How do you know they were single?

Officious a****oles who take it upon themselves to poke their nose in when it's not their job. Just undoes the good work we've spent ages doing.

Bl**dy useless pillocks, who can't manage to follow even the simplest of instructions, over the telephone. Now, my poor dog-tired Husband, who has worked a great many evenings and most weekends for the last four months, and who had actually planned to have a 'whole' day off today, has got to go out, this time of night, and 'rescue' said pillock who can't follow instruction.

Mr.G has had a soak in the bath, followed by big fat roast dinner, and several glasses of wine, which he's fully entitled to do, on a day off, so they're sending a Taxi to pick him up and bring him back again. This means he won't get to bed until around 1am. He then has to be back at work for 06:30 tomorrow morning. Talk about taking the p!$$!

Receiving a notice that property inspections for weeds will be happening in our area from July 4 to 13. Hellooooo, I have until the end of July to have the work done (and that will be rushing it) so what's the point of doing an inspection 2-3 weeks before?
And while I'm whinging anyway, the weather is not helping me at all with this.

Mr.G has had a oak in the bath,

Er, because they're on their own ... I meant single as in "alone" not as in "unmarried". And it was obviously a joke anyway ...

Now you've made me chat

So, my rant will be: my bloddy shed roof. Got the onduline stuff on, paid an extortionate price for the fixy nails, and they're all popping off again. So the roof, despite costing me about £70, is still not waterproof. Mad as hell I am. Off up there AGAIN today with a tube of silicon squidge

Bladdy leaking greenhouse..... I think it is coming from the apex .... drips run down drown some of the pots. Grrr!

Just discovered white rot in my "safe" bed

So now the whole plot has it. I've just ordered some caliente mustard to try and get rid of it (as per Zazen's recommendation)

Then wasted nearly an hour online chatting to eBay's "customer support". Here is an excerpt from the very frustrating conversation I had:

Rita Gooding (possibly not her real name): please do not add a currency before the amount like £10. Simply place the amount (£10) instead.

Rita Gooding: Are you using this information?

me: do you mean leave the £ sign off? (you have typed £10 twice, with the £ sign. Do you mean just the 10 ?)

Rita Gooding: Yes, you can try to remove the £ sign

Rita Gooding: In the event that the issue will still persist.

me: ???????

Rita Gooding: Please inform me this

me: ??????
Please could I speak with someone who has English as their first language, as I'm having difficulty following this conversation (I suspect that eBay customer services are outsourced to Phillipines or India, and that they're simply cut and pasting their answers)

"Rita" just kept repeating whatever was in her script ~ she couldn't help me. The first "helper" I got, "Nelly Parker" simply ended the live chat when it got difficult. This isn't good service, this isn't helpful. Does anyone care?

To the dear little wood mouse that lives in my ivy,

Please stop eating my strawberries just as they are almost ripe! I haven't managed to pick a single one! Couldn't you eat the Alpine Strawberries instead?
Thankyou
