Have a grumble.

Albus_Scope

So we have a Happy Thoughts Only discussion, How's your day, Boring news and a mental health discussion, but I know sometimes having a bit of a grumble about things can be good for the soul too. Having it here also keeps it all in one place, so people can avoid the grumbling if they want. 😁So post away!

I'll start.

I've had to put my hoodie and socks on today and I don't like it. And my foot is hurting.

Love this! 😅 It's definitely good to get things off your chest. I always feel better afterwards. Sorry to hear about your outfit frustration and foot pain today. 😬

Very soggy out there and I've got two builders vans right outside my workroom today. The cement lorry is VERY noisy.

I really don’t like the cold, wet, damp weather. The rain seems to seep into my bones and it always sets something off — sometimes the fibromyalgia, sometimes the osteoarthritis… I can never quite tell which one, only that it hurts.

It’s that dull, dragging ache that makes me feel heavy and low. The damp seems to pull my mood down too, almost like it’s triggering a kind of melancholy alongside the physical pain.

I spend half the day massaging sore bits and rubbing in creams, hoping they’ll do something. Tiger Balm gets a go more often than not, even if it’s just for a bit of comfort.

Some days it feels like the weather wins. Today is one of those days, so here’s my little grumble.🍒

In a holiday park and it has rained and strong wind all night so I never got any sleep.

The weather is atrocious here today and so cold.

OAP's are getting an inflation busting rise, next April (yet again / triple lock) of 4.7% - when disabled have to survive on 2.7% - how is that fair ?

We should not be knocking those that get more we should be fighting for everyone to get more.

It will only be £10.82 a week for those on the new state pension and less for others. It will also push some OAP into paying tax for the first time.

Well said @Bluebell21 we need equity, not just equality. 😊

Albus_Scope
