Minor Rant Thread - Part 8

[SarzWix]

I have been called unstable - was in reference to my neck - but yeah, tell me something I don't know

My back's been 'unstable' since I had a prolapse 24 years ago, and 'extremely unstable' since it went again 10 years ago... Be reet, just gotta keep working on core stability exercises

My rant is me. Saying 'yes' to an offer of strawberries. Good idea at the time! And very grateful to have them. But crikey - theres that many of them and I'm just about all strawberried out now! MAKE IT STOP.

[Thanks VVG, we do love them - it's just I've had enough of them now. x]

Just lifted the pillow on my bed and a bl@@@@@@@dy huuuuuuge spider ran out.
I'm not scared of spiders it made me jump though.
Good job the missus didn't see it she would have had heart attack.

[Feral007]

People talking about spiders at all, let alone spiders under the pillow!

[Glutton4...]

Think of the fright you gave the poor Spiddy, Steve!

Now, I've forgotten my rant!

Memory, failing memory, at that!

"Mum, my parcel is being collected today, can you stay in for it please "

Pegs, proper pegs. The ones that keep the clothes on the line, in this climate where it's windy! No, they don't sell them anymore apparently. You can have 4 different sorts of useless pegs. But not proper ones! And the looks on people's faces when you say you want to keep the clothes on the line with pegs! Not like it's something new fgs!

A watched doorbell never rings, really fed up now

[alldigging]

Don't beep your horn and then 2 seconds later drive over the grass to get round.

Don't beep either - go and knock on the door and ask him to move it.

No you can't choose your paint colour, you awkward besom. You can have Mangolia like everybody else.

So. I'm doing these after-school parent & child gardening sessions, starting next week. It's been being planned for quite some time. I've managed to get hold of pots, bigger containers, trays and cell trays for nothing. I have enough seeds of my own to supply the whole school. The only things that need to be paid for are watering trays and propagator lids, and compost. So I went into the office and explained that because the OH isn't working, I can't afford to shell out for it all and claim it back later, so could they please order them for me, and I'll collect it to make sure we have it on time.

No. Apparently they can't. Because it's their financial year end, they can't buy anything til after Easter.

Great. Just ****ing great. Did nobody think to mention this before? Ask if we needed anything before the 'cut-off' date? Or perhaps my time, seeds and scavenging skills aren't enough and I have to be financially wrung dry as well?!! I am absolutely fuming And looks like I'm going to have to break into our extremely meagre savings for next week's session
