Every time. Every flippin time.

My lottie neighbour 'oh, didn't expect to see you here'

We go to the lottie same time same day at the weekend and have been since we got the plot, since before he got the plot and every time 'oh, didn't expect to see you here'.

Last time, I said 'we've only been coming here same time same day for 5 years, we're a bit haphazard like that'. Sigh.

Bl**dy Barclay's Bank. OH goes in last week to get them to change a spelling mistake in his middle name - it has been wrong for ages but he finally loses patience with it. They correct his middle name and drop me from the joint account we have held for 12 years! I no longer exist. Arrgghhhhh!

An email from Sky asking me to update my direct debit with another bank account. So I phone Sky to find out more; your bank has disputed your direct debit instruction, you will need to contact them. We now cannot accept DDIs from that account.

Phone the bank. Ah, we didn't think it was a genuine DDI set up by you. Pardon me? That DDI has been on our account since we opened the account. Yes, but the date changed? I know it did, it changed when I changed my Sky package, it changed by two days. But you have suddenly decided, two monthly payments after it changed, that it is not genuine? Did you think to contact us directly and ask? No, you did not.

And they have done the same thing with my PayPal DDI (all PP payments are DDI when paid through a bank account, btw)

This is now going to cause me huge headaches getting it sorted. I am so glad we kept on our previous bank account as a secondary account, because although they have their foibles, they were never this stupid. Monday morning will see us changing back to them....

I was going to mention my vanishing hosepipe (something my Husband will, no doubt, deny all knowledge of), but it seems a little insignificant now. Sorry Ladies!

[julesapple]

Men do tend to deny all knowledge of vanishing hosepipes.......been there.

Had to stop sanding again - I've used up all the triangle sheets that go on the sander and it's just about to rain.

[Glutton4...]

I found my hosepipes! The plain green one is in about six pieces! The banded green one is in two pieces, one of which has ends on! And, shock, horror, it must've been the fairies, or even the dog. Mr.G would never have cut up hosepipes now, would he!? I walked off saying that I would go and reprimand the dog...

Luckily, I found my yellow hosepipe, still on the reel, that Mr.G now suddenly seems to think may be his!

Oh no you don't matey!!!!!!!

Weddings. Why do they have to be such a bloody song and dance these days? And, if you know that 90% of your family are adverse to being spot-lighted and humiliated, why have a compere/singer who insists on singling them out to join in with his singing while you're trying to eat, and then get cross at said family for being 'miserable'?

I get that people want the whole 'it's my day so I'll do it how I like' thing, but expecting 20 people to change into something they aren't for your amusement seems a bit much to me...
