Oh and insomnia.

[noviceveggrower]

Not feeling to good Have the dreaded cold lergy. Have had it sometime now and it did seem to be going away but today I have woken up and its back big time.
Now have ear ache, sore throat, a chesty cough and a runny nose. I had a cold bug this time last year but not as bad as this. Swear I've caught something off the kids.
So dropping kids off at school then hitting local chemists to see what I can get for it.
Can't do allotment cause the cold air is tightening my chest to much. So might have to sort my seeds out again.

A phone call!!!

Hello sir this is Potty its time for the annual gas inspection.

Tenant, sorry mate I work all the time 6 days a week, so its after 6 pm or Sundays.

Potty, I am sorry sir they won't pay us to come out of hours, the landlords will just refer you to your tenancy agreement that says you must provided access in normal working hours. Can we do a lunch time?

Tenant, no sorry, we will just have to forget it this year.

Potty, Sorry sir we can't do that the law demands it is carried out.

Tenant I am off work a week on Friday.

Potty. Biting tongue, yes sir and so am I, it is Boxing day if you remember.

Tenant Well that's the only time I can spare for summat as daft as this.

Potty Fine sir, I will relay your comments to the landlord.................your certificate runs out on Monday 22/12. I am sure they will arrange for the gas to be cut off and for your eviction. Goodbye

Why don't you get their agreement for you to do the check without them being present ?
Pick up the key from the Landlord and in you go.
That's what we've always done.

Good in theory Ron but awkward sods tend to be the type to make false accusations. I never go inside a customers house unless they are there.

[Greenleaves]

^^^^ Agreed

Why do people shop for the end of days at Chrismad......the big shops are only closed for one day

[Potstubsdustbins]

We will only enter a property with a key when we have a good relationship with the tenant otherwise like AP says you are wide open to a false accusation in revenge.

I just need to rant that my laptop is way too old for me to play ELITE - Dangerous (released today) which is the long awaited follow up to the best Spectrum ZX game ever.....

Stikll, could be an excuse for an upgrade though!

[Lumpy]

shopping for milk and bread at Christmas.........errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

[Guest]

Why do people bother to ring my door bell if they can't be bothered to wait!

Seriously - it does take me more than 5 seconds to stop what I am doing,make sure my girls are safe and then walk to the door. Grrr! It wouldn't be so bad if it was a one off but loads of people seem to do it, even JV's and no my house is not that big either.

[WendyC]

Have worked out why the lights on the Christmas tree gave stopped working. Evie (cat) has chewed through the cable. Grrr! Was that retaliation for putting flea spot on on her? Should have left her to her fleas.

[JanieB]

Why does the spell chucker keep incorrecting my posts. It's supremely annoying. Especially when having edited the post and got it right it does it again and again. My post in GR is nutters not butters. Grrrrrr.

[Glutton4...]

Sellers who are actually in the next town from the one they state in their listing. That's a whole afternoon needed now, instead of a quick trip.

[Lumpy]

My moan is about myself.
I wish I could raise the 'umph' to sort out where my veggies are going to go next year as the growing season is rapidly getting nearer.
I just can't be bothered to sort out my collection of pots, planters, teeny weeny raised beds, buckets etc and I seem to have over seeded again.
I'm going to blame it on my insomnia!

[lottie dolly]

it will all come to pass,our brains and bodies need a rest,same as the soil,so all is normal,

my rant is,blady land rover step,1 foot slipped of,and the other leg bashed into the step,result,6 days on is really painful,and colors of the bruise family,cannot beat ending the year how you start
