...if I don't say something then I'm going to explode!
1) I've put on 1.5 stones in three months thanks to some drugs I've been on as a result of an allergy. My clothes don't fit, my belly's huge, my arms don't fit in my sleeves... I know it's not strictly 'my fault' but my appetite is huge, and it's all going straight on my hips! I'd love to go for a walk or to the gym after work to try to do something about it, but another side effect of the tablets is feeling tired all the time, so after work all I want to do is go home and sleep.
2) I've got a 50% chance of still having a job in a month's time. I'm one of those who has been selected for potential redundancy. I don't want to go on about how exhausting it is trying to find a new job because you all already know, but anyway that's the current situation.
3) Things aren't going so well with my housemate. I found out that not only had she hid some bills from me and didn't pay them, but she even had a court summons issued for the council tax. I had to step in and sort it all out, she says she's up to date now but the landlord rang me last week to say she hasn't even paid her rent for this month, let alone March. When I asked her though she said she HAD paid. Now I feel like I can't trust her and that's not the situation you want to be in with someone you live with.
4) Thanks to above issues, landlord is making noises about potentially not wanting my housemate to stay in the flat when the rent contract is up at the end of March. But, if she doesn't stay, either I have to move out, or I have to find someone else to move in. I don't have the energy for that. Literally (see point 1), and also considering everything that is going on with point 2.
5) Rude friends. And those who dump you for a bloke. Those who say they would like to move in with you but decide instead to move in with their boyfriends. And the first you hear of it is a status update on Facebook. The friends who would do everything with you when they were single; now they have a boyfriend they never have time with you. Like the one I asked if she was free one Saturday in March to catch up? Reply was no, sorry, but she would 'miss' her man. We were only talking about ONE Saturday night out, not a week away!
5) Blokes. Ok this one is going ok, I have seen the guy I met through sailing a couple of times. But things are getting to the 'taking it further stage', and I am SO uncomfortable with it. Reason - see point 1. Also the allergy I mentioned affects my looks rather seriously and I am getting low on confidence because of that too. Am sick of strangers staring at me in the street and on the tube. And I am very conscious of what the bloke must be thinking too, even though he says it doesn't bother him...
Ok I think that's everything. For now!
