I'm Fed up.

I'm fed up with everything.
Government.
Cost of living.
6Music being cancelled.
Cheryl Cole omnipotence.
Chavvy wasters on TV.
Punctures.
Fearne Cottons omnipotence.
Bankers salaries.
Schooling system and my LEA.
Work.
The list is endless..............

I am getting so miserable, need some sunshine, I would go to France in April with my family but the Euro is too strong and due to the cost of living/recession etc I cannot afford it.
I should count my blessings, but just feeling really stroppy at the moment.

    I thought the same until a very close friend of MrsNapD and I got diagnosed with terminal cancer a couple of weeks ago. She has two kids the same age as ours, 6 and 3.

    Suddenly you start appreciating the little things and forgetting about the other crap.

    Easy to get fed up with this lot. Look on the bright side, you are young and healthy, there are plenty on here that would gladly swap their trappings of wealth for that alone. I have a sneeky suspicion that the weather will be better here than France in April too!

    I know, I get signed off in May by my oncologist, no moe treatment and remission over so I should be looking ahead.
    Just finding daft stuff is making me stroppy, need to sort myself out.

    Sorry about your friend, sincerely.

    Can there be 2 omnipotencies?

    It will get better,i have noticed the longer winter having a big effect on people including myself,it's hard to turn off the negative stuff sometimes but you can always find a laugh or a little smile somewhere.

    I have never seen so many fed up people (myself included) over this winter.

    It's been a long long haul.

    Sunny days and daffodils and lambs will sort that out soon!

    Sorry for the grammatical inaccuracies, I will try harder next time to be more descriptive and correct.

    Felt the same for ages: injuries, skint, dick 'eds in work, kids, car trouble...

    But, I've had a few weeks off and the weather is cold but sunny.
    Just got back from a 2hr plus ride in quiet lanes, tracks, road around North Wales.

    Views over to snowy Snowdon, Newborough beach/Irish Sea, Llyn Peninsular.
    Bloody freezing, real hard climbs, fast twisty descents... FEEL GREAT NOW !!!

    Sorry for your wifes problems, I didn't mean to upset anyone, but by the same token it is not a competition. My 2 sons are Autistic, 11 and 9, thats a day to day lifelong thing, so like I said I'm not competing just moaning off.

    Thing to remember is its all in your mind.
    Every one has crap going on in life. the more you look at the crap the less you see the good things in life.

    Im thankful for
    My wife
    my bikes
    I have a job
    the weather is getting better.
    I have a house


    if you keep looking at het good things the crap looks alot smaller and more managable.

    So keep your chin up and smile
    Nothing in life can not be improved with either monkeys, pirates or ninjas

    Sorry fella. I know day to day things can get us down, but I just have to think about my wife and how much she has lost in life and it makes me realise how lucky I am.

    As someone has said - just think about the positive's you have. It's easy for us to dwell on the negative's, when we probably don't realise that we have more positive's! I suppose it's human nature, if things are 'good' then we tend to take them for granted.

    It's getting warmer and the nights are getting lighter. That's something to smile about.

    I read the OP and though yeah right, I feel exactly the same way.

    Next week we go to another remission appointment over the tumor now out of my sons head and the years of surgery we're gearing up for to put him right again.

    but right now after a range of domestic catastrophies paid out this month, its 4 days to payday, theres no food in, I'm 30 quid off my overdraft limit with the mortgage and a couple of other bills to come out tomorrow and I'm more stressed about that than the thought of the pain and hospitalisations my child is up against for years to come. let alone the abject terror that the bstard thing may still come back.

    we can all have big crud in our lives and feel the little crud too. sometimes it helps to have a self indulgent moan at the little stuff or the big stuff would have us rocking in the corner with a 1000 yard stare.

    Im fed up with the 2 girls sat next to me in the library nattering about cr*p for the last 3 hours, complaining at how hard they're working at the moment.
    grrrr...

    Altho lets be honest, there is a lot to look forward to.

    On the plus side, if Spain and portugal go the same ay as Greece, that'll completely undermine any confidence in the Euro, and make it comparitively cheap again.
    Every mass bankrupcy, economy destroying cloud has a silver lining for us holiday makers. :D
