Minor Rant Thread part 7

[zazen999]

Sat here twiddling my thumbs waiting for hot water to have a bath.

Oh i know just how you feel....hope it didn't take a week like us oh bugger - rant thread.......last day today, why can't I have a sickie - I've got so many weeks of them up my sleeve and now they will be void, just can't do that sort of thing. But today would be the day I would do it, if I did.

Opened a sachet of sweet and sour stir fry sauce for son's tea last night and it contained clear liquid. Am about to get in touch with aldi to see what they'd like me to do with it!

[Aberdeenplotter]

Well, at least there is no horse in it unless of course it was intended to be the brown sauce with the initials HP

my rant. ermmmh packaging containing the wrong thing

I once opened a kit kat biscuit looking forward to a chocolate covered biscuit but discovered two rods of solid chocolate. SNot nice when it snot what you are looking forward to.

A minor rant at myself.
Forgetting to put the bins out. Its bin day here at my daughters today and I keep forgetting. Bin day at my house was a different day.
There is going to be a mountain of black plastic bags on the drive if I don't get myself organised.
Ill have to remember next week because there wont be another collection of ordinary household rubbish until after I've moved and I wouldn't like to leave a humming pile of black bin bags for the new people.
Yuck!

THE OFFICE IS CLOSED TODAY.

We are closed so we can get caught up on stuff we've been behind with since before Christmas. There is a sign on the door saying we are closed, there is a message on the answer-machine that we are closed, there is an Out of Office on the e-mail to say we are closed and there was a tag-line on the signature for a week before to say we would be closed.

SO WHY DO THE SAME BEEPERS KEEP TRYING TO PHONE EVERY 5 MINUTES? I've turned the volume on the ringer down but I still hear it.

Pull the plug out............

My 93 year old Mum has just been told that she is too healthy to qualify for chiropody treatment on the NHS and if she needs her toenails cut she must go privately. They only cut her nails every 3 months any way. They sent her away with a nail file and some nail clippers. The fact that she cannot bend enough to reach her feet apparently doesn't matter.
And before you ask, she won't let me do them - probably doesn't trust me enough
And this isn't a rant - just a sorrow - her 97 year old sister died last night.
Mum's just heard and after telling me, she told me about her feet to make me laugh
Crazy family!!

[taff]

I can do them for her, feet hold no terrors for me......

[Aberdeenplotter]

Toenails being acceptable on the feet but as something to be avoided if cut

Weather - it's like the Whitechapel Murders Mist.

It is now almost three weeks since I ordered roses, fruit bushes and seed potatoes. I know the pace of life is slow here - one reason for coming - but there is slow and slow.

[alldigging]

O mrs woman you've blocked us in. We'll wait five minutes but we really need to go out today...

Supermarkets with not enough checkouts open at lunchtime - Mo**isons and S**nsbuggers in particular, not that I use S**buggers very often as they're too expensive.

Also, why do pensioners go shopping during peak times then stand and moan about the queues? If I didn't work I'd get my shopping done and home by 10.30am so I spend the rest of the day doing something I enjoy.

[veggiechicken]

People who expect us oldies to get up early just to go shopping
