The New Minor Rant thread....

[Hazel at the Hill]

Dear errant bramble. Do you not know when to give up? I have cut you back in summer, dug parts (but obviously not all) of you up in winter, snapped off your questing fleshy ends every time I pass.

One sodding plant intent on world domination - first stop, plot 16a, Hill Allotments.

Flies
Stripping the entire kitchen in quest to find where flies are coming from with no joy
Daughter having a fear of flies
Supermarket changing fav. online without me knowing/ realising.
Caffeine allergy
Now owning two jars of useless coffee
Hayfever
Hayfever that got worse when I was exhausted and had gone to bed.

Well that was yesterday, rant done, new day today.

Someone has managed to get my bank card details. Bank got in touch to see if it was me making a purchase in another part of the country, they weren't using the card properly so they had declined the sale and frozen my card.
"Er no I am at home and where on earth is this place where they are meant to be"
So my card is now cancelled. Bank is keeping an eye on my account just in case. I've gone through my bank stuff thinking when did I do something different or when something different happened. I haven't used it on line at all. Kind of makes me a bit paranoid that someone has private information of mine and I don't know how they got it.
Second part of rant is. Some one is trying to spend MY hard earned pennies

I just wanted to have a minor rant about my pampered sprouts..... lovingly raised from seed, planted out with collars against the cabbage root fly, encircled with copper bands against the slugs, covered with enviromesh against the cabbage white, limed, firmed in nicely, fed, watered, mulched to stop them bolting....and today I find a couple of the plants stone dead. I dug them up and found the culprits were cutworms, which had chewed across the main stems.

I'm beginning to wonder whether such a high maintenance plant as the brassica is worth the bother.

Early walk round the garden, thinking to myself 'that courgette looks poorly' well it would be I forgot to water it when I watered everything else two days ago!!!

My 'minor' is rapidly becoming a MAJOR.

What a weekend - OH is off on one of his lights are on but nobody is at home jaunts.
Messy, the 11 year old greyhound was at the vet on Sat night, turns out she has gastroenteritis and we had a bill of £261.37.
My heap of pig poo laptop has had to be com[letely reloadeed back to factory settings so EVERYTHING has had to be set up again.

1st day back in work today and I have had to phone in sick because I cannot move my neck or back. I thought it would ease up last night when I went to bed. NOPE, how wrong was I. I was up all night crying in pain. I cannot get comfy in bed or move without a shooting pain from my neck to down my back! I can't move my head, it just feels like a ton of bricks when I try move it!

My rant - the Blue bar comes back every week - on a Sunday about 6pm I think Click on the "Hide" button and it will disappear again for a week............or Adblockplus will sort it if you choose to disable the "element"
Sorry about the rest of your problems.

My rant - back from hols have cake class this morning need to drop the boys into Bath and they were both told to be ready for 8.45. Son no2, as usual running late, gave him an extra 5 mins and left without him, I felt so mean that when he called my mobile and asked me to go back I turned the car around!! Why am I such an idiot? He will never learn! I got stuck in traffic and ended up missing my class too
On top of that, half the conker tree fell down while on hols... That's another huge clearing up job

I'm looking after my son's internet business and need to print out labels every day. Usually it's no problem but just occasionally, like this morning, the laptop says the printer is offline. I can print from any other site but the couriers. Grrrrh!

I did manage it in the end. I had to attach them as a file on my email account and print them from there.

It's stopped raining....please come back I am developing Orangutan like arms with all the watering
