what's 'oeuf off' in french?

under threat of redundancy for 4th time....got loose teeth thanks to twinging one on a hard bit of sandwich and one on toffee [loose teeth just makes me feel ancient and OLD!!!], haven't got the money to pay privately so say goodbye to them....

PP you should just tell them you coudn't get the things.....when you see them on Christmas day! Bit of a cheek at that time of year.

Bluddy little turd of a dog chasing my chooks again. Had given him a reprieve last week but he is on a lea d now unless someone is standing around doing nothing but watching him. He is currently barking his stupid head off. But he did that the first week he was here every time I put him outside the door so hopefully he'll get over it.

Friend who is coming to their French house for Christmas has asked me to pick up some "bits and bobs" for them. List includes carrots, parsnips, spuds, milk, a turkey... They'll collect from us on the way home from the airport. Christmas Day.

Will they now. Are you cooking it for them too? The height of rudeness.

I've got nothing to rant about just yet. Bite me.

Taff - I 'liked' your 'oof off' before I read the rest. So I've unliked it.

Not so much a rant more of annoyed with myself.
Had day off yesterday to go to couple of appointments and was then going to tidy garden.
My back spasmed before I even started on garden.
So annoyed!

Ordered a thing from a big internet retailer 2 days ago.
Yesterday the parcel tracker showed it had left HQ in England and had reached Loir et Cher in France.
Today it is in Dunfermline, Fife

The health visitor for saying 'hes got Bronchiolitis take him to the walk in centre straight away'
so leave work 4 hours early(there goes 4hrs overtime), head home, pick them all up,(including number 2 daughter who has been being sick since last night, beacause strangely no-one wants to sit with a vommiting 2yr old!?) head to the hospital, only for a doctor to say .....
' its just a virus' and....
' health visitors are not qualified to diagnose ilnesses'
.... oh well, better safe than sorry!

Got a letter today from HM DW&P informing me that my official pensionable age has gone up from 65 to 66. It was bad enough when it went up from 60 to 65 in one big leap. What's to stop them moving the goalposts again in a couple of years? I shall be chasing retirement all my life!

Plumber came and 'plumbed' - everything except the radiators is great. Now we have no heat in the lounge, kitchen or utility room. OH has bled radiators, turned the little screwy thing in the airing cupboard (a bleed screw?) and still no heat. B*gger! I'm going to have to ring the plumber again ... on a Sunday! Arrrrggghhhh!

When you do toffee apples you have to make sure the toffee goes very brittle on contact with very cold water, you dip the apple in the toffee and then plunge immediately innuto ice cold water to set it.


My rant, snuggle bunnies! The very irritating group of drivers who park so close to your car that you cannot open the car door wide enough to get in...learn to park please!

Find out tomorrow whether I have a job. We are being told by email..... Nice I love the personal touch. That's why I have been a bit absent lately..... Me and stress don't really get on.

Idiot tenants who ignore 3 letters and 2 answerphone messages telling them their annual gas inspection is due and their boiler will shut down if they do not contact me to have the work done.

It shut down last night and they expect me to drive 15 miles on a Sunday to reset the programmer for them. Bob Hope and No Hope springs to mind.
