Energy bill arrived. FFS.
It was double the budgeted figure, messing up my healthy budget once again. FFS.
Despite all our energy saving efforts, and an air con that was not working for six weeks of a twelve week period, it still looked like this. FFS.

I have a Visa Debit card to avoid further ridiculous debt through the devil spawn known as credit cards. These cards are simple and functional and I love them. So I happily pay for things on the internet or phone all the time. Until now. FFS.
I tried to pay for something on the internet today, and it refused my card. Despite the fact that it fully functional through the Visa system, they will only take CREDIT CARDS. FFS.
I would reluctantly use the credit card as a last resort but I CUT THEM UP BECAUSE THEY ARE THE DEVIL. FFS.
So now I have no options and I'm a weeping mess. FFS.
We had another repeat of the "let's play a stupid game all day" teacher at Tiger's school. FFS.
It seems I have the only child in the class who comes home pissed off because "We played a stupid game and didn't learn ANYTHING at all." Everyone else is more interested in how they can get that substitute back again so they can goof off. FFS.
There's only a week until Frog's birthday party. FFS.
Despite a strict RSVP date of tomorrow (including "Things you need to know" note stating I have to give definite numbers by that day) the only reply to Frog's invitations have been my parents. FFS.
I am alternately having nightmares about having A) hoardes of people turning up that I haven't catered for; or B) tumbleweeds blowing past our mountain of party food and my child crying in the corner. FFS.
The next person who tells me "Oh no one RSVP's anymore" will get a fork in their eye. I always RSVP, and anyone who doesn't is a fucking rude bastard. FFS.
I have signed up to the 12 Week Body Transformation which means I have to do that exercise stuff that crazy people do. FFS.
And stop the denial about my midnight snack habits. FFS.
All this while WonderMan stocks the pantry with baking for the work/school lunch week ahead. FFS.
If Michelle tells me I can't have wine I will Lose. My. Freaking. Shit. FFS.
A nice glass of red, plz.
ReplyDeleteOoh yes!
DeleteI am all about the RSVP. What is up with people who don't bother?
ReplyDeleteMichelle never looks totally content and happy - she is indeed buff, but really, I think she needs more wine. So whatever she says about wine, ignore it / double it.
I am adding that last sentence as an official addendum to all instructions for the next twelve weeks ;)
DeleteThat power bill would send me crying in a corner. FFS day light robbery.
ReplyDeleteHope you party is a roaring success to the birthday girl. AND not RSVPing is so rude. Good luck and perseverance with the body sculpturing remake and exercises!! xo
I can admit to a few tears after opening that one I can assure you!
DeleteHey Zeus! That RSVP bullshit drives me completely insane! We book parties at venues because I hate cleaning up afterwards and they are always 10 people minimum, and I like to get my monies worth. Last year, several people didn't rsvp, so I let my child invite other kids who did turn up - only the kids who didn't rsvp ALSO turned up, so guess who got to fork out EXTRA for EXTRA kids... FFS!
ReplyDeleteOh that's crap! We are slowly getting late RSVP's so I'm breathing a little better now :)
DeleteI'm totally with you on the RSVP issue. Sadly for those rude people who do not Respondez to my invitations, I am old and bold enough to call/email every single one and put them on the spot (kindly but with an edge). Go on, do it! You know you want to :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to call them all but unfortunately new town means I don't know any of the parents to call them! Will drop a polite note in their daycare pockets tomorrow to remind them :)
DeleteWTF? No-one RSVPs anymore? That's so rude! How are you supposed to arrange catering etc?
ReplyDeleteApparently not :/ I did eventually get a response from everyone, most of them at the last minute to say they weren't coming... if they had told us earlier we would have invited some others that had to be cut off the list!
