Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks for your post weenie as sadly when it come down to it the practicalities of our friend passing away in his own home made it impossible as his wife phoned us up earlier to say he is now at the local hospice where he will see out his last days sadly as at least one wish he had will come true before he passes away is his family will be bringing in the beloved family pet to see him.

Yes certainly when the time is right l am sure they will be contacting the relevant people to voice their views on what transpired on very early Tuesday morning regarding his palliative care pain relief as yes his family were extremely upset that he had gone 6 hours without pain relief especially as a palliative care nurse came in every day to work out how much pain relief he needed on each given day.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I know it's for the best as my dialysis efficiency is deteriorating but they are trying to get me to go for six sessions a week.

And I thought three was bad enough.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That is a huge tiring slog if you do it 6 times dilli a week that is for sure but you must do what you think is right for you dilli.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Chin up Dilli, think of Natalie and be strong! :tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

People in their 20's who act like they are still primary school age. Ugh. I guess at the age of 32, I am now officially a grumpy old git.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Can't really say this is a moan or pet hate, but I will be worried now. I didn't know a coworker has a heart condition and isn't allowed caffeine because it gives them severe heart palpitations. So when I nipped out to McDonald's at break, I got food for her and a couple of other coworkers. She asked for a cappuccino. Which I bought because I didn't know. Ugh. Now I am going to worry about her until I see her next.

And if anything DOES happen to her, I will feel responsible for it.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hopefully she should be alright Mark.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So sad for him to be in pain Den and sad to watch

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes it was not very nice for him to be in such pain and for us to watch Nash but praise be to god he is in a good hospice surrounded by his family now in his last few days on gods earth.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Why do they not know this causes them severe heart palpitations :confused: Mark try and not worry after all if I read your post correctly they asked you for a cappuccino.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

She knew full well, but she was in a bit of a mood yesterday. I can't help feeling responsible though. Me and her get on so well, that they try not to put us on same jobs because (apparently) we muck around too much.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That's because your caring Mark honestly I'm sure she will be fine, I think this cappuccino has caused you a few palpitations though ;)

Ps Did you not know work is not meant to be fun LOL

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I know lol but for some reason when I work with her time flies past, like the other night we started shop floor at 7, get a message on our terminals at 10 to say break at half 10, I was like wow where has time gone.

Yes, I think it has caused me a few palpitations. I will make it clear to her that I will never buy her caffeinated beverages again.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Just popping in every now and again as we are in Dubrovnik. Weather is nice and warm, Not much entertainment at our area, but the drink prices are good, In the Old Town there is a few singers but the drink prices are double the price , A right rip off, that is my moan. We will be here till Thursday,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Glad you are enjoying your holiday nash :) but l can certainly understand your disgust at the pricey drinks as my parents were on a cruise several weeks ago and the cruise ship was asking £10 for a bottle of lager and £6 for a bottle of Evian water.:shocked::(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Mum back in hospital and although we know it is truly the best place for her atm it is still hard. The cancer is taking over now at a rapid rate well it seems that way to me, as now my Mum is very confused the majority of the time and her personality has simply changed in the last month God love her all she does when we visit is cry and beg to come home which is hard on all concerned. I hate leaving her so what I did last night was waited till she fell asleep then left. The nurses were great as I stayed with my Mum until 11:25 and when I phoned this morning they said that she rested well so I'm glad I stayed till she was settled.

The trouble with my Mum is the cancer has affected her speech so badly that very few can understand what my Mother is trying to say which then leads to further upset for her :(

I pray every day that they find a cure for cancer then and then no family will ever need to watch this horrendous disease rob them of a family member.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l am so sorry to hear about your Mum being back in hospital weenie as no one likes to see loved ones suffer as l hope and pray that they can find a cure for your Mum.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Oh weenie I am so sorry to hear your news. I wish there was something I could say that would magically fix things for you. Please know that if I were able I would be giving you a massive hug.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear about your mum weenie. Have a virtual hug from Heero. :hugs: We're thinking of you and yours.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Weenie there's nothing I can add to the above except to be strong and try to think of happier times. :hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Weenie I am thinking of you too, my heart goes out to you and your dear Mum, hugs Nash

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Terrible times, I hope you find solace where you can and the strength to carry on, we're all here when you feel the need to vent frustration or get things of your chest

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thank you all for your kind words. I needed to catch up the laundry today school clothes, work clothes etc so hubby has taken my Dad up this afternoon and I will visit with my Dad tonight. It would be easier if my sister could do some nights and myself the day's but I guess that makes to much sense her to share taking my Dad up. At the moment during the week I will be leaving my house at 1pm then after dropping my Dad back home then I will get home about 5pm then back to Dad's at 6:15 then back home at 9pm but despite this being unfair when it could be so easily shared between my sister and our household my main priority is visiting my Mum and more importantly getting my Dad there to see his wife. I will never understand how someone can be so openly selfish and self centered in our situation but as I have said to my husband what does it really matter at the end of the day all that truly matters to me is my parents not the situation between me and my sister as tbh basically I am taking the advice of two CF members (thank you, you know who you are) and I have stopped making excuses as only she knows the why's and whats of her inaction of her duty as a daughter.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sadly our close friend passed away earlier today surrounded by his beloved family.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear that :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry for your loss, at least his suffering is over now

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Den please know that you’re in my thoughts and prayers.

My sincerest condolences on the loss of your friend.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Den, so sorry to hear your news. My thoughts are with you and your friends family. <hugs>

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My condolences too.

I've come down with some viral thing, been ordered to have 72 hours bed rest.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

A old boss I worked for 1989 to 1997, died on Saturday morning.

I still remember doing 16 hour days for 17 days on the trot, I ended up in A&E after collapsing from exhaustion, on my 71st hour overtime. He cleared 100 hours, which he didn't get paid for.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear this Den but I don't think nobody would want someone to suffer any more than they have to. He's out of pain now and although there'll be a lot of grief, in time that will pass and be replaced with happier memories. That's what I'm sure anyone would want.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks everybody for your condolences as yes its incredibly sad that he has passed away for us and for his family as it all just happened so quickly from the diagnosis of his terminal illness to his sad passing although praise be to god he is not suffering anymore.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Please accept our sincere condolences. At least he was with family at the end.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

You know it is going to come Den but so final is hard to take, My thoughts are with you all, Nash

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Went to the dreaded dentist this morning and alas 2 injections and two fillings later l feel numbed up to the eyeballs.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

:mis::sorry:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Not allowed to see my Mum for 48 hours :( as the hospital said that I can not say for certain that my sickness is due to my Crohns and they simply can't take the risk of infection. Wish I was not sick at the hospital yesterday but I was and a nurse witnessed it so I was not even allowed go back in the ward to say bye to my Mum.

I have to wait till Friday to see my Mum :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That sucks weenie, although the reasons are good for you not being allowed in, it still sucks. Hope you recover soon.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

you know how[ food] ingredients are listed in order of quantity well yesterday i bought some sausages top of the ingredients list

water
i thought i might be meat :dunce:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes l know what you mean as we are very careful when buying things like sausages as a good sausage IMO has to have 70% plus meat in and feel heavier and dense compared to a sausage with much less meat and plenty of other ingredients in them.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I think it's only recently that manufacturers have to state the amount of water in meat products.

You have to pay for decent sausages. These you can usually discern the ground meat through the casings unlike the pink pasty looking offerings.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Supermarkets do that with steak as well.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

It's been one of these days, went to open the (new) greenhouse window and the window frame fell apart. Then decided to try and screw together some of our new metal shed only to find the pre drilled screw holes were too small for the screws they supplied. Undaunted I got the ladders from the garage to get up and replace the smoke detector battery only to find when I finally wrestled it from the hall ceiling that it said 'non replaceable batteries'. That did it, poured myself a large glass of wine in compensation. :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Hope by now you would have seen your Mum,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I feel your pain and frustration Tinky.

10am this morning I decided to compile and print out some information that my neighbours and I will need prior to us all meeting up tonight to fight a proposed building application.

I was lulled into a false sense of having accomplished all I set out to do in under an hour. Silly me.

Sent all the docs to the printer and waited, and waited.

Checked printer.

Out of Ink!

Remembered getting replacement cartridges :) but couldn't remember where I put them.

Checked the logical place, then the less logical places...... sat down and sulked staring whilst staring at a set of 6 drawers.

"Ah Ha" I thought. I'm going to play clever here and check the last drawer first 'cause what you are looking for is always in the last place you look. The dang things, hidden away under my paper supply were smirking at me in the last drawer I checked!!!!!!!!!

Replaced the cartridges and sent the docs to the printer and waited.

Took out and replaced the cartridges again....sent the docs to the printer and waited.

Switched printer off and on again. All that VM advise kicked in.......and all the lights came on so.....sent the docs to the printer and waited.

Waning light came on and I found that the printer had no WiFi signal.

Hunted for the clever WiFi password I knew I had written down somewhere............

1pm password was still hiding from me so had my lunch.

Still munching my butty I had a brainwave and checked in my 'Oh so unhelpful' VM folder:rolleyes: and under the obscure title WiFi/SH3 there was the sodding password.

Put in the password and all seemed well so I sent the docs to the printer and ........

Printed 2 pages then stopped, at least I knew where my printing paper supply was hiding after my earlier search for the cartridges so soon sent the docs to the printer

3pm Finished printing out 25 copies, couldn't find my stapler sod it!........

so had a very large G&T. :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Lol know just how you feel jo :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

It's good to see the solution to all these problems is still alcohol :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My old place of work gone to rack and ruin.

Glad it's not needed any more (although not so sure now), but sad to see it in such a poor state.

they did leave Angela behind to run the place though ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Even though you had keyhole gall bladder surgery 4 days ago Mr M my advice would be to take it easy as although its not as invasive as gall bladder open surgery it is still a procedure that can take a lot out of the patient even though recovery time is quicker with keyhole then it is with open surgery.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Work. Ugh. Specifically told them I didn't want to do overnight stays which has been OK up until now. Then get told you HAVE to do an overnight tomorrow night because nobody else is free to replace you on the 2 jobs we have put you on. Which means sharing a hotel room with a person who I've never met before because the manager will snaffle a room all to himself.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Having another go at fixing the oven clock / programmer. It's one of those with the revolving drums. Two of the gears in the reduction drive had stripped the smaller 10 tooth part of the cog. Thought I'd found replacements out of a washing machine programmer but when fitted the clock ran fast. Turns out they have 49(?!?) teeth instead of the 50 that I needed, the smaller part had the correct number at 10. The gears are modulo 0.4 and that's not common. :(

Trawled the net and the only ones I could find were from a Spanish company, 98p each but a whopping £15 p&p and you needed to be a company and register with them.

Using my hobby drill, a selection of burrs etc and some araldite married the 50 tooth part of the old cog with the 10 tooth part of the washing machine ones. I managed to work out how to put the whole complicated mechanical thing back together. And it ran! But only for a few hours: there's another cog with a dodgy tooth that actually drives the minute drum advance cam and it stopped there. :mad: Now it's hunt the cog to make a hybrid up for that.

Probably a good thing I didn't spend the £20 odd quid, then I would have been mad. Not that the oven needs the clock and we've never used the timed switch on function but I thought it would be nice to fix it.

Some people - don't ask me for advice if you don't even want to listen to it!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

If they snore, just wake them up, and say "night night" to them, and give them a peck on the cheek.

That should keep them awake for the rest of the night, with no snoring from them... :D

People on facebook who say "is dis wot u waz on about, Louise?" a few hours after the stabbing with all the police and helicopters have been and gone and it's on facebook.

Not that manager, and I don't think her boyfriend would like it if I slept in the same room as her lol. No this is a male manager, it's an all male crew.

5 days, early morning silent phonecalls, but sometimes with someone talking "Russian" in the background.

WTF?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Given the very sad occasion it went very well TD as he was given a wonderful send off with his son giving a absolutely lovely speech which summed up his life and everything that entailed and my brother who was as close to him as we were was give the honour of being one of the 6 pallbearers.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Glad it went well today Den, . You will all have happy memories too remember too,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Oh den I'm sorry to hear this, hope everything turns out okay and they get you sorted sooner rather than later.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear this Den, I'm sure they'll get it sorted. :tu:

My moan - some inconsiderate git has put a nice big dent on the door of Osem Jnr's car. He's always very careful about where he parks and is gutted but I've talked to him and calmed him down now. On the Richter scale of life's challenges, this is highly annoying but not worth losing sleep over.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Waiting for the results now.

---------- Post added at 15:21 ---------- Previous post was at 15:19 ----------

Sorry to hear this Osem as one of my family had a similar experience as they left the car in the car park and thus when they came back there was a dent in the side at the back but as you say its not the end of the world in the great scheme of things.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope your results are of good news. Den. Sorry about your car Osem. , Joys of motoring are not without expense , sometimes

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well today was interesting my machine muffed up and broke my line so a trip to Addenbrooks was in order, god alone knows when I'll get home tonight :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So sorry to hear of your bad day dilli as my thoughts are with you.:hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks and fingers crossed for you Den!

Thanks Nash. It's Jnr's car and he's looked after it very well so is still gutted but he'll worry less about the next one now and if you shell out for a repair you can just bet someone else will get you shortly afterwards. Grrr...


Chin up Dilli. :tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

OK, why on a hot day and night, put 3 men in ONE hotel room? Sweet Jesus, we roasted in that room last night.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Just had a phone call from the duty doctor and the upshot is l have to see the doctor in the morning nash and for them also to arrange a scan at the hospital.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Best of luck Den. :tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Went to pay my credit card, had to update my bank card details as it was a new card, then tried to make a payment which was bigger than normal due to expensive new TV.

First the message on the screen said payment successful then after closing that box it said payment declined! I did the same again and it was declined once more.

So stressed me was now worried that 2 payments had gone through and cleared me out, so phoned my bank and explained the issue, and it turns out they now have a £2000 debit card limit for transactions and i needed to pay more than that!

Now if they had told me on the screen i wouldn't of had all this hassle, so i have now paid upto £2000 and need to wait until that clears before i can pay the remaining amount.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

What a mix up for you ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

The doctor contacted the hospital consultant at the hospital this morning and thus l am having a scan tomorrow and thus until then l have been prescribed a anticoagulant.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks for the update, Hope all goes well, Nash

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My son has received his Tribunal date (20th June) with respect to his DLA to PIP transfer. He had been awarded almost no points, therefore lost his right to PIP. We were told that the wait would be several more months, but certain "test" cases would be called forward early to hit the DWP where it hurts, by "solidifying precedents previously set by other Tribunals at First and Second Levels".

So it seems his case is important to the Tribunal Service, and that makes us more anxious than during the whole process so far.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope your sister is alright Mark and that whatever is wrong with her is diagnosed quickly so that she can start managing it.

Good news, I hope? Skin condition sounds so much better than a DVT

Hang in there Taff, I would have thought that with your son's appeal being used as a 'test' Tribunal case it must be assumed to have a good chance of a positive outcome. Fingers, toes and eyes crossed for him.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

There have been a few tribunal decisions over the past few months that DWP has responded to by moving the goalposts.

The Tribunal Service has decided to put their foot down hard, especially when any sudden changes by DWP may reflect badly on the upcoming election.

Fingers crossed.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hopefully you will be back to your old self soon den, take care.

Hope your sister is alright Mark.


Fingers crossed he gets PIP Taf, Good luck.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope our son gets his PIP sorted out Taff, Den I hope you get treatment for your skin condition. Hope your sister is ok and gets things sorted out too Mark , Lot going on today, Take Care everyone

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks everyone, I am extremely worried about her. Nothing I can do though except wait and see, and be there for her. I've got a sneaky suspicion though it was drug related rather than epilepsy. She has her A Levels soon so I am suspecting she was using something to try and keep her awake to revise. Hopefully I am wrong on that, and hopefully it was just something heat related.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope it goes better for you than you think. Most of the people we know via Osem Jnr #2 are better off under PIP.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Mark it could be something as innocent as energy drinks, at my son's school during exam time some of my son's friends including my son were drinking energy drinks or taken caffeine tablets called pro plus to say I went off my head at just how stupid he was being is a understatement and of course he was mad when I told the other boy's parents what our kids were doing. Children just see these as drinks and not realise the danger of these so called energy drinks. I showed my son this in the hope he see's that his Mum is not talking a load of dribble.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...k-told-7533905

Please everyone who has children tell them of the dangers of these so called drinks.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

When will my neighbour learn that we don't break the law and we just want left alone!

Last Wednesday evening hubby allowed our son to reverse his car up our driveway while he was moving mine. Long story short we had a visit from the police stating that they had received a call saying that we were allowing our son who is 15 to drive on a public highway but were not willing to say who reported the incident. My eldest son took over as he is doing law and explained that our neighbour has a interdict against her, he showed them the dashcam footage in where they said that they were happy that no crime had been committed as this was clearly on private land, he also offered to them CCTV footage which they said was no need as they were satisfied that no crime had taken place. My eldest son said that he suspected that it was our neighbour who reported his brother and if his suspicion was correct would they please have a word with her as she knows this was private land due to the court case as both parties were in receipt of the surveys and he suggested the only crime that has been committed in his opinion was was by our neighbour and since he has given proof of our court case with our neighbour along with showing video footage, if his suspicion is correct and that she was the one who reported this incident surely this can be classed as wasteful employment of police time by knowingly making a false report since she knew this was our private property and not a public highway. When my son mentioned our neighbour again the police said so you have a disgruntled neighbour and my son said well you could say that but I can understand being upset at losing a court case and having to pay all costs but just because you have a interdict preventing you from harassing my parents that does not give you the right to use Police Scotland for harassment.

The police have since been at my neighbours house I can only hope that if it was her who reported my youngest son they take my eldest sons advice and explain to her about wasting police time and more importantly that she was the only one who committed a crime as she knew without doubt that this was private land as she has a copy of the land register (title deeds)

I think this proves our suspicion that this was once again my delightful neighbour trying to cause upset to us. I have asked my son if the police will now tell us if it was her that reported his brother and he said no but he is keeping a file just in case this should happen again then he said he will be asking the police to press charges as I really don't need this at the moment or anytime. Will this woman never learn how many times will it take for her to learn or is she really that unintelligent...

Anyway I have more things to worry about atm than this silly woman! but I just can't stop crying at the moment I just do not know how much I can take tbh.
