Minor Rant thread 2016

[Cadalot]

I went to Wicks in Sutton to pick up a few items, some of which they didn't have. Its got to be said the one local to me is b***** useless. They have solvent weld pipe in stock but no elbow fittings and I found the last two tees. The assistance suggestion after coming back with white elbows for black pipe from a store somewhere, was visit a larger Wicks in Merton - Doh!

Then I wanted a stop end for my black 4" 100mm pipe that I'm going to make a short comfrey pipe for plot 23B and they only had it in terracotta colour. No coping stones for the brick wall in the garden. I used to think B&Q were bad but this new small Wicks is useless.

Very hot day. Acres of exposed beer bellies at the allotment and the only two colours seem to be milk bottle white or lobster red.

I'll probably have nightmares!

Poorly guinea pig.. and the only local vet that I could get to at a reasonable time wants £65 just for the consultation...

Time off work tomorrow to go to a different vet that charges £20 for a consultation..

Insect bites - on my feet, and between my toes - arghh

That's what you get for having such sweet smelling feet Sal!

Rant - rain last night = brilliant

Washing in rain last night = soaked

[Nannysally99]

That's what I got for walking on the grass early morning with no shoes on.
Rant - itching again

[Lumpy]

Rub vinegar or lemon juice on your itchy bits Sal as the acid counteracts the alkaline bites.

Rant - bitey bugs hiding in the grass

My bladdy husband. He doesn't want to talk about work, he doesn't want to talk about the house or garden.

Oh no, he wants to talk about the bladdy in/ out Europe vote.

Yes darling, I've made my mind up, I do NOT now need to watch every bladdy thing on TV that is Europe related and no, I don't need to discuss it with you...

grrrrrrr.
