Wasps that hide in the grass when you are barefoot!

I've just been to buy 6 bags of sand. 22kgs each. When paying for them I asked for help loading them, 1 because I'm a girlie and 2 because I'm not in the first flower of youth. The bloke (much younger and fitter than me) said he was on his own and couldn't leave the till unattended. Fair enough. He then followed me to the heap of bags and stood and watched while I loaded them on my own!

I ordered some marketing material from National Pen, they made it and missed one of the digits on the phone number, I refused to pay until I received the marketing handouts correctly produced. I have been chased by their debt chasers three times over the last 19 months and each time I have said I will pay for an order when they make it correctly.

Today I received an example of something else they can produce for me, again the phone number is missing a digit. I now have six examples of what they can produce for me and all with the same wrong number on it.

a) Why not take me off their mailing list as I asked
b) How come they phone me on the number I provided so they have all 10 digits in the correct order but only use 9 of them when they make my order or examples of what they can produce!

Will I ever purchase or order anything from them again NO!

Acts of Downright Stupidity !!!!



Conifers are not a good idea close to a building built on clay. They are a really silly idea when planted in a pocket built into a garden wall, but I bet they looked really cute when they were newly planted !

Teeth, thats my rant.

Last week for some obscure reason half of my big back tooth at the bottom decided to divorce the rest of its structure. I had no idea that a broken tooth could be THAT sharp. Saw the dentist the following day (much begging was done to the receptionist) who took off the sharp edges but said no decision could be made about it as my tounge was dripping blood all over the place - it needed time to heal.

Back there today....................it has to come out.

And, then she said it.............you will need a top and bottom plate to replace all the missing ones. Despite religiously brushing twice a day with normal, electric or sonic (why do I think hedgehog) brushes I only have 20 teeth including the big one that is doomed.

I partly blame the mad hospital dentist who removed 8 of the little critters when I was 13 due to a 'crammed' jaw.

I really am not looking forward to this appointment..........pull out............then infection..........then antibiotics.............then squidgy poop here I come. Same as normal then.

Oh and false nashers to boot.

My rant - Lumpy made me count my teeth and I only have 22, including the broken back tooth that was repaired with a dental onlay. There are alternatives to extractions and falsies. Double check

That when I asked about this the dentist said that she could stuff it full of something or another but it would not last long - there had been a huge filling in it that had also dropped out. Oh joy mushu food for me then.

I have 2 rants today avid readers -
1. Teeth - got to go on Tuesday and have the big back one ripped out (gently and with consumate skill removed HAH).

2. The size of some jars. Thought I would treat myself to a four fruit marmalade buttie for lunch - nope can't get the lid off as the jar is too wide for my hands to grip properly. Triangle chhese it is then..............
