    My grumbles this week are as follows:

    Amandaland Season 2 is finished! Springwatch 2026 is finished!

    Next week's schedules for EastEnders have changed so we'll have to watch it on the wrong channel on Monday and Tuesday then wait an extra hour for the beautiful programme to start on Wednesday and Thursday evenings 😮

    😆

    I don't think I've ever had a postman walk in before, but I've had a few delivery drivers try the door or leave stuff just inside it.

    My grumble is

    Football is on and it's disrupted all my shows

    Grr

    Grrr @Amberpearl! I'm not much of a football fan either so it's annoying that everything is so football focused at the moment!

    There was water on my kitchen floor and I stepped in it with clean socks on.

    Oh no @Mr_Shoes_Tied! That's one of the worst feelings

    We've been looking after a dog who leaves a trail of water on the floor after she drinks so I've been very familiar with that feeling this week too 🤢

    The new Heinz Mayonaise advert … annoying than all annoying things. Worse than even the Domino Pizza adverts

    I once had a place in Harold in Bedfordshire . First weekend I was confronted by a man who had let himself in. Said he was friends of the owner. Grabbed the key and told him and his women to sod off. The property belong to a wealthy businessman who gave out keys to friends for weekends away.

    That sounds scary @jonf! Glad you took the key from them. Were they understanding?

    One of my big grumbles is about folk that's daft enough to take the "Red Bull gives you wings" slogan literally.

    Like a guy in the US who drank it and tried to fly off Niagara Falls, obviously failed, and tried to sue the Red Bull company for false advertising! Muppet.

    I wonder, though, whether companies should be more cautious with their adverts, since they’re advertising to people with mixed levels of understanding and reading ability, and not everyone picks up on nuance.

    I agree 100%

    Everything has been moved for it

    it was years ago and yes they were shocked too. Cannot say the company name but it is very well known.

    I now have to waste half a day changing address information to everyone. It would be so nice if we could have a central database as this is going to be a mammoth task for my brain.

    why do I have to queue for so long to foreign call centers. 37 minutes yesterday just to change my address with one company. Grrr

    Urgh, I hate having to do admin tasks like this too @jonf. Hope you managed to get it sorted today.

    The weather not making it's mind up is annoying me today. I'm ready for a bit more sunshine now.
