Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I hate sofas - specifically our old ones which I decided to break up in order to salvage the hard wood framing inside. My God were those things put together well. I've never seen so many screws and staples, the latter ranging from the normal 1cm size for tacking fabric to countless really heavy duty wire staples getting on for 2 inches long. It took me over 4 hours and numerous cuts, scrapes and other wounds to reduce the first sofa to its component parts and before I can use the wood I still have to de-nail it. The second sofa has been stripped of its fabric, padding etc. but still needs disassembling. Knowing the quality of the Ross fabric and having seen the amount of work that went into making them, now I know 3 things a) why they cost £600 each over 20 years ago, b) why they lasted so long without so much as a squeak and c) I'll never do this again!!!

Throat very inflamed, cough and loss of voice led GP to prescribe me Amoxicillin 500mg, 3 x a day.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hopefully that should sort it out for you Mark.

Hope the antibiotics kick in soon Mark, take care.

Not sure I like the New Mythbusters without Kari:romance::romance::romance: :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Who's replacing her?

Jessi Combs is quite cute and stood in for Kari when she was on maternity leave and she can't half weld.

Getting better is great - not being allowed to do anything now THAT's getting right on my carrot.

I was just thinking this morning what a difference an illness can make to someones life in a short period of time. When I was working I used to have to make decisions on whether a customer had a valid complaint now my decisions seem to be will I have a tea or not :( Hopefully one day I will be able to return to work as what I find I miss the most is company. What has surprised me the most is people seem to judge me different now I am no longer working sad but true. I feel like shouting I'm not lazy I've worked most of my life the reason I'm not working at the moment is quite frankly none of your business Oh how I wish I had the guts to say that when they ask why are you no longer working or it's all right for some.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l hope you get back to work soon Weenie as you obviously enjoy it and please don't worry about the narrow minded prejudices of what some people think as remember little minds do think like that sadly.

l am glad you are getting better dilli but remember you have just had a serious operation so l think they are wise to tell you to take it one step at a time so just do things steadily for the meanwhile.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks den.

Dilli I agree with den and to take it easy after your operation better one step forward rather than two back.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Carrots are very good for you dilli. :D
I remember the feeling weenie and do sympathise with you.

I went from quite a high profile job to just being someone who sat around in hospitals listening to other people dictate how my medical condition meant my life had to change and HATED IT. I missed being part of a team, I missed having people around me who saw me and not the labels of 'wife' 'mother' , I felt as though the real me was now invisible.

So if someone is crass enough to ask why you are no longer working in a tone you don't like, or infer you are taking the easy option then bite their sodding heads off!!!!

Oh and enjoy your Anniversary break away from home. Fresh air and beautiful scenery are good for the soul. :)
