[QUOTE=denphone;35895764]Difficult times Den. <<<hugs>>>

Every moment is so precious and the memories you and your friend's family have of the next weeks and days will mean so much to all of you in the future. We found that photo albums and music played a big role when we were in the same position. Those shared memories of happy times still bring back happy memories of our friend's last smiles and even laughter in what was a hard period to deal with.

Next doors' garden is awash with horsetails and dandelions again. I wish he'd get a bl**dy grip! I have just applied weedkiller to 82 horsetail sprouts that have appeared across our garden boundary.

I gave him the necessary weedkiller and a sprayer, but he says he has no time to use them!

The lazy sod is probably hoping you are going to offer to do it Taf. :rolleyes:

The average is 2 green bags per fortnight around here, but one small family puts out 10 or more! All just chucked into the bags without crushing or folding.

My niece told me she leaves school on May 5th, and only goes back to study for her GCSE :O

Only last week I was helping her to count.

Where have the years gone.

But in Dec/Jan I give her the account I started for her when she was 2 weeks old, and she doesn't know it exists or there is just under £3,000 in it.

Hate to say it but I don't rate her chances of a C in maths then

Jokes aside it's a pretty cool gesture re the cash

Ugh, I wish I had been able to land another job this month while I've been off (not for lack of effort, I have lost count of the applications I have sent out) because the management are taking the absolute Michael. I was put on a job for this Thursday, I was going to do it but then got a hospital appointment so cancelled it, in plenty of time too so I wouldn't be falling foul of the no show policy, and then when a week had gone by and not taken out I emailed the Area Manager, telling him I wasn't available to do the job. He took me out. Wake up this morning, and there's an email from the AM telling me (and a few others too) to confirm the job. AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I remember saying on a book, "how many dogs can you see", which she did find.

Over the page was a Autumnal scene, I said "How many leaves are there" :D, she replied in a looking over glasses look, "Uncle, do it properly".

I'm trying to arrange things for my Mum and I just feel that I'm going around in circles and it is driving me mad, especially when people say I will call you back and they don't then you phone them numerous times throughout the day only to get out of office reply then the dreaded voice mail where they say I will call you back leave a message :mad:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes it irritates us when they say they will call back and they never do weenie as to us and l am sure many on here including yourself are the same in when we say something we do it but alas a lot of us are of the old school where sadly nowadays some others are not like that.

The sign "Think Biker, Think Bike" should be banned, especially when they overtake and are in my lane, coming at me head on.

As well as undertaking all the time on the motorway.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That's why they do the ads though isn't it? To ensure people double check their mirrors for bikes as well as cars.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I tend to stick to email wherever possible now when dealing with stuff like this. That way there's proof of when messages have been sent and how long it was before they were replied to. There's often very good reason to want to have written evidence of what has been said/agreed should a dispute arise later.
