Ah, but they don't break up here until around the 23rd of July so still a month's worth of peace.:D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Then you can pop down to Sennen until they go back old boy.:)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yeah, but the little buggers angels are bought down there on holiday and just infest the place.:(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

We have 7 kids in all at our close plus the friends with 3 bikes 2 large scooters, Some days it is very loud & other days they are ok. It is when they run in & out and bang doors it is awful.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Dishwasher's thrown a wobbly: Keeps pulsing on and off and getting more full of water. I unwisely opened the door to check and it came gushing out.:( At least it's in the same water resistant utility room as the leaky washing machine.

Last time it did this several years ago it was a sensor pipe in the base had got clogged with grease. Hopefully it's the same again as it was an easy fix.

It's got far enough through the cycle that the plates are clean, just wet.

Job for tomorrow: Deep clean the beastie.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

in my experience if the dishwasher breaks down just tell her she's not getting a lift to bingo ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sat in a and e feeling sorry for myself :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear that you are in A&E TD and l do hope you are alright this morning.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I'm fine, pride bruised more than my jaw. Might be nature's way of telling me I'm getting to old and should find another line of work

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Do you work as a doorman TD?.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

just as long as they get you sorted! Hope you get better soon.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Shower where we are staying is crap (can't wait to get home for a real shower) and the "pond" just outside the barn is a haven for mossies the size of 747's.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Always better to get stuff checked out TD, glad it was nothing too serious.


The "money light" (engine management light) has just came on :( dreading the thought of what is actually up with the car & the cost.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Have a check of the water and oil levels. The handbook will tell you where and how if you don't know (Or get a man to do it:D). Might just be something simple.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hubby has done all that, what really gets me is the car was in the garage on Thursday getting a front exhaust pipe fitted. It just seems to be one thing after another lately heero.

Hubby's mate is here at the moment with a wee box thing to see what the problem is.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

He'll be asking the computer on the car what the problem is. Hope it's something simple. Maybe a sensor in the exhaust has not been properly plugged in. Fingers crossed.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yeah, that happened to my Nan. Had part of her exhaust fixed and the oxygen sensor wasn't working. New sensor installed, problem fixed.

My moan is that I was up A&E last night, most horrendous pain in my right foot. Doctor couldn't decide if a hairline stress fracture or plantar fasciitis flaring up. On the plus side, as I can feel the pain throbbing through my foot I know I have no problem with the blood flow to my right foot.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l hope your foot ain't too bad Mark.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes foot problems bloody suck - Hope it feels better soon :tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks den and dilli. Took a couple of codeine tablets at lunch, been asleep for 2 hours. Plus side, pain has eased off remarkably so maybe just plantar flaring up. Hope so, don't want to cancel Tuesday if I can help it.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

No life.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I have a visitor later whom I really am not sure I want to visit. But I guess it's best I just get it over and done with.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

@ Mark hope your foot is better today.

@ dilli sometimes that's the best way, just grin smile nicely, be polite and then be glad when the visit is over ;)

---------- Post added at 10:21 ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 ----------

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks, foot seems remarkably better today. So much so that I went for a 15 minute walk and it didn't aggravate anything. So looks like just a minor flare up of plantar fasciitis. Thank God.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Chin up, sometimes when life is at its lowest it has a habit of turning the corner unexpectedly, just make sure you seize the opportunities that come your way

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Unexpectedly you say...

The last time an opportunity or opportunities sprung having hit villainville unwanted people decided to mix in with good making things difficult to the degree of rejection of opportunity or opportunities. I had to walk away.

No life. No money. Yet the authorities are having a field day!

Receiving a pre-assessment appointment for an operation I didn't know I was having... :confused:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well it may not even be for you - I've had that before ;)

Anyway good luck with it if it is.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

You better give them a tinkle then just to make sure they have not sent it out by mistake.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Are you due for a Lobotomy? :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

It's for me alright, I did that. The mistake was not giving me a follow-up appointment after my spell in hospital over Easter. So the pre-assessment is now cancelled and a consultation arranged for a few weeks time. Then we'll see about any operation...

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

In that case, good luck with the consultation and hope you get whatever it is sorted out.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope things turn out good for you Osem.

B12 jag today & what a nippy little jag it is, but worth it as it makes me feel a lot better or should I say less tired.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I often hear people say they feel better after B12 but most I speak to don't really notice any difference myself included. And yes it does nip a bit don't it.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I notice a difference for a good couple of weeks afterwards but really get tired when it's due, I've heard a lot say they notice no difference but I must say I do.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Glad your foot is getting better, Marc

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

What I thought was hay-fever giving me sneezing fits seems to have morphed into a cold. Just the thing when the weather turns hot having your head feel like it's stuffed with cotton wool. :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l hope you feel better soon heero as thankfully l have just got rid of my cold.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So called summer cold seem take longer to hold away, Take Care

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope you feel better soon heero, nothing worse than feeling all bunged up.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks for your wishes folks.

Head's feeling a little better now.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

A lovely day out in Portsmouth ruined by the cost of lunch. Cafe at dockyard packed, so bought sarnie and drink from station. Near £6.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

We usually take packed lunches when we go out for the day. Saves a fortune.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I would have done, but forgot to do them yesterday and then didn't have time this morning before leaving.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes sadly a lot of these places are pretty pricey Mark.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My bright yellow cast on the left is attracting thunderflies.

Well that's different. I just hope the little buggers are not getting inside. :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Apparently ladybirds are also attracted by yellow so maybe they'll come and eat the thunderflies.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That's it - I'm off outside to sit on my deckchair and see who wins!!! :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

:D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hot weather. Don't mind the sun, but why do we have to have it so damn humid? I am wishing for 6 inches of snow right now I am that hot and uncomfortable. Anyone got rain forecast tomorrow? Might come your way tomorrow.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Rain in Cambridge all afternoon tomorrow.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Oh excellent. If it does rain, could you let me know and I'll make my way there. Only about an hour from Stevenage on the train.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Met office radar is showing a large area of heavy rain moving in from the channel at the moment heading north. Looks like we're going to get a soaking.

Met office map link

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Looks like I chose the right day to go to Portsmouth though, would have definitely ended up in a heap on the tube yesterday. If no rain by lunch I might go and do a rain dance in the garden lol.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Raining here now and 17C. You won't melt but you might go rusty. :LOL:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Oh, please let it hit Stevenage soon then. Need a nice downpour so much.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Wow jefferson' s leg is developing it's own economy system

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

5 minutes of spitting rain. That was it. Nothing more. Still so hot here. Where was this torrential rain storm promised to me? Not happy at all.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Nothing at all here in Sandy yet.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well it rained here. :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hospital, eyes and FRICKING needles.....

That is all for today.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

A nice weekend indoors now lol someone sticking a needle in my eyes always makes me want to stay in :)

Still it'll be ok.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Feel a sore throat coming on and a cold too, I have used a throat spray which they say is good, Just wait and see what tomorrow brings

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Just come back from holiday in middle of France. 30+ degrees every day. We were on an island in the Vienne river at Chinon. Wife got bitten several times by mosquitos one night when we walked down the island (all her bites swelled up, I just had one tiny bite), that didn't make here very happy, but at least all the swallows and swifts etc kept them out of the house.
then we read the comments in the visitors (big mistake) as the last visitor had his car vandalized with big foot prints all over it (apparently he claimed it would be a write off). On the last the rear view mirror on the car got broken. Now I'm not sure whether I left it sticking out so it was hit by a car of some unemployed lout got at it.

Then my slippers were left behind for the perfectly valid reason (for a woman) that when my wife did her check the slipper were on my feet therefore it must be my fault :confused:

Lastly we made a determined effort to get rid of the 1 and 2 cent coins so of course brought more than we started with. Still we can palm them off on the eldest granddaughter when she goes to Spain later :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear that you are feeling under the weather nash and l do hope you feel better soon.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My moan is all my own fault. Put my trainers outside yesterday to air them, forgot to get them in last night and found this morning that a snail had used one for their exercise. Not to get rid of the snail trail before wearing out later.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sounds like the one I've just had. Good news is that it's only bad for a day or so. Hope you get well soon.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Back at work after two weeks off to find the work equivalent of a huge steaming pile of cow manure waiting for me along with people who think an out of office message means just resend the email on the day I'm back instead of maybe finding someone else to do it.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sounds like my place..

One of our printers had a known fault that was easy to work around, but not covered by the warranty and would have cost at least £500 to repair. Essentially, a small switch in one of the paper cartridges jammed and occasionally had to be reset. A job that took 5 minutes with a small screwdriver. It was a documented problem, so all the techs could find the solution (assuming they didn't know it).

When the switch jammed, the printer registered a paper jam and was essentially out of action until the problem was solved.

This switch jammed while I was on holiday. The first I heard was when I got back and almost the first thing my assistant said to me is "Sorry, but I've handed in my notice". Then I got a phone call from my boss's boss asking me to come see him now. I did, and got essentially ripped a proverbial new one because our only A3 colour printer had been out of action a week, and had caused a delay to a coursework deadline.

So, I calmly pointed out to my boss that this was a known problem with the printer, and at least one technician knew the solution (a colleague, who seemingly stayed silent during this whole debacle, was the one who discovered the problem and the solution and told me). Even had they not known it, I had documented it if anyone bothered to look it up. I also pointed out that most of the team had my mobile number. If they had bothered to contact me, I would have talked them through the solution even though I was on holiday.

And yes, coursework deadlines are considered important enough by the uni that if we (as techs) do anything to delay them, we can get a written warning.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Seizures in the middle of what was cupposed to be a celebratory meal out last night. Osem Jnr#2 had one and it never gets any less frightening as we're always fearing the worst...

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l am sorry to hear that your son had a seizure and l do hope he is better this morning Osem as yes its extremely frightening to see it happening in front of your eyes.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes he's fine now Den thanks (touch wood as always!). Thankfully he recovered sufficiently quickly for us to get him home and off to bed before he conked out. This morning at 7.00 am he was as bright as a button and back to his usual self - a combination of PITA and a really lovely lad... :) Our main worry is that he's having more fits despite some fairly hefty increases in his meds. :erm:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope your son is all right now Osem. I can't begin to imagine how scared you were.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope your lad is recovering OK. I know how frightening it can be as my mother has occasional passing out fits due to lowering blood pressure, first time it happened I thought she was having a stroke and got the ambulance out down to A&E.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Quite a holiday Arcimedes , I had a laugh about the slippers, I am feeling a bit better today, my throat seems to be better but my head still aches, should be a bit better tomorrow Den

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Osem I do hope your son is feeling better today. I cannot imagine just how frightening it was for you and your family and it's only natural to fear the worst. Hugs and best wishes to you all and give Osem Jnr #2 my best wishes and of course a big hug from me.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yet another colonoscopy due for next month with a 3 day liquid diet and a slow prep oh joy.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Cheers guys. Yes he's back to normal (or I should say his version of normal) now. :)

He's had a good active day today, having been to an outdoor pursuits centre today with his class and done all sorts of climbing, swinging and zip wire gliding. We've only just brought him home from school but he's still full of beans and we're both knackered...

Happy days however. :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope your son is getting better Osem, Good Luck for next week peanut

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I'm glad he's ok :tu:

I hope it all goes ok.

My next round of tests start next week. Which are heart ultrasound and stress tests then MRI on my heart.

Still at least it's only foot clinic this week :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear of yet more tests for you peanut and l do hope you get through your ordeal fine and well.

It never rains but it pours with all the tests you have dilli.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Not pleasant. Hope it goes well.

Same to you Dilli. :tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Do a swop with you peanut, next week I have an endoscopy.
The one where you have nasty liquid down your throat, no food just clear liquids.
Oh did I say, not move away from toilet whilst nature takes it course.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes the ain't very nice either RB as l felt dreadful after my last one several years ago.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

After experiencing a colonoscopy it sure is not a nice thing to get done peanut. Take care :hugs:

@ dilli & raging bull good luck with your tests hugs to you both.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks :tu:

Last Thursday I seen the nephro, kidneys are stable after 6 weeks of peeing blood. So he's put me down for iron infusions and Vit D. Blood pressure is high so doubling up on those meds as well. I don't have a clue to what's happening now. Just taking every day as it comes.

Today was Gastro, results from the nuclear med / MRI shows a very long stricture that can't be sorted by any meds, I was hoping for infliximab but that's now been ruled out. They need to check the colon to see if that's been affected as I have active Crohn's as well as a lot of scarring. Also need to check for anything else like bowel cancer as I would not notice any symptoms to what I have now, it's something I can't put off. Saying that I have actually lost count now of how many colonoscopies I had.

It seems like I'm heading towards surgery now as it's the getting the point of the all or nothing scenario. But in all honesty, depression is getting me badly and feel it's a losing battle.

---------- Post added at 19:46 ---------- Previous post was at 19:45 ----------

I had a few of those too, they are best when they do the colonoscopy as you get the full whack of sedatives. The liquid is just a spray. Let me know if you want to know more. :)

Hope it goes well.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Will have to start a club!
Had my colonoscopy 10days ago, MRI scan in 2weeks (have to get my ICD switched off first). Just getting past a joke with tests as and when letter arrives.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I'd take a colonoscopy over an MRI any day. With PKD they have to check for berry aneurysms, so usually the MRI takes 40mins to an hour with your head locked in a cage. 1 had to be stopped as couldn't take anymore of it, the 2nd time was totally dosed up. I fear that machine like I do spiders and I can't stay in the same room as a spider.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My problems stem from the fact I was in the chemical industry for 30+years, we used to use such as cyanide and alpha napthalamine. (One kills you the other found to cause C)
Lucky me still dodging coffins.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

@ raging bull, peanut and diili.

Wish I could make everything go away for you guys, I certainly don't envy you any of the procedures you have had lately and still have lined up. Speaking from experience I know they are all necessary but that doesn't make them any easier to deal with.

Stay strong guys, you are all an inspiration to me.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Got to go over to Brighton later, looks a bit showery :erm: Why couldn't it have been yesterday which was nice and sunny or tomorrow which is also supposed to be sunny?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I can only echo this.

You guys have way more strength than I ever would given those circumstances. I think I'd run and hide under my bed given half of what you lot have been through.
So it's your fault the weather turned then, git. :p

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

They said it was going to be nice and sunny in Eastleigh yesterday but alas several heavy showers came along.
