Minor Rant Thread part 6

[julesapple]

Just been informed I have to make a 60th birthday cake for a hairdresser by beginning of December. I love it when my family volunteer me for stuff, just presuming I have nothing better to do....I was volunteered a fortnight ago but they've only just told me and by now it's too late for the person to go order one from the excellent shop in town.

[Jelliebabe]

Where's my cake Jules - Your brothers, sisters mums daughters neice said I could have one!

RANT

On my own at work again - TBH - I'm on my own even when you are here. And I'm the one on a temp contract??? Grrrrrrr

Slipping on wet boards on the allotment.
Grabbed the edge of the greenhouse to stop myself falling - luckily it's not fully glazed else this might be being types from casualty.
Ow.

Short-sighted, deaf octogenarian Hobbits, who want to do it their way, and ignore common sense suggestions. So, we do it his way, and it doesn't fit.

Stupid cat - not the heroic molecatcher but her not so smart son - the netting is there to stop you cr&pping on the garlic and shallots. Use one of the empty beds rather than climbing onto the netting and then messing on/through it.

My rant is on behalf of HansMum..............I hope they catch the b@st@rd that burned her shed down last night...........

[julesapple]

That sucks....

Ditto BM.

[veggiechicken]

Ditto from me too. I'm so sorry, Hansmum - after all the work you do for those allotments - that mindless idiots can come along and destroy your possessions.

Making a beautiful, very professional, job of joining the shoulders of the lining on my home-sewn dress. Just a pity I joined the front left piece to the back right and vice-versa.



Meh.

[julesapple]

Ears. I'm sick of them. Especially pink felt ones. I've just cut out thirty pairs of pink ear-linings for mices. My fingers hurt from the tiny lethal scissors.

So wifey,made lunch today..

Scollops cooked in a sauce for starters
Venison casserole with roast veg & steamed greens
Meringue cups filled with whipped cream & raspberries

Then the invited couple phoned to cancel,with 45 min's notice "hope you haven't gone to any trouble".

[Feral007]

They be expecting something extra in their next meal at your place? Can't bear people who do that, unless its death or serious sickness

[julesapple]

Look at that! We're famous...made it onto the national news programs because of our flooding. Well done, you've just proved to the entire nation that you, North Somerset Council, are the complete numpty muppets who built on the flood plains. You're still doing it....next year will be worse....Why do you think they're called Flood Plains?

[taff]

Yes, they do that here too. If there's a canal, or a flood plain, they wanna build some carp on it....

Anyway, me, I''m plumb tuckered out from moving all my stuff and some of someone else's from the barn to the van in 45 minutes.
Since when did I get so old I couldn't carry stuff? Well, ok, but there was a ruddy tiny, near-vertical staircase to get up and down, and a table and a filing cabinet, and some humungous speakers to carry too.
I've just woken up from my tired nap on the sofa.

That's a Rant!?

With grub like that to eat, I'd be ruddy glad they cancelled!
