I would love a guy I work with to get lost.

He talk about people behind there back, including me.

Then made snide comments when I spoke to someone about him (in private), it turned out they were good friends.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

The flowers for valentines day never turned up, so pissed off and the online tracking says delivered!

Phone call needed in the morning and they better not give me hassle when i request a full refund.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Windows updates - relentless and nothing but trouble...

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Rotten luck :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Got it refunded this morning, but i will never order online again.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Support your local market flower seller, they look freezing and like they need the money !

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Interflora and the rest are not worth it. Find florist local to recipient and ask them to put a bouquet together to your budget, you will get bigger and better than the (inter)nationals unless you are very unlucky. The Interflora's have fixed catalogues at inflated prices - you do know what you will get though.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

May have been possible if i lived in a City, ended up getting 12 roses from the coop this morning.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Mine keep failing so I download the patch and manually apply after killing off the autoupdate processes (Win 10 Home 64 bit).

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

You get loads more on an Android based phone... pain in the rear end.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Had a great afternoon, I took my sisters kids and Nieces girfriend to lunch, came home and had fun on my Note 8's VR Gear.

A short while later my nieces girlfriend became unwell, she was due to fly back home today ay 9pm, but my sister went into mum mode and is currently in my local A&E.

My sister phoned he mum in Glasgow and of course she was upset.

But my sister will make sure she's fit to fly.

Mind you early next month to start here job as cabin crew for Thomas Cook.

Facebook updated on phone. It then took me about an hour to work out how to post. Why this fad of changing the interface just annoy the customers?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

People who have to go and stir trouble for the sake of it. Not shocked though, this person has it in for me. And I will only let him push me so far before I snap.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Mark just smile at them and remember that people who try and bring you down are already below you.

My motto is smile as this way it will either warm their heart or totally pee them off, either way you win :D

Trust me it's a amazing feeling, take control Mark and make your own rules (don't do what they expect you to do, do the unexpected take them by surprise for a change) do not do what they expect, if you do then more than likely your the one who will fall and they expect you to fall, if you snap they win and you look the fool, rise above them Mark and please trust me it's totally worth it!

Please Mark , trust me when I say do the unexpected it totally baffles them, I know because I do did this with my sister thorn in my side who I'm pleased to say is now an ex family member :)

Mark you know I will always have your back so please try this advice before snapping....

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Welcome back..your mellowness has been missed..Hope you stay around.

Apart from that I've got nothing.After the last 9 months I've had I'm ready to look on the bright side.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Worried about my lad (even though he's 26).

He's just moved to NZ for a year, after 2 years in Oz, and he was in South Island where Typhoon Gita hit over the last few days. They've declared a State of Emergency in the region where he is (Nelson).

I'm sure he's fine, but we just haven't heard from him for a few days (which happens frequently, as he goes camping with his mates), but not being sure isn't fun.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Doesn't matter the age - you never stop worrying about your kids.

Hopefully you'll hear from him shortly.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l hope and pray that contact is made soon Hugh as l suspect lines of communication will be pretty poor at the moment given the Typhoon aftermath and the State of Emergency.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hugh no matter the age of your children, they’ll always be little in your mind.

I hope you manage to contact your lad soon but as den has stated lines of communication will be pretty poor at the moment.

:hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope you here soon and it will put your mind at ease,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope you don't have to wait to much longer to hear, they're a constant worry no matter how old they get especially when you can't keep an eye on them

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

we got a message at 3.36 this morning - he’s fine.

They were blocked in by landslides, but a local farmer cleared the road.


My son said the winds were a bit ‘interesting’ at times, but all’s well that ends well - another experience for him.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Oh Hugh that is the best news ever :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thats good news. I worry about mine, even though he's only 20 miles away !

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My parents worry about me and l am the other side of half a century.:)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Great news, What a worry of your mind,

My moan is I have water leaking badly when I empty the water from my kitchen sink and it is under a cupboard, Waiting for the Plummer to arrive, More expense but it has to be done,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear about your leak nash as l hope it gets sorted ASAP.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Playing catch up and so glad that your son is safe and well Hugh.

Our son was caught up in the Manchester IRA bomb attack and not knowing whether he was safe was a nightmare so I really know what you must have been going through.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well, work was a disaster last night. Facing a disciplinary next week potentially. Oh dear. I won't go into details, apart from saying I am being blamed for equipment being broken when it wasn't me who broke it.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Don't let them blame you for something you did not do Mark as you must stand your ground next week and make it clear that you did not break the equipment.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My dad died on Tuesday:( gutted.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family Jefferson.

Oh dilli!!!!! I am so sorry, the photo of you together was so lovely, his personality shone through, both your smiles warmed my heart. My thoughts are with you and all the people who loved him and will miss him. <<hugs>>

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So sorry Dill, My thoughts are with you and all the family, Take Care

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

commiserations, dilli.

Big hugs

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Gutted for you :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Please accept our sincerest condolences on your loss. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time. :hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So sorry dilli.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear that Dilli

Please accept my deepest condolences dilli to all your family, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My mobile phone died last night, so looks like i will be taking out a contract for another phone for 2 years, not really happy about doing a contract but as i use it often for internet and Sat Nav i want a good 1.

The trouble is the S8 i was looking at is getting superseded by an S9 reveal later tonight.

Do you think the S8 will drop in price next week sometime?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Age matters not, My sister is 46, happily married 19 years with 2 grown up kids, she still worries about her.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hospital tomorrow and tomorrow is the day I find out on what they have planned if anything, mixed emotions tbh. Taking hubby in with me as I tend to forget what has been said in the room. I do know that things can't keep going on the way they have been lately :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Good luck for tomorrow weenie, I shall be thinking of you. <<hugs>>

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

When I was going to endless appointments with my son at hospital, I just pressed record on my mobile when seeing the consultant. A bit naughty but sure they wouldn't have minded, They tell you a lot in short space of time, and if you're stressed it's difficult to take it all in. Good luck.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks Jo and Mr K, hubby has written down some questions that he would like answered so hopefully tomorrow it will put his mind at rest as I know he very worried also.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Good Luck Weenie :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Today went good and the endoscopy is now definitely 100% being arranged with either deep sedation or GA and this time I have been assured that I won't know a thing :) which I'm delighted about tbh.

I have great faith in my gastroenterologist but he did make a comment that having my Gallbladder removed could also be causing myself problems.

We will just have to wait and see the outcome of the endoscopy to see for sure what is going on.

Sometimes it feels, it's one step forward and two steps back in regards to my health at times.

On the bright side today went good.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Glad today went ok :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope you get an early appointment and everything goes well weenie :hugs:

@ Dilli my deepest condolences :mis::sorry::hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Being thrown into the deep end in a new role last night at work with no training. Think I actually did well all things considered, with the store saying I was the best they'd had in that role and that I was more than welcome back the next time we did their store. So a moan, ending on a happy note.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

People who fart in enclosed spaces. I was in a lift earlier with an old guy and he let rip. I was green by the time we got to the floor i needed.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That is disgusting.

I know I would have gagged as I'm extremely squeamish which seems to amuse my two boy's and hubby especially when we drive past the farmers fields at certain times of the year.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

:D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I can better that.

1. People who sit themselves out from work because they feel ill, then instead of going to the toilet decide to be sick all over the floor of the training room then not tell anyone and leave it for them to find the next day.

2. Using members of your family to get out of trouble when it is all a lie.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Glad all went good for you Weenie ;)

Snow, Glasgow has ground to a halt

Attachment 27319

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Britain + Snow = catastrophe... more on the way for us Thursday night to Saturday...

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Even the gritters were stuck in Rutherglen at the bottom of our hill, dreadful weather I feel sorry for people you are stuck in their cars or walking home from work,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear about it nash as l know they issued a rare red warning for parts of Scotland so it must be pretty terrible up there ATM..

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

All trains and buses off in Glasgow until at least 10 am Snow day :D:D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

How big is that snowman of yours.:D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My Nieces girlfriend got home Monday after a 45 minute flight delay. Mind you she should have flown home 2 Fridays eairlier but was too ill to fly (and a trip to A&E).

But next Friday she is moving down here to start her new career as Cabin crew for Thomas Cook.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My brother has had a fall going to work this morning and has to go to hospital as he is in a lot of pain with his ankle.:(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sadly he is in plaster now as his foot is broken and he is out of action for 8 weeks and he only started his new job yesterday.:(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Work changing my job at the last minute and I wasn't going to confirm the new job because I hate the chain. But they confirmed it for me. Are they allowed to do that? I know I confirmed doing this Sunday for a different store, so they think that we will do this other job. But surely we can decide if we do this new one.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

It is the worse I have seen it for years, I have just been staying indoors as we have plenty food to keep us going, but it is a long day, Glasgows Grand Ole Opry is closed tonight and Saturday as it would be empty and the Bands cannot get their either, Just have to watch my country videos,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear this den I hope your brothers new employer understands and his job is safe. Fingers crossed all goes well :hugs:

Phone call from my GP yesterday and my blood test came back :(

I'm low in folic acid, hubby will pick up my prescription today. At least now I know the reason for feeling so tired etc as I honestly felt like a fake, I have no energy and for no reason at all my heart suddenly feels at times like it was going to come out my chest it beats so fast.

I hate this being ill and I can't believe just how much my life has changed since getting this horrid illness.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That is really a shame Den, Just as well we don't know what is in front of us, , Pain killers for him ,

---------- Post added at 16:37 ---------- Previous post was at 16:35 ----------

I hope you feel better soon Weenie, it must be getting you down,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

He phoned up the company but as of yet no one has contacted him but hopefully someone will contact him next week so then hopefully he will know where he stands

---------- Post added at 16:40 ---------- Previous post was at 16:37 ----------

Nothing fake about your illness weenie and at least your GP is on the ball with your health.

---------- Post added at 16:41 ---------- Previous post was at 16:40 ----------

As many of us know life can turn in a instance nash so my advice is to enjoy our lives as much as we can because one never knows what is around the corner.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Still no buses in many parts of the city because "there has not been enough traffic to make the grit work on bus routes".

But they are telling us not to make unnecessary road trips but to use public transport instead!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Paperwork- so much paperwork:(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

People who believe what they want to believe despite the proof before them, one can never win and the option I now choose for my own sanity is to rise above these challenges before me and not dwell on what I can't change :)

No point in arguing with someone whom has a closed mind and just seems incapable of seeing the facts before them!

I no longer get upset by this, I just pity their way of life especially when they wonder why my boy's have no time for them as they refuse to visit him that is something else I have accepted although very sad nothing I can do about it, I can only suggest as I do on many occasions that they come with me despite knowing what the answer will be and that is a polite no Mum.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Stay strong weenie. You have come so far and proved yourself to be a far stonger person than I suspect you ever imagined.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes I have Jo, in fact just yesterday hubby said that I no longer need someone speaking for me and he is so very proud on the way I have handled things and admires me in taking advice in where I found the strength within me, the way I have changed totally benefits me and mine and maybe I should I have taken these steps long ago but I can't change what's been done, the past is the past and as I have been told it is ok to glance back but just glance and don't dwell on it believe me this was the best advice given.

My sister is telling my Dad that she thinks I'm acting up and using my illness while this may have bothered me to the point of being totally miserable and crying. Where as I'm now at the point of actually laughing at how bizarre her views are along with the fact my Dad either believing them or having doubt on what I'm saying but that is not my problem as I can't change what he chooses to believe.

What I just do not understand how they think even I can fake blood tests, mri scan, crp level etc.

All I'm saying I must be far smarter than I realised LOL plus if she thinks this will either guilt trip me into jumping when jump is shouted or withdrawing myself from my Dad and jeopardising the relationship we now have then she will be disappointed on both accounts. The day's of me jumping for any ones attention are long gone I'm pleased to say.

The problem here is I now say no to my Dad which now put's pressure on her to either do or don't.

My Dad has now accepted the new me something I don't think she can as you know I have totally blocked her out my life and that is the problem she can no longer use her tried and tested variety of manipulation techniques any longer with me and I truly believe that is the real problem not me being ill, plus she knows nothing about me or mine the only thing she knows about me and my family is what my Dad chooses to tell her and trust me I only let my Dad know things now on a need to know basis and have done for a number of months now.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

@weenie. You are officially my new hero.

My moan is that I have finally had to accept that I can not control what is happening. I know that people are doing their utmost to help me but darn grinnit I need to to know what is happening and feeling left in the dark is soooooooo frustrating.

OK winge over, normal services will be resumed as soon as possible. Hopefully.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

@ weenie too..

That's the downside to invisible illnesses. You get taken on appearances only. It doesn't matter what you tell people they just can not or will not understand what you're going through. More often than not you put on a brave face to the outside world and even to those close to you which always seems to get misinterpreted as well. The more it happens to more you distant yourself and the more annoyed you end up.

Which kind of relates to one of my own moans. As my weight went down to 7st 10lb (40 something male) I've had to live on Calshakes, Fresubins, Vital 1.5kcals, Ensures etc, and I've managed to increase my weight a little. Now I've been told I look well even though nothing has changed medically nor the way I feel and it is really frustrating. Sometimes I just feel more acceptable and justifiable when I was 7st.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Being put in charge of a sub team, and then have one member of the team ignore every single thing I tell him.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

@ Jo thank you and I hope things improve for you soon and your back to your usual self.

@ peanut so true and it's amazing on how were judged on appearance don't you think!

It shames me to say that I think I may have been guilty of that myself once upon a time.

Working tomorrow, and not looking forward to it. First Mother's Day since my Nan died last year. Hoping that nobody tries pushing my buttons, because I will be low tomorrow.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well, that's going to be a possibility. Manager for today has changed, and it's one who talks down to me like I'm thick. Real possibility I will be walking out today.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So ashamed of myself. Made a serious mess yesterday at work, and got in today to be told that I am now banned from 2 accounts, which means I am only working Wednesday this week. I hold my hands up about making errors, but banning me completely from the accounts when there is far worse going on in these accounts seems a bit too harsh. Still, I can only accept my punishment like a man and hope they let me back on them soon.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Mark don't blame yourself too much your head was all over the place yesterday for obvious reasons.

Take care Mark and try and not worry about this as your past work record will show that this is totally out you character :hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So called 'charity' workers who blockade the High St., insisting you sign up to a Direct Debit! If they believed in their charities they wouldn't take commission for everyone they sign up, and would be doing it for free ! Where does their commission come from ? Your direct debit... Not to mention the absurd amount of charity bags that come through the door , only a minute fraction of proceeds go to charity. Give any clothes direct to a shop.

Charities really need to sort their act out, they are vital and do worthwhile things, but the public are going to turn their backs if they're not careful.

Grumpy old man rant over....

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

They aren't badly paid either, doubt any of them are on less than 10 quid an hour. If you want to annoy them stand about near where they're 'working', then you'll see a different rather uncharitable side

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

At least you can see them and keep a distance. It's the ones that the supermarkets allow to camp out in their entrances so you have to run the gauntlet. Next time it happens I'm going to send a complaint into their HQ.

Oh I so agree with you. As a well known member on here has been heard to say in the past, "He grates my carrot". Just seeing him makes me cringe and he has the ability to spoil anything he appears in.

My moan is being restricted in where I am allowed to go and who I can see. I am back in my sterile bubble and I hate it. I am going stir crazy. This had better be worth all the effort!!

Going to be so quiet for the next 3 months, my sister flew to France today to start her new job. It's got potential to extend to a 6 month contract. Will miss her a lot.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I think my neighbour has totally lost the plot as today she was caught looking in our bins after they were emptied and no she could not have thought they were her bins as they were at the bottom of my driveway.

What a weird woman she is, I just wish she would stop being so focused on my household.

She has done this in the past and I'm at a total loss of her interest in our bins as it totally beats me, I mean why look in someones bins I just cannot work out her reason in doing this.
