I have some suggestions, on where to put those grass clippings....

[Glutton4...]

Funny you should mention that - he is, at this moment mowing the rest of the lawn WITH the grass box on, and has re-done the bit outside the back door. He has also agreed he will vacuum up the grass that he and the dog have traipsed in the house.

I'm going to Pilates, safe in the knowledge that he has learned his lesson. They're like bladdy kids sometimes!

[bearded bloke]

You want to complain! Look at these shoes. I've only had them three weeks and the heels are worn right through

[binley100]

Chuffin' developers and their contractors ..........now why would I would I think it would be safe to park in a driveway to an old house that kids regularly vandalise . Oh you're putting in lights....thats nice of you they'll be able to see what they're doing when they break into the cars/grab my bag or worse...CCTV? ...they'll pull up their hoods and give it the finger........and yay I'm really looking forward to walking from my car down a drive surrounded by trees ,up the main road at whatever time I get home.....total d***heads the bladdy lot of them
Oh and another thing .......idiots who spout off when they haven't the first clue what they are on about........

[julesapple]

Sodding sod!

I switched the polytunnel irrigation on this morning (approx 7.30am) and have just realised, whilst sat at my desk, that it is still on (11.45am). Now I'm going to have to waste my entire lunch hour driving home to switch it off again, as I don't really want to leave it on until 6pm (when I usually get home).... ggrrrrrr!

It's toooooo hot, can't sleep
Can we have some rain please?

[Feral007]

Hurry up and warm up - so much to do and it's still crunchy and frozen out there, foggy I can manage for a couple of hours, but not crunchy too.

Surveyor from solar panel company who left two messages on my home ansaphone on Monday saying he was trying to get in touch, when the paper work had clearly said ring mobile at lunchtime or after 5.30. No number left for me either!

Same surveyor who didn't cal at all on Tues.

Rep from same company who responds to a message I left at 7pm by texting at 10.50pm to ask if it is too late to speak to me ?!?

Scaffolding is booked. Installation is booked. Survey.................????

[OverWyreGrower]

It's not hot or sunny where I am, in fact we're on the 2nd day of constant rain... more accurate weather reporting please....

Son received notification that his tax money would be deposited in his account - great because we need it for the trip. No money in the account. Phone the bank. Yes, it came, but because he said it was a student account, and now he's not a student so the account has been called somethng else....so they sent the money back. Ahhh right, an hour later to the tax office (after mum tricked those freaking machines into letting her have a REAL person to talk to) oh we've sent a cheque. Thanks, it will prob get her in a fortnight or two ;(
So then I race into the insurance office to insure the little car we are taking tomorrow at 3am. Yes, that's right - the office shuts at 4.30 pm - who shuts half an hour earlier than every one else. So spent a long time on the mobile phone trying to do it - and of course used all credit but had already told the guy to call me back when it dropped out. So, if anyone under 25 yrs is driving and they are at fault in an accident the excess payable is $1600 - cool. So now, if the P plater hits a Roo? Well, yes, altho the roo would have jumped out and caused the accident the P plater would be at fault, even tho they weren't at fault.
I knew he would say that, but I just wanted to hear that they think we have more money than a roo does. They're wrong of course, and I'll refer them to the tax office to argue it out over what money we might have had, if we had it.

Since when did slugs become snugs? Can't think of anything LESS snugly.... 'tis bored beans all over again

[Florence Fennel]

They didn't Alison, except to my mind, because I'm overrun with both snails and slugs, so for me, snug is a combination of both. They are also very snug amongst the foliage of my veg as they eat it

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSScccccccccccccccccccccccrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Ooh that's better.

Yes, I know you're enjoying the cricket, but I don't need the running commentary and then when I escape to sit outside, the next door neighbour is singing, well, humming, well, this monotonous drone is coming from their back door. I've escaped on here.
