didn't meet her father until a full 8 bloody years after he and her mum split up, yet expects me (as the major breadwinner) to cough up for Christmas/Birthday gifts for her children that I'm not even allowed to meet
The car tax and MOT both being due this month, which means that I can't afford to buy my spelt porridge
Especially in view of the fact that we are waiting for my husband to be laid off (an inevitability but we're waiting for the actual axe to fall on a daily basis).
And last, but by no means least, I hate that I have a freezer full of cake but am back on the healthy eating wagon! Comfort eating isn't going to solve the husband/job crisis (or indeed make me feel any better about it or myself) ... but still I want cake (though I'm manfully/ womanfully resisting!).
Rants over ... thanks for 'listening' x
