Minor Rant Thread part 5

[wyken]

My rant is not being able to find the expanded polystyrene seed modules that have matching trays of "pegs" to enable 0% root disturbance. They used to be everywhere. If anyone has located any PLEASE let me know.

I have arthritic hands and find the sort that you have to use fingers to eject the plugs very difficult.
How can anything so perfect for the job just disappear

Getting up and finding the kitchen is still a tip from the night before

We supposedly have a system in place where the 3 of us take it in turns to cook dinner. OH is SUPPOSED to do the dishwasher, and Son no2 the hand washing up, wiping down the cooker and surfaces. I do the other kitchen cleaning such as sink, microwave, oven, cupboard doors etc. My jobs don't necessarily need to be done each and every day, whereas theirs do, but I have a lot more.

Yesterday Son no2 was on cooking. Me and OH had fish pie (cooked by me and frozen previously), whereas he did himself some of those chicken burger things, so he wasn't exactly stretched. If fact very often their cooking days seem to consist of defrosting and reheating food I've batch cooked.

When we had finished, OH said he wanted to watch something on TV, but would do the dishwasher before bed. Son no2 won't do his jobs until OH has done his. Result? OH didn't do the dishwasher, so Son no2 didn't do the rest. Today I AM NOT doing it, the sun is shining, I'm going outside.

Oh, this happens all the time in my house. The important thing is to point blank refuse to do it, they are trying it on. its why women divorce men so often, in my opinion.!

Coming down to an untidy kitchen this morning!! Dishwasher not loaded, some of yesterday's shopping not put away in the cupboard, dry washing on airer not put away, the usual kitchen pile of paperwork not filed etc etc.................... and I live alone

OH in hospital for a couple of days for tests. My rant - medical staff who stand at the desk and talk about patients as if (a) they are not present and (b) as if they cannot be overheard! My OH now knows all about ALL the other patients on the ward.

Grrrr!
I sooooo want to finish tiling my kitchen, but woke up with a grumpy back - arthritis is a pain (in the back in my case) *big sigh*

I've had a banging headache since I woke up and its not a hangover.
CBA to do anything again was gonna start tidying garden and sowing chillies

One small glass of something or other Sauvignon at the sister's party yesterday and I've been ill ever since. Tummy in uproar, brain on strike (nothing new there...) raging temperature.

And they are still saying 'Darling/Mum, what's for tea?' Bleuurrgghhhh!

My Mum and Step Dad kindly stayed at my house to take care of the dog/ chickens etc while we were away with the kids for a few day.
'Its lovely having an open fire, just hard work collecting the wood',says my step Dad when we got home.

Couldn't have been that B****Y hard! He's used all the wooden slats from my greenhouse staging as kindling! I'm so upset and he would be sooooooo embarassed if I told him!

Sorry Scarlet I know I shouldn't laugh but that has totally wiped out my need to rant .........

Diesel fuel oil reaching an all time record high price,just when I have several unavoidable 400+ mile journeys

Discovering this evening, that the reeason i have intermittent internet access is because our new puppy has chewed through the adsl thingy....grrrr....how hard was it for my adult daughter to make sure that didn't happen while i was out today? More grrrrssss.....

I wish the 'distance/radius' function on job sites would work...

It doesn't matter what I set it to (0-35 miles from my house), it still comes back with jobs in Manchester 50+ miles away....
I'd rather it returned a 'nil' response than jobs that are too far away from me....

I have got so annoyed with it, I've emailed the job sites..... argh!!!

Is it this cold?
I've had "the cold" for a month now, every time I think it's in retreat it gathers itself for a new onslaught on my throat and chest. Enough, already.
