Just be glad you can't see 'em coming. You know where I am if needed my friend.

Yep all of them apply, that's him alright very succinctly put, but then after 40 years I'm so used to it, but I wouldn't swop him, bless him.:)

In Tescos this morning I asked if there was anyone serving on the tills, this was followed by a long discussion among the staff before one of them 'volunteered' to do it.:rolleyes:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes l know exactly what you mean Tinky when one goes in early to the supermarkets and there is usually no one on the till and my partner generally comes to the point very quickly by saying well if l ain't served soon then l will leave the trolley here and go somewhere else and of course that usually stirs them into action pretty quickly we find.

Bad vision in right eye for month due to haemorrhages and now having to get a Vitrectomy on it at the end of the month.

Not looking forward to it.

Ouch. Good luck Stephen, and that is my worst nightmare. I hate my eyes getting touched, so when I have my retinopathy screenings I am always squeamish when they put the drops in.

Went to see my mum in hospital the other day. She's not able to explain anything much and I hadn't been able to chat to a nurse or doctor on my previous visits and wanted to get some information on her condition so went up to the nearby nursing station. At least 10 staff were standing or sitting around doing various things, including laughing and chatting. Nobody made eye contact with me at all or asked if they could help, not even the 3 staff sitting just behind the reception desk who just carried on with what they were doing. Eventually an older woman came by from along the corridor and asked if she could help and then spent about another 10 minutes trying to find the ward nurse or a doctor for me to speak to. Luckily after about another half an hour I was able to speak briefly to a junior doctor who explained the situation very politely. I'd have been happy to wait but it would have been nice if someone had at least acknowledged I was there in the meantime.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Nearly had a heart attack today, when I found out because of a cock up by a previous employer, my tax code had been changed from 1100 L to 335 L. After a quick call, got it sorted out but it means I have lost nearly £100 in tax this fortnight that I can ill afford to lose.

You should get it back.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I was going to type that then I realised the date.:)

Could be you will need to claim it back when you do your 16-17 tax return.

So yeah, get it back but it might not be straightforward.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

We all moan or you could say We are getting it off our chest,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Depends as not everyone earns enough to fill in a Tax return, i only do one because i went over the capital gains tax limit and i cant seem to stop the bloody thing now.

in 48hrs time, I'll be a married man. But right now, the nerves now are almost uncontrollable.

Aaaargh

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I was told that once my employer receives my new code, it should be refunded on my first wage payment after they update it on their end. I was just cross because I had no communication from them, despite them saying we sent a letter in January, did you not get it? Er, if I had I would have called BEFORE today to sort it out.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Just try to think of the wonderful days you will have as a forthcoming married couple and of course just remember who is the boss in your household and you won't go far wrong.;)
