Sorry for your loss :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Took off from Melbourne over 14 hours ago, and there is fog in Dubai, so we will be in a holding pattern for at least an hour.

If these keeps up, we could be up here all morning... :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry weenie.

And mine is finding out that despite what I was told to my face, someone at work HAS been insulting me behind my back. I am seriously close now to just handing my notice in and telling them where they can put the job. I can only take so much more before I snap completely at them.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks Mark.

Mark if your thinking about handing in your notice remember it is easier to find a job when your in employment. I would think that you have a very good reason if you were asked at a interview reasons for leaving since your on a zero hour contract you could say you need job security any employer knows how important this is especially in this day and age. Maybe this link will help you with the do's and don'ts on handing your notice should you feel this is your only option.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I have 2 draft resigations letters, one is similar to thoses in the links, the other is a 5 page behmoth telling them the 10 reasons why.

The later is my Lotto win and never need to work again one. :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Fingers crossed you get your lotto win Hom3r, we used do the lotto but not since they added numbers.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Trust me, nothing would give me greater satisfaction than winning the Euromillions and quitting the next day. I've already told them I will be doing that anyway.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

If you resign, you won't get Jobseekers Allowance (to the best of my knowledge).

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

A Jobcentre sanction of 1 to 3 months is possible as well if the lottery dream does not come true as my sister quit her job for very good reasons and was sanctioned accordingly.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Top tip, find another job, then resign.
Many seem to get that the wrong way round.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

When you realise you've become accustomed to stupid prices, when after a Dubai brunch, you're really pleased that the happy hour prices for a bottle of beer are only £8 per 330ml bottle...

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Safe Journey, Enjoy your holiday ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I would only quit if I had another job to walk into, or I had the means to support myself financially without needing benefits. Been looking today for a new job.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

The transport company that takes me to/from Hospital has gone bust. Being fetched in a taxi at the moment.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear that dilli as l have just read about it about half a hour ago.:(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I hope a permanent solution is sorted out for you soon. In the meantime hopefully the taxis will be a tad more reliable than the the old transport company. Fingers crossed for you.

That moment when you see the postman walking up your driveway and for a split second you think I need to put the dog in the kitchen, then it hits you like a ton of bricks that he is no longer here :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I feel your pain.

I remember they I left for work and knew he wouldn't be coming home from the vets that day.

I worked in a warehouse and we packed parcels and had a sheet we used and they were labelled a to z, The last one I filled was K9 :(.

Then went home to a crying mum and sister :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Not nice at all Hom3r tbh.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Got home to find out that the brain tumours are now spreading, they have spread to the spine and liver. Doctor thinks no longer than end of October.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I'm sure you'll make good use of what time you have. The doctors gave my old man only a couple of months when they discovered tumours had spread to his liver and lungs but he actually lasted 9 months, most of which he spent at home, functioning normally and in very little pain. The brain's a different matter of course and without knowing what state she's in now it's hard to know how much she's suffering. We were lucky in that regard. Hope you are too.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Not the kind of news anyone wants to hear Mark. I am sure that you will do your very best to make the most of the time you have left with her count. Spoil her and try to create happy memories that you can draw upon in the coming days and months.

You know that we will be here for you whenever you need to vent or have a shoulder to lean on sweetie.

<<<<< big hugs>>>>>

Jo

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Mark I honestly cannot express just how sorry I am to hear this. It is never nice nor easy knowing that were going to loose someone who means the absolute world to us.

As Jo has said make every moment count have your laughs, spoil your Nan rotten with all you have.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I wish with all my heart I could swap places with her. I would in an instant.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Mark your Nan would not want that now come on think about this. Your Nan loves you with all her heart and the one thing that your Nan would want is for you to carry on making her proud and you know that she is very proud of you. Mark your posts show how much you care and love your Nan just as she does you.

I know it is hard at the moment and believe me if I could I would take all the hurt, confusion and sadness away I would without a second though but unfortunately I can't.

My advice is speak to someone get the answers you need and the help your Nan is entitled too.

Macmillan Support Line 0808 808 00 00

Marie Curie 080 0090 2309 lines open till 6pm.
https://www.mariecurie.org.uk/help/s...e-support-line

If you prefer Marie Curie offers online chat.

My heart is breaking for you Mark :hugs: I found both these charities amazing but who helped me the most was Marie Curie but that is just me.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Useful links weenie. :tu:

Don't be too proud to ask for support Mark.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

If was not for both of these amazing charities I would have been lost tbh Mark.

I found MacMillan to be very useful for booklets etc I gave a donation but you don't need to.

In regards to Marie Curie I would have been totally lost without them, also my Mum would not have been granted her final wish and that was to pass away at home.

Marie Curie made this possible and for that I will be forever grateful and will for the rest of my life support them for example you can buy an hour of care at £20.00 or Marie Curie Daffodil Pin Badge at £2.00.

Mark I really recommend that you phone both of these charities and if for any reason they can't talk they will phone you back.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

This may get fixed today as i have a VM guy around to fix the pixelating channels on the Tivo and hopefully he can repair the phone line too.

I didn't phone up as it is far less stressful just to post on their forum, i had to wait 5 days for a reply but by doing that i could easily agree which day i wanted the visit on.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I am going to have a moan, the woman in the next back green from us ( we have no fence as it collapsed years ago and council never renewed it) has been watching her daughters dog for months, she allowed it to run in our back green and do its duties without lifting it up. I went to her door and told her about it and she apologised , the next week it happened again, I went to the council who went to her door and gave her a warning, It stopped for a while now the same thing happen last week , I asked her to take the dog out on the lead and then she would see where it was happening, another apology , Last Thursday same thing, This has been reported to the council again, Must be someone else I can report this too as she obvious is not bothering to obey the rules, or listen to me or the Southlanarkshire Council ,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Nash you could try Environmental Services @ South Lanarkshire, here is a link.

https://www.southlanarkshire.gov.uk/...ental_services

If anybody sees a dog owner who doesn't clean up after his or her dog and they can identify them, they should report this to Environmental Health or the Police. The Dog Fouling (Scotland) Act 2003 has made it an offence not to clean up after your dog in any public place, with a fixed penalty of £80.

I suspect the police could get out this by saying this is civil matter due to it not being on public land, but saying that you could also try them but I reckon the police would only do something if this was a public area.

If I were you I would phone Environmental Services at South Lanarkshire Council.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I found this site Weenie this afternoon and filled in a form so maybe it will be taken further, I will wait and see, I already phoned our housing officer, as I said before but she went to her door ,but it just continued.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Putting under moan because I am with people who make work miserable for one reason or another, today si the first day of 5 this week for me. It's been arranged that once back home I will be going to the home to spend a few hours there before heading home to wash etc and head back to work.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Does striclty real need 45 min to say who won??

10 mins tops and sod off, then put a decent program on rather than it's had its day garbagge. :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l don't watch it full stop so l just go into the other room to watch something more to my liking.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

This is the first year we haven't watched it. It would be better with a Bruce Forsyth dummy than the current presentors.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My OH think they are too wooden and is also of the opinion that it was better with a man and a woman rather then having two woman which it has now.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I never watch it either and never watch any of the Simon Cowel shows, They are only full of bright lights and loud screaming and No talent

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Saturday and Sunday nights are full of garbage on TV.

The chase and pointless are now 6 days a week, gone are the once a week quiz we used to enjoy.

talentless show with people to aweful to even be let lose on holiday camp victims.

the one hour lottery show that should only be 5 mins tops.

The wee one has a hospital appointment today and could I find just one envelope to put his note in no I could not, long story short he went with just a piece of paper :mad:

I hated sending him to school with his note like this very unprofessional looking imo.

I have now looked in the kitchen drawer to see where they were and there they were but I swear they were not there when I looked this morning.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I enjoy Victoria on a Sunday ,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

It really is very strange in a house with out your dog, I knew I would miss him but it's really lonely here without him. I miss everything about having him the walks, meeting people while walking him and just the general chat's that I used to have with my fellow dog walkers.

It was just so sudden and I'm still questioning the what if's and did I miss anything, could I have did more, don't get me wrong I know we could not have and we did everything we could but it's just so horrible having these feelings.

What I can say I never realised is just how much time our Keane took up and the social life he actually gave me.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

It must be an empty feeling Weenie,Would you get another one?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Don't think so Nash, I used to say that I would eventually get a rescued or retired Grey hound but just don't think I will or could Nash tbh.

Yes the house is very empty without him now nash especially during the day. It's the little things I miss example sharing the morning biscuits with him as I still find myself taking two out the biscuit tin.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My nan died tonight. Feeling numb as Hell.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So sorry to hear about your Nan, Take Care

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My thoughts and condolences are with you Mark.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear that Mark. Our sincerest condolences.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Mark I'm so sorry to hear that your Nan passed away.

My only advice is not to put any pressure on yourself as everyone will grieve differently for your Nan. There is no right or wrong way, just what is right for you.

Mark to try and find support wherever you can.

Sending you lots of hugs and prayers of support at this difficult time, please accept my sincere condolences.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear this but I'm sure she wouldn't be wanting you to hurt. Her suffering has ended now and in time you'll be able to think about all the happy times without the pain you now feel. It's really important to offload at times like this so I hope you'll feel able to do this as it's a vital part of the healing process.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So sorry to hear your sad news Mark. Try to remember all the good times you shared with her when things seem to be getting too much to cope with over the coming days. As we have said in the past we are here for you if you need us.

<<hugs>>

It's my eldest son's birthday today and his birthday cards have not arrived despite ordering them from a well known online site for personalised birthday cards. I'm not too pleased let me tell you as I ordered them on Thursday.

Although he does not seem bothered as he still got his birthday money but I would have much preferred to put this in a card rather than hand it to him.

Really annoying Weenie

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yesterday would have been my Mum's wedding anniversary so my boy's and I bought a wreath and today when I went up to visit my Mum's grave the rabbits had eaten most of the flowers off it.

My eldest did give me a laugh when I was complaining about having to put the wreath in the bin, and how it never even lasted a day, then out the blue he said do you think they knew they were having a gourmet meal.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hubby got letter from HM Revenue & Customs and it was not a very nice letter Tax calculation for the year April 2016 to 5 April 2017. You have paid too little tax. You owe HMRC £xxx.xx :mad:

Hubby's work put the wrong tax code in, at least we don't have to pay it in the one go :) it will just get taking from his wages which is good.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

HMRC can be quite accommodating when genuine errors are involved. Just never cross them.

Idiots who crash on motorways.

My journey to work take 25-30 mins.

Well on monday thanks to some idiots it took 2-1/2 hours, so myself and several other arrived late.

Luckily we won't be docked wages.

But what annoys me is the amout of lane 2 & 3 hoggers there are, then there are those who don't have any lights on around sunrise/sunset.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Works Ok here what is your platform running on XP, windows 7/8/10.

Have you got CCleaner by Piriform. If not download the free version and then run the registry (2nd icon down) see if you have any issues. Then run the cleaner as well.

Then (TAKING NOTE your passwords and all your settings in the User CP try uninstalling and reinstall Cable Forum.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Wrong thread?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes they seem to be heero and tbh we could pay it if they requested the full amount but in the letter they have stated that they will automatically collect the tax by increasing the tax deducted from hubby's wages, salary or pension, usually in equal instalments for 12 months from next April.

This suits us as being Scottish were quite miserable when it comes to our savings ;) in fact I personally hate taken money from our rainy day fund and usually detest being in debt to anyone or anyone thing but this I don't mind owning or paying.

I personally think this is fair system due the fact that it was hubby's fault but as you say just never cross them :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My mum came to visit us, then moved on to see my dad's sister. While she was there she got a message that some local <beep>s had smashed in a back window and been through her bedroom. Her most expensive jewelry was with her but they may have stolen dad's gold watch and worse her camera with lots of pictures on from last holidays with Dad.

She is going back home today to see what's what and to get a VM upgrade. Not a good year losing dad, a grandson and now this.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

These people are utter **** tweetiepooh, I hope your Mum's camera and Dad's watch did not get taken as these items really are replaceable :hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

People who at me as if I have just grown two heads when I say that I don't do Facebook or snap-chat etc.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

This is a horrible thing to happen, especially losing precious personal thinks, We had it once years ago, The never get punished enough when they are caught, Sorry you have went through this,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

This sort of thing is truly awful. Hope she hasn't lost the most important things. :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry meant to write irreplaceable tweetiepooh as these items hold such sentimental value to your Mother.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Right thread ???

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

We had a man-with-a-van in this morning to take stuff from my late mothers house to the auction house and the dump including some big pictures that my parents had that I or my sisters don't want. Then we had to do dump run on our own with another dismantled bit of chipboard unit. Putting the wood in the skip we saw the pictures in there. So sad it's heart wrenching. :cry::cry::cry:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes, awful mate. Chin up. :tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Oh heero my heart is breaking for you and your sisters just remember the important things to keep are your memories that is how I carry on.

Although I will freely admit that one of my most treasured possession is my late Mothers perfume bottle that I rescued from a rubbish bag and every now and then I take it from my dressing table and just smell it.

Take care heero :hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I know the feeling, in some ways clearing out all my Nan's stuff felt like I was doing something I shouldn't. But we are nearly there, still got a couple of rooms to go though. Then the rigmarole of selling up.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks :tu:

Me and my older sister managed to break the final back of it this week with 5 runs to the dump, man-and-van (sob) and finally a removals van/trailer to get the decent stuff to our houses. She did forget about one glory hole with a selection of fur coats in it. I left that to her.

Mind you our place looks like a bomb just hit it. It took three crates and several shopping bags just to empty the fridge/freezer and food cabinets. A king size bed has taken over two rooms and my car is still half loaded.

Maybe it's the impetus we need to have a de-cluttering session.

Just a final vac over, last few things and hand over the keys. My sister will do this next week.

Now need to sort through things, remove duplicates and get yet more stuff down to re-cycling

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

People who use the last of something and never think of replacing it, sometimes I think my lot think a wee magic fairy comes in and does this. Another pet hate of mine is when someone puts a empty milk bottle back in the fridge :mad:

Take today for example I have replaced the soap and bubble bath in the bathroom and the kitchen roll in the kitchen.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

---------- Post added at 21:53 ---------- Previous post was at 20:12 ----------

Warning I'm having a rant.

Today I had lunch with my Dad this date was arranged last week.

The day was going well until he asked if I could take him to Dobbies garden center for a tree and I did this no problem once there I quite innocently asked where are you planting it Dad, in where he said I'm not your sister asked me to get it for her. Apparently he mentioned that we were going for lunch and going to a few garden centers then he openly said to me I was hoping you wouldn't ask that question.

Then I just said Dad how are you going to get it to her house and he said I'm not she is going to pick it up from mine then I said and how is it getting to your house he said via your car at this point I just laughed and said no way am I going to transport a tree for her in my new car and to be honest Dad I think the pair of you have a dam cheek expecting me transport a tree for her giving the fact that both of you know I want nothing to do with her and what makes it worse is the very underhanded way you both went about this.

I do think it is ironic that my sister and my Dad just a couple of months ago were having a pop at how there was no need for me to purchase such a big car blah blah blah and how I waste money, yet now that so called big car comes in handy. Oh it's such pity she will never know just how handy it is having such a vehicle.

The day's of me being used by them or should I say allowing myself to be used seem to be long gone I'm very proud to say!

I must say that I'm quite shocked as my Dad has just phoned and said how sorry he was but he did not see a problem and thought I wouldn't mind doing them this favour but with hindsight he can see that both of them should have asked if I was ok with this.

I don't think my father has ever said sorry in his entire life so I'm actually sitting here in complete shock. Hubby said it's because he is worried about his shopping tomorrow and tbh I don't really care the reason he apologised it's the fact that he admitted they should have asked and not expected.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

You're talking kids and partners aren't you... ;)

As regards making difficult decisions, I've decided that Osem Jnr # 2 will have to go into full time care when he finishes college. It's not that I don;t love him, it's because I've finally accepted that I/we can't look after him forever. We need our own lives and the sad truth is that we can't have that and be full time carers for him. It breaks my heart to admit it after all these years but I have done and nothing will change my mind now. :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Osem your posts about both your sons screams out just how much you love them and trust me this can be clearly seen by all.

I can only imagine the heart break at having to make such a difficult decision and it must be a catch 22. What do you for the best do you wait until you can no longer care for your son in where Osem Jnr #2 could be emotionally traumatised by losing everything at once and all that is familiar to him without you being there to offer your continued support, or do you do accept what is best for all.

Osem don't beat yourself up about this as you can still give emotional support.

Everyone concerned in Osem Jnr #2 life needs the peace of mind that he will be settled and content in full time care and I think you have made a very difficult decision out of love for your son.

Take care :ghugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Our twins are now 26, and I find myself spending so much of my time repeating instructions to get them to fend for themselves more and more. Some things they pick up after a while, but other skills seem beyond them. We are their full time carers as there are no other options available since all the cuts for austerity by HMG and councils. :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I know exactly how you feel Taf. It's a horrendous responsibility and it takes a great toll on you and everyone else in your life. Nobody could say you haven't done your best for them after all those years of caring. I wish you well. :tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Wish you both all the best... Nobody will or should not judge you both.
