  • People who can't make arrangements. Well, can't make arrangements that actually work.

    I swapped shifts at the Stables, as Mr.G said we had been invited to 'a gathering' at the In-laws' this evening. I rushed around, got everything done at record speed. I even found time to take the Dog for a run, on the way home, so that's him sorted. Came home around 2pm to get washed and changed, only to discover we should have been there for Lunch!

    This is not the first time he's done this to me. When they rang, to see where we were, he told them I was at the stables, so they automatically assume it's me!

        • No, it wasn't funny! No, I am NOT amused! No, I do do not consider my reaction to be unreasonable! I have spent hours on that section of garden; lifting the oversize stones, leveling out the area, hauling sharp sand to finish the base and re-laying the stones. The job would have been tough enough for you and I'm a foot shorter than you and only a little over half your weight. How the heck do you expect me to react when you and your s****** mates get drunk and decide to return it to the state it was before I started?

              I'm sure he'll sort it when he wakes up tomorrow (in the spare room) and remembers what he's done. This is not the first 'bright idea' he's had when drunk...but his history of 'bright ideas' is the reason he very rarely has more than 2 drinks on any one day.

              I'm just fuming because of how long it took to do the work in the first place!

                • Am in hospital cafe waiting for Mr VVG to have an exploratory/minor op - yes it's his turn - I feel cr@p and fancied a quiet coffee. Problem is the woman on motor mouth overdrive with added steroids doesn't. I am so sick of hearing about you drone on about all the nasty relatives you have blah blah blah...money money money...blah blah blah! I've now had to move in order to get your screech out of my head.
                  I'm cutting it short for you guys.

                  • It's foggy.


                    So why don't drivers have their lights on? Are they trying to save electric, or what?


                    Cyclists have reflectors on their bikes and on their clothing. Reflectors don't work unless there's a light shining to reflect off of ... off.

                    • Why do some people feel the need to always have attention, and whinging and moaning for sympathy until everyone feels miserable, how does that make people feel good? Is that sort of behaviour genetic or do you have to learn it?

                      • Next time I hear "well maybe I'll get my cup of tea now!" Implying it's somehow my fault you haven't already, I'll be tempted to shove the teaspoon somewhere. You're just in the door FFS, I've been here 40 minutes and the reason I've been out of the office is I've been doing some WORK.

                          Inadequate so called engineers who tell a client they need to spend £2000 on a new boiler just because they cannot diagnose a simple electrical fault on the control system.


                          BG's new home care plan. Boiler and control's breakdown with an annual service only £9per month. Small print subject to £99 excess. Most boiler repair's are done for less than £80. RIP OFF.

                            • Just realised, no one has posted a rant since 24th. How come? That's my first rant!

                              Next one - going to the cupboard to get ingredients for dinner to find OH didn't get the kidney beans and tinned tomatoes for the chilli. The doc has said I shouldn't drive whilst I'm still feeling light-headed, and OH has gone to bed with a headache so I can't get him to go either Now I need to come up with another plan.

                              Oh, and a third, today's going well I found over half of my shallots have rotted at the neck, so I've ended up peeling any that are OK and will freeze those not needed for the chutney and dinner (whatever it may be!).
                              I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!

                              • Bloody delivery people, delivering crap that I don't want (leaflets and free newspapers) who don't bother to shut the bloody gate. Not windy at the time so I didn't notice, but at 1 am the bloody gate is banging and keeping me awake. I DON'T WANT YOUR CRAPPY LEAFLETS, AND I DON'T WANT YOU IN MY GARDEN , AND IF YOU DO COME INTO MY GARDEN PLEASE SHUT THE GATE PROPERLY!!!
