Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I saw a old DQM change his profile picture to the euro flag on Facebook.

I posted, soon they'll be off my car and we'll be out soon.

I did post that if it cost me my job so be it, it just a job.

he posted thats a stupid comment.

I was going to clarify by stating what I've said here, but I couldn't as he's removed me as a friend and blocked me, he is about 5 years younger, but his actions I'd say 30.

So I guess I can't get a reference if needed :D

His loss.

The funny thing is I can talk to people I work with who are remainers civilised, but I guess he can't.

It's too bloody hot especially in the house!!!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry but another rant about my lovely sister.

Last night my lovely sister called me a stupid bitch although she put the (F) word ending in ING in front of stupid bitch, then she looked right in our car using her favourite word starting with the letter F and ending in ING a load of morons how lovely that was for my son to witness. I'm not saying that me and hubby never swear but really has she no shame or class at all. This was shouted at us in my parents driveway as we were leaving. To say that this left our 15 year son (who is a young 15 year old may I add) bewildered as well as shocked as to why he was being called a effing moron and his Mum a stupid bitch is a understatement, the only reply I gave her was oh shut up you blooter this was said may I add not shouted. Although I should not have replied but I did and she really is the most disgusting person I know, I mean who acts like that so openly and in earshot of their dying Mothers open bedroom window. Although my youngest thought the word I used was fantastic as he had never heard of this word before and naturally I had to tell him although the word blooter is not a swearing it is still not a nice word to use because it's Scottish slang for an unattractive woman and I should never have used it and it was wrong of his Mum to say such a word in front of him.

I did to say to him now what did you learn from that and I had to chuckle when he said Mum are you scared of her Mum as you just told me to get in the car and shut the door and I said no son that is how you handle idiots you ignore them after all you cannot argue with ignorance to which I explained who was the stupid bitch the one going in their car in silence or the one ranting and raving in the street, to which he replied my Aunt then I said who was acting like a moron and now looks the fool to which he again replied my Aunt.

Hubby and I spoke about this last night and he said that he cannot understand as to why I remain so calm and I said I'm not calm I'm angry that she has now included my son in her abusive ways but I need to set an example to our son. What my sister does not know is this was all caught on dash cam which hubby has saved this as he is going to speak to her hubby who is a lovely quite man about her abusive behaviour and this really is not on especially in front of our son. I do get the feeling that she is trying to goad me into a reaction as everything she has done in the past has failed so she thought that she would try this in front of my son who is I admit my Achilles heel but since she has no children she does not realise that as a Mother you need to set a example even if you do feel like getting out the car and having words and trust me I did last night feel like this, but how could I do that when I have always preached to my children walk away from trouble, do not rise to the bait no matter what is being said or done, etc

I do wonder why she needs to rant and rave so loudly as there is honestly no need for this behaviour at all in my opinion as I'm a great believer in that someone who shouts and swears should be ignored as getting into a argument with someone like this only brings you down to their level.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Pretty childish behaviour I'd say.

Sympathies mate, I know how tough it is getting all psyched up for something only to be told it's not going to happen. It's only happened to me a couple of times so for you it must be horrendous by now. Chin up. :tu:

Good luck with all that Den, glad you don't have to suffer the dreaded... :erm:

My wife had that done, starved for 48 hours and turned up to hospital at 7.30 am only to find the equipment had just broken down so she'd have to go through it all over again. Luckily the laid on extra sessions the following weekend so she didn't have to wait long.

Online order for tonight has been cancelled by a certain supermarket after their IT system went belly up last night.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

@ weenie. When I read your post I kept thinking " she's jealous !!". I bet she went red in the face and stamped her feet when you didn't react to her tantrum.

You have so much, a family who love you, a son to be proud of, and you must appear, to her, to be able to juggle everything that is being thrown at you ... though I realise that underneath the surface you are paddling like crazy to keep your head above water at the moment.

I pity her, unsuccessfully trying to make you give a public display of your short comings so that she can try to feel justified in the way she has chosen to live her own self centred life.

:tu: for handling her tantrums in such a grown-up way. <hugs>

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Who was that ?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Tesco.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Ah, dont use them very often.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well its either them or Sainsbury's as Asda are always out of stock of items when they deliver and Morrison's have no online delivery down here currently.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Weenie, what was your relationship like with your sister before your mums illness?

It could be stress and she is just taking out her frustrations on you.

My dad and his sister had a very rough patch when their mum had a heart attack and she had recovered and insisted on looking after out pooch, she told her daughter how accused my dad of trying to kill her, her returned fire with like the time she came home from work to find her belongings on the doorstep.

Their OK, but my dad still hasn't fully forgotten, and this was 20+ year ago.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hom3r it has always been on her terms we are very much like oil and water, I'm very family oriented always have been she is older than me by 6 years. I do not understand her nor her beliefs but I have always made excuses for her to hubby, friends and family. She is very career minded made the decision to not have kids and when the subject came up with her 1st and 2nd husband she divorced them, then she met her 3rd hubby who had a child from his previous marriage and this marriage has worked out for her so far thank goodness as they have been married now for 10 years. Her hubby's daughter just had her 1st baby a couple of months ago and they waited till they could get a cheap flight to see what was her hubby's 1st grandchild may I say that my sister is extremely well off and trust me money is no object to her, now me and hubby would be at the hospital waiting to meet our 1st Grandchild. This year on what is going to be my Mother's last Mothers day she went a girls holiday something that I can't my head around why would you not make your Mother's last Mother's day even more special. When I asked if she could help me with hospital appointments etc she said "I cannot commit nor confirm what I can do" I mean this was our parents that I was asking for help with not a business meeting. So Hom3r there you go that is my sister and I will never forgive her for what and who she is I'm afraid as my eyes have been truly opened (it has only took 48 years LOL)

When I do my parents shopping, housework etc she makes catty comments about here comes Mother earth under her breath she also made this comment just last week when I said to my Dad that I was busy and he would need to wait for his shopping till I dropped the wee one off at his RAF Cadets :confused:

Ugh, today was an absolute disaster. Couldn't do right for doing wrong, got so bad in the end I walked out of the job for 10 minutes and used a brick wall as a punchbag. Feel like utter rubbish tonight.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My friends hubby passed away on Sunday very sudden and not expected. I just cannot believe it he was the same age as me, my heart is breaking for my friend and their children aged 17, 14 and 12. He was a true gent and a real family man and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So sorry to hear this weenie as yes these things can often happen very unexpectedly and quickly sadly with friends and family.:(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry for your loss :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Life seems to just keep kicking you when your down, yesterday my car would not start, the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree then produced a error code saying Stop/Start auto System fault :shocked: so I phoned Lookers where I bought the car from and they said don't worry your covered under Nissan Assistance anyway the man from Nissan assist came out checked things out and said your battery is sitting at 10 and should be sitting at 12, as the car is under warranty just book it in and I will send them my report. Although he got the car is working again I'm not happy at using it until this problem is sorted. I would not have thought a 15 month old car would have a battery problem but the chap said that he suspects a cell is away :(

The car is booked in on Friday at 10:30 so we will see what they say, hubby is certain that the battery should be covered under warranty that if it is the battery. I just hope there is not a underlying fault causing the battery to drain as I really need my car atm as my parents need me.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That sucks weenie, hopefully nothing too serious and it is covered under warranty.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So sorry Weenie, about your sad news. Terrible at anytime but dreadful when it is sudden, God Bless them and you

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So sorry weenie for this very sad and trying time you are going through.:(

My minor moan, someone (who shall remain nameless) leaves the last sheet of toilet paper on the roll so he doesn't have to replace it with a new one. Give me strength! :rolleyes:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Ah, but does he know where you have cunningly hidden put them?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Tinky I think that is a man thing LOL even my youngest does that now, what my two boys also do is they put a empty milk carton back in the fridge now that really annoys me.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hey I ALWAYS replace the loo roll when it's empty :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

And l do.:)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

As do the OH and I. We also get it fitted the "right" way round. ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yep I hate it when it's upside down, or one side seems to become longer than the other, am I being picky? :D Thinks maybe I ought to get a life lol.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

OMG there seems to be a complete treatise on the subject.

Wiki

We like the "over" orientation. Seems my mother and two sisters went the other way. :spin:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry guy's did not mean to offend :)

I'm really sad I do this, don't know why I just do.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

If I did that my missus would think I was ill / or after something ;) :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

LOL dilli :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

At least it's round the "right" way. :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Some conversation about Loo rolls. I had a good laugh,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Osem Jnr does that with everything - toilet rolls, tissues, juice, squash, jam, sauces, anti-persiprant, shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste you name it! Grr...

:)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

On the subject of loo's what is the best way to clear a blocked toilet ?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

If you think you may have dropped something down there, try and pull it out before flushing the toilet. We found that out Xmas 2015 the hard way on Boxing Day. Ugh, without a toilet until December 29th.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

When in doubt C-4

That, of course, assumes you just want it unblocked and aren't too concerned about the subsequent state. :D

G'day Nash have a gander here

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well another visit to the hospital this afternoon and lets hope this time they know that l am coming.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Certainly hope so Den.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Long afternoon at a new hospital yesterday has left me knackered to-day. Thought I had a day off but got a phone call saying that my two new Consultants were both available. So... I now have 5 Consultants spread over 3 hospitals, some good news though is that they all seem to be happy working together. YAY.

Now just have to get everything sorted for an operation and, my real moan, find a way to stop my GP being a pain in the butt.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes it was fine this time Tinky.:)

---------- Post added at 06:12 ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 ----------

So sorry to hear of your tiring day at the new hospital jo as yes sometimes heads have to be cracked together so that they all know the exact full relevant medical details about you and what they can plan and do next.

l hope and pray that your operation goes fine whenever it is as well.

Not sure what you can do to your GP though.;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Jo I second what Den says and hope your operation goes well.:hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

:hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Good Luck for your Operation when things get sorted ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks everyone. I attend a multi GP practice so I have reluctantly decided to change my long standing and previously very supportive GP and hope that a different GP will be more willing to accept the guidance of my Consultants and not decide that he knows better.

I hope that my operation can be done soon, just have to get my immune system to behave. Finger, eyes and toes crossed. :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Good luck Jo. Hope everything works out OK for you.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks heero.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Congrats to the Met Orifice for their continual, staggering inability to predict 2 hours worth of weather and spoiling/wasting my flying hours today.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope everything goes well with the op and your new gp is more supportive

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l know what you mean as they have these big Supercomputers in Exeter and they can't even predict the right weather a few miles away many a time.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Looking through my address book and realising that a great percentage of the people in it are no longer with us, also several names of ones I don't remember how sad it that?:(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Its very sad Tinky as one does not think about these things when one is younger but as we get into middle age and further on into our twilight years it becomes sadly more apparent to us all that some of our family and close friends have passed away and that those holes in our life can never be replaced again.:(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My dear Mum passed away on Friday evening in the comfort of her home surrounded by her family.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family during this very sad time weenie.:(

Oh weenie I am so sorry. My thoughts are with you and your family. Please PM me if you need a shoulder to lean on. <hugs>

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear of your loss. Please accept our condolences.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear that :( contact me if you need to chat!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So sorry to hear about your Mum weenie :sorry::mis:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That is really sad Tinky, i feel sad when I have seen this in my address or phone book

So sorry to read your news Weenie, My heart goes out to you and your family, We are all here for you, God Bless

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So sorry to hear this, I know how you're feeling and how hard it'll be for you to get through the next few days and weeks but you will get through them and you've got plenty of friends here that will help.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear that. I hope that she was comforted by having her family with her.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

A trivial moan given weenie's very sad news, but work take the absolute Michael. They told me they would do what they could to accomodate me, I wouldn't be asked to do overnight stays and all that. Then today they want me to go and do an overnight stay Sunday. I don't want to, can't do it and now am fighting with the manager for ASDA, manager for my Sunday job, and Area Manager to get out of ASDA without getting a no show strike on my record.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

You need to make sure all communication about you can't do overnight work is in writing and not just verbal.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So sorry for your loss weenie. Condolences to you and your family

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear this weenie but she's no longer suffering and nor would she want you and your family to I'm sure. It's so hard to do at times like this but do try to think of all the happy times you had together and that she's at peace now. The tears will flow of course but in time the pain will subside and be replaced with smiles as you remember the mum she was. :hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Weenie. Just to let you know, you are in my thoughts, God Bless

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thank you everyone.

Pah looks like the needle thing has been rescheduled for Friday :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Got sat out of last night's count, totally mucked up in the freezer (which is unlike me, and had I known which one was being audited I could have done the tag on the cage of ice cubes, which was just literally scanning 14 full boxes of ice cubes!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l will keep my fingers crossed that it is not too discomforting for you dilli as thankfully there are no needles going in me now until the 2nd week of August..

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

They scare the crap out of me, I mean LOOK at them. I had a look at a real one today and nearly passed out.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l think the vast majority of us would be frightened by them dilli.:Yikes::eeek:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Just look away it is only a small prick, atleast that is what i always did.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Even looking away the feel and the thought of needles can make a grown man or woman agonize.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Luckily i always blank that out.

Maybe hypnosis is the answer.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

When my house was built some numpty decided to plant 4 hybrid black poplar trees in the front garden. They are now approaching 80ft tall and the roots are undermining the driveway and the drains have had to be repaired on several occasions recently. There's a great deal of expense looming on the horizon methinks.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear that Peter as is there not a limit how high one can grow a tree in ones garden

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

5 hours to count the freezer last night in the Co-Op. Ugh. Knackered me.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well they did get the needle in but my vein was too fragile to use, try again next week!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Is that a relief for at least another week dilli.:)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Once they get it going I have to do it three times a week :(

Still it wasn't as bad as I was expecting!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Not really Den plus they've been there for over 50 years. Fortunately they're not really close enough to damage anyone else's property. It would be a shame to get rid though as they're a haven for wildlife.
