The incredible frustration of being in a good position in terms of equity but struggling horribly with debt, and regulations etc meaning we can't help ourselves with the former without selling our house.
If anyone knows a dodgy mortgage broker who can get things waved through...!!

I’ve always had 20/20 vision but since just over a year ago my mince pies are rapidly going, when I get up in the morning they take a good half hour to even work enough to enable me to read anything on a smart phone.
This added to my hearing always being bad and now getting worse.
Same here. Never worn glasses in my life (47 years) but two days ago went to specsavers to collect my first pair of bins. Struggling to get used to them and I don’t like having to wear them, but can’t deny it makes seeing stuff easier!
Think yourself lucky you can wear glasses. I've got an astigmatism which had meant 3 operations on my eyes (corneal grafts) and now I wear special scleral contact lenses, which are twice the size of normal contacts & means I can't wear glassess.

Mate if you could genuinely get us a remortgage everyone has said no to so far I'd be your best friend!

No. I refuse to think myself lucky on this thread. It’s a place for us to moan about stuff, so no.
We've all seen the 'Baby on Board' stickers on motors. Saw 'Twins on Board' this morning ? Whats that all about? Why does having lookie likey kids mean a different sticker, for some reason this annoyed me....must be the heat I guess.
Seems to be an asterisk to the left of each name on the back of the shirts which makes you wonder what the footnote about each player is
Isn’t it for Mental Health/mind? I think you should probably like it
Thanks for clarifying yet why should I like the asterisk next to the name just because of that?
My Sister really struggles with Mental Health which is a bitch because I know how talented she is at her job yet is often signed off sick which stops her from progressing so am well aware of the risks of it yet the Prostate Cancer logo was really well done when incorporated into the shirt so it's a shame the asterisk couldnt have been utilised in the same way
People who walk around the airport with those neck pillow things. I’m sure there’s good reason for it - it’s comfy, saves you carrying it etc, but it looks ridiculous and still annoys me.
People who let off fireworks, I know I have a dog terrified of them and most people do not care, but I think fireworks should only be at an organised event. Moan at me now for those who do not agree but I will not change my mind

They are normally the same twats that wear white socks and "sliders".
The use of the phrase 'virtue signalling' in arguments on Charlton Life. What is this a bloody fresher's introduction to biology or something? Here's why I hate it: 1. Because the signaling of virtues isn't something that's intrinsically wrong. 2. Because the person using the phrase often does so as a replacement for logical argument; it's a way of attacking the person without challenging their ideas. 3. Because it's an unhelpful term popularised only in the limitless banality of the internet era. 4. Because the person accusing others of virtue signalling is often doing the same themselves: 'look at me, look at me, I know a pseudo-intellectual phrase that will make everyone think I'm intelligent and educated. 5. Because it's just shit and I'd like to see people getting pulled-up for using it.
Anyway, the more switched-on will have by now sussed out that I've been doing some virtue signalling of my own here: 'look at me, look at me, I know what your fancy little phrase means, I'm on top of your game'. And that's just how shit it is.
Next week in the course for Year 1 Lifers: The Aetiology and Implementation of Pseudo-Scientific Terminology in the Polarised Discourse of Online Sports-Based Discussion Media, Dr Stiglitz will consider the word Cockwomble, focussing in particular on why the people who use the phrase 'virtue signalling' are invariably cockwombles.
Trying to look slick in front of the kids. I bowled into the kitchen, removed a breakfast bowl and closed the cupboard in one smooth motion, spun across the kitchen, poured a bowl of cereal with one hand, took a spoon out the drawer with the other, shutting the drawer with my bum as I did another spin, sashayed to the table, jumped onto my seat all in the space of about 10 seconds and all the while singing "Can't Stop the Feeling" by Justin Timberlake... my children's look of awe quickly became hatred and pity, as it became apparent I was holding a fork.
Overuse of the word 'hub'. It seems that everyone with a meeting place or collection of disparate information wants to squeeze the word hub into its title. There are cafes called hubs, corners of public libraries called hubs, websites called hubs, web apps called hubs and seemingly endless bits of local government services called hubs. None of these things are anywhere near important enough or central enough to anyone's lives to be called a hub. Calling things hubs does not make them important, they are still what they are: sometimes useful (often not) random places or collections of stuff. By assigning an important word to a trivial service they are undermining our language. Stop it! It's almost as annoying as the moronic, 'one stop shop'.

I know..........the scallys have stopped using the word...........they just nick the wheels instead.

I've got nothing against the show but it's not really news or current affairs, it's just an excuse to shoehorn a couple of contestants on the sofa.
ooooh what you got there, where did you get it etc
fuck off fatty, its bad enough that I'm eating my lunch at my desk without your bullshit!
