Oooh whats this for Coastie.
Is it for Seaside rescue?:thumbsup:
Yes...I don't mind them using my radio transmissions n stuff but I hate having the camera thrust in my face and being asked to talk about a particular job I was invovled in...I hate it.....I have no qualms about doing fun stuff on TV but when it comes to talking about serious stuff I want the world to open up and swallow me.... :blush:

DYJHIW...


you get hit in the face with a frisbee thrown at speed!

laugh! I nearly cried!

I was sitting there at a large works BBQ picnic on Saturday evening minding my own business when suddenly out of nowhere comes this frisbee at about 100mph ... I kid you not!!

Wham! straight into my forehead! I know it must have looked funny, but it f**king well hurt! I was very ungracious to the poor boy who'd thrown it(obviously he was completey innocent of any malice!) and later felt so guilty about not accepting his apology with good grace that I went over and apologised to him!!

...and I've had a head ache ever since ... and it wasnt' the beer (I ony had three!).

I was glad Max's husband wasn't there ... he would have laughed the loudest and demanded a replay for the video so he could send it off to Jeremy Beadle!!!

Sorry Dol...but:

LOL! :laugh:

:shutup: Do you have a bump? :shutup:

Awww Dol I sympathise! I was hit with a football on the back of the head last season and it knocked me for 6, I did cry!

Hope your headache goes soon! :hug:

Aww Dol, that's as good as my mate getting hit by a skateboard at Glastonbury:laugh:

Hope your feeling better soon:hug:

Aww Dol, that's as good as my mate getting hit by a skateboard at Glastonbury:laugh:

Hope your feeling better soon:hug:


Oo did you just slip your sympathetic hat on for a moment there Andrea? :mellow:

I would love to share all of your's concern but I am still to busy laughing....

Feeling slightly guilty at my hilarity at Dol's discomfort but it really has tickled me...

Dol..the next round is on me! :laugh:

it's Ok you can laugh! i am now trotting out the story as an amusing little anecdote to any poor soul that gets in my path! i get the feeling I may get hit in the head again... only this time it wont be an accident!


DYJHIW....

you get up late and you STILL come on here in the morning even though you're late!

DYJHIW you ring the council and have prepared what you want to say, and all the planning officers are in a meeting:mad2:

DYJHIW reading the thread about Jacques Chirac and Michael Jackson makes your blood boil. Oh well maybe I don't hate it, but I do get passionate about that kind of stuff, and it stays with me for a good hour or so! :laugh:

... when you buy a can of "The World's No 1 Deodorizer"* for your downstairs toilet, excitedly spray it for the first time, only to find it smells worse than the pong you're trying to cover up.


*Neutradol.

I love Neutradol, SF. It's the only one I've ever found that actually smells stronger than the offending pong. We started using it when young Master P was a baby and the smell brings back very fond memories. :wub: I find it works very well on big boy smells too.

I just found it too overpowering. I have since replaced it with a can of Dettol Neutra-Air - I find that far more pleasing, it has a slightly antiseptic clean fragrance that is just what I was after.

DYJHIW you finally get through to a planning officer at the council, and they say they can't help you, then you proceed to get passed to nearly every department in the building until someone actually knows who you need. And that department isn't actually anything to do with the council:mad2:

Your boss is in all day tomorrow, so it looks like it will be a busy one !!

You have an admirer .... who you dont want :mellow:

Oh yes, can be very tricky!! Kinda nice in a way though, as long as they're not creepy.

DYJHIW - ntl cock up again :ranting:

Oh yes, can be very tricky!! Kinda nice in a way though, as long as they're not creepy.

He is :ninja:

DYJHIW - You seem to be the only one posting...it makes me seem ever so gobby and of course I'm not...I am a quiet little mouse who barely squeaks normally!

DYJHIW your daughters are hurting, at loggerheads because of the manipulative, sh*tstirring, control-freak boyfriend of one of them, who has been slyly coming between them and has always managed to stay clean thus far but is now shown by a series of events to be dirty... and all my loved ones are in pain... and the easiest and most satisfying thing in the world for me would be to hurt him, but I'm having to sit here and restrain myself from violence because that would only make everything much worse....

and breathe...

dab you could always start a thread about it. It might be therapeutic you know...:hug:

I'm sure you know all too well that girls won't listen to what they don't want to hear when it comes to boyfriends. All you can do is what you are doing. Stay out of it and wait for her to realise what an arsehole he is. And then pick up the pieces.........

You're right, Patsy.

DYJHIW your daughters are hurting, at loggerheads because of the manipulative, sh*tstirring, control-freak boyfriend of one of them, who has been slyly coming between them and has always managed to stay clean thus far but is now shown by a series of events to be dirty... and all my loved ones are in pain... and the easiest and most satisfying thing in the world for me would be to hurt him, but I'm having to sit here and restrain myself from violence because that would only make everything much worse....

you have really frighteningly violent tendencies sometimes dont' you Dab?

you have really frighteningly violent tendencies sometimes dont' you Dab?

I suppose so, Dol. It's what you do or don't do with them that counts, though, isn't it?

I suppose so, Dol. It's what you do or don't do with them that counts, though, isn't it?

I know what I'm like now if I find out someone has upset one of my boys. If and when one of them gets hurt by a girl, I'm sure I'd have violent thoughts too. Doesn't mean I'd actually follow it through, though. Could you honestly say you wouldn't Dol?

Or do you think we should chill? :ninja: :wink2:

DYJHIW you have a project coming up that you were really looking forward to, and then you find out that one of the contacts at the client is an ex-boyfriend who you split up with very acrimoniously. :sad:

I feel sick, and there is no-one else who can do the project. :cry:

Or do you think we should chill? :ninja: :wink2:

Blow it out your ass lady!

I think you should stop taking the pi$$ out of me cos I said people should chill in an earlier post when quite frankly people should have chilled ... but hey ho!

Would I feel violence to some girl who upset my son? No I wouldn't but I would want to support my son in other ways. When you're young you meet people outside of your circle who upset you, that's life, get on with it, learn from it and CHILL!

Hey, Dol, as I started this particular strain and was also involved in the earlier "need to chill" thing, I'd like to respond in the hope that two of my friends don't fall out, here.

That "chill" thing happened when a number of us became uneasy about the identity of a new member. It was only a week or so after someone had been banned for attacking people viciously, and had returned under several different names to continue those attacks. The new member sounded very savvy, and we probed him a bit to see if it was the other guy come back for more. It wasn't. There were no mods onboard at the time, but we sorted it out very quickly after only a handful of posts and a couple of PMs, and found a new friend.

The stuff going on in my family isn't about teenage spats. I'm not going to spell it all out here, but it involves the 25 year old boyfriend of one of my young adult daughters who has spent the last six months or so creating a serious rift within my family - and engineering the exclusion of my 17 year old youngest in particular. It's bloody unpleasant and, yes, I'd like to kick his head in. I won't, of course, because I'm not a caveman, but I found it therapeutic to spout my frustration here last night.

Oh Dab. Big hugs for you. :hug: It's horrible when someone comes in a tries to make a rift in your family. Hang in there, these kind of situations generally do come to an end, as long as there is a lot of love, acceptance and support for all the family members involved. :) (Well I'd like to think it would)

I think you should stop taking the pi$$ out of me cos I said people should chill in an earlier post when quite frankly people should have chilled ... but hey ho!

Dol, I explained all that to you in Portsmouth and thought you understood. As for taking the pi$$. I would rather see it as a light-hearted comment, delivered with fondness, as that is how it was meant.

If I was a more forthright person, who regularly took the pi$$ out of people and didn't think about the consequences, I would probably not worry about this.

But, as you say, hey hol!

Your mobile phone is buggered, and O2 wont help you out :ranting: So, even though my phone is only 7 months old, i think i have to spend about £130 getting a new one !!!

DYJHIW you smell burning and think "what on earth are the builders doing next door"

Then you realise you've got some eggs on the stove boiling away, although they weren't boiling when I just went to them, they had boiled dry, oops:ninja:
Do you think they are still edible?

Do you think they are still edible?

That depends. Are they young, buff and bronzed labourers, or crinkly old artisans?

Do you think they are still edible?

They should be, A. Make sure you shell them first though.

Lol Dab, unfortunately they are of the second description you so eloquently described:laugh:

DYJHIW - you have to go to work today :cry:

DYJHIW people give you lack of information :sad:
I'm going on hold with my parents to France and my nephew expressed an interest in coming too but wasn't sure, so I rang up Brittany ferries and asked them if it would be more money to add him than take him off, they said add him. So I wanted to check out with my sis and all the family that the dates we had arranged were good and last weekend we got together and finally decided and got the online quote.
This week's been a busy one and I didn't get around to booking it until this morning. When it came to the quote it's £91 more than the last one. I just phoned Brittany ferries who informed me that the prices went up on Monday.
You'd think that the person I spoke to last weekend would have told me this :ranting: I'm really annoyed. Annoyed with them for not telling me and annoyed with myself for not doing the booking as soon as I got home last Sunday

AWW bob that is awful :mad: no wonder you are angry!


dyjhiw - there is still over an hour to go before you can go home!

AWW bob that is awful :mad: no wonder you are angry!



Yes it's poo of the highest order. I've been fuming all day, usually it's good to take your anger out on someone, I did think about blaming my sister for throwing her son into the equation, if she hadn't I wouldn't have dithered so much, but then I can't blame my wonderful sis as it's her house we are staying in and we do get a discount on the ferry anyway becasue she is a club member. The person mostly to blame is myself, becasue I should have made the booking last Sunday, so I've been doing this :wallbash: a lot today.
but still angry, so I'm going to write to Brittany ferries for not making it clear when the prices went up. Even if I don't get a discount (not at all hopeful) I'll feel beter for geeting my fustration down on paper :boxing:

DYJHW you're in the mood and no one else is on line.... :bored:

I'm in the mood Max. Coooeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Your mobile phone is buggered, and O2 wont help you out :ranting: So, even though my phone is only 7 months old, i think i have to spend about £130 getting a new one !!!


Bonnie a phone shouldn't be knackered after 7 months. PM me some details and I will ask Mr C (a Trading Standards Officer) what you should do.

Thats Ceri. Will do.

DYJHIW its Monday morning .... god i hate Mondays :bored:

DYJHIW - you can't get motivated :ranting:

DYJHIW the sun is starting to come out. :ranting:

DYJHIW you attempt a quick leg shave in the morning so you can wear a skirt to work and manage to cut yourself and have to wear trousers after all.

Ouch Maxine :mellow:

DYJHIW on Saturday i bought a gorgeous skirt - its THE perfect gypsey skirt for summer. So i got it, brought it home and the zip was knackered. Totally gone - you couldnt zip it up or down. I managed to try it on, and it fit perfectly.

So i went back in the shop today - and they have completely sold out - and wont be getting more in.

So i had to make a decision. Get my money back, or get it mended. I opted to get it mended. The shop refunded me £4 which wasnt very much as the repair was £12. Still, at least in a weeks time i get my skirt back and can start wearing it.

I know exactly what you mean Bons. It's so disappointing. Why don't you take it further and tell the shop how much the repair cost and pursue the difference. Could be worth a try. You can bet they've still made a profit.

Your boss is being an arsehole :ninja:

DYJHIW.....


... someone you thought wasn't a complete tosser leaves you with no other conclusion other than that you were wrong!

(I can only conclude the hot weather is getting to some of my esteemed colleagues!! :cool2: )

Yes, I hate that one too, Dol.

Yes, I hate that one too, Dol.

oh I didn't know you worked.

Dolly Bird....are you having problems at work?

Dolly Bird....are you having problems at work?

nothing I can't handle! sometimes you just feel like you're being got at for the sake of someone else's problems. Still it will all come out in the wash!

talking of wash and to get back on topic:

DYJHIW .....

your washing machine breaks down! I was hand washing all weekend. The man is coming to fix it tomorrow so I will have a load to do ... and then even worse a load of ironing! :laugh:

DYJHIW - you clip a bit off one of your teeth :shocking:

DYJHIW people chuck around idle threats? :huh:

DYJHIW you're 13 year old daughter gets sent home from a school trip for drinking vodka. :sad:

DYJHIW you're 13 year old daughter gets sent home from a school trip for drinking vodka. :sad:


Teenagers - don't you just love em :ohmy:


DYJHIW - it is a beautiful day and you have to spend the morning stuck in a stuffy office!

DYJHIW you're 13 year old daughter gets sent home from a school trip for drinking vodka. :sad:

Dont be too harsh Max, we've all done it! :cool2:

DYJHIW you're 13 year old daughter gets sent home from a school trip for drinking vodka. :sad:

I agree with Groucho Max, it's all part of growing up unfortunately. :)

Oh, Gawd I am just dreading the teenage years! :ohmy:

You phone a few hairdressers to see how much a cut and colour would be where i work, and it going to be approx £100 !!!!!!! I think im better off travelling back to essex and having it done by my old mobile hairdresser in her house and paying £45. Even with petrol it will still be cheaper, and at least i know it will look ok.

You thought you were getting paid tomorrow - but in fact its next Thurs :shocking:

You have got to go out and meet your son's new teacher at his middle school and what you really wanna do is open and beer and stay here.. :wallbash:

DYJHIW.... your posting average has whizzed up to 4.72 per day! (high for me)
I don't think it was much higher than that in my heyday of the first survivor series!!

must must must get a life!!!!

Try 32.91...... :blush:

Try 32.91...... :blush:

it will plateau out soon enough! we all do eventually! :)

Where do you find out your posting average?

I'm sure my will be low:wink2:

Yours is 12.16 Andrea (you will find it in your profile)

Yours is 12.16 Andrea (you will find it in your profile)

Ooooh:blush: Thanks ils I've found it.

back to work I'm afraid....



DYJHIW...

they don't put old war horses out to grass! :ranting: honestly i work with this bloke who is very nice, but so so so ****ing slow that it does my head in!!! trouble is cos I'm so two faced the more annoyed I get with him the nicer and sweeter natured I am towards him cos I feel sorry for him for being such a nice bloke and working with such a crotchety witch as myself! but when all is said and done he is an old duffer who is well past his sell by date.

Do you think I (or you) will know when we are past our sell by date? ... probably not!

....you find three dark hairs on your chinny chin chin!!!

(you dirty dirty girl!)

DYJHIW you've chosen cowboy builders to do your drive - it's so depressing picking the wrong people. I'm waiting for them to arive this morning and ask for more money so I can tell them they're not having any till the job's finished. I've got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Awwww I feel for you Max :hug:


I know what it is like to have to deal with cowboy builders!


DYJHIW - you change the monitors over on your son's computer and it doesn't work! So you have to change it back :ranting:

Aww. Max, it's not fair is it? :hug: I mean why should you be feeling ill, you are doing the right thing but I know what you mean. You just don't know what kind of reaction they will give, but you stand up to them, don't let them walk over you. And you let as many people as possible know about them and how rubbish they are! You could always report them to Trading Standard! ;)

How aggravating for you Max. :angry: I just really can't understand how people can do things like that, and their conscience not bother them.

DYJHIW Mr tiggs is in Southampton today and you could really use him home. :cry:

When your hairdresser says she can book you in for a hair doo next wednesday. Because i have to travel back to essex i booked the day off - and when i text her to confirm she said "sorry mate, i meant tues" :devil: I cant do Tuesday - and i was really looking forward to some time off :blink:

DYJHIW - you lose one of the backs off your favourite pair of earrings :cry:

DYJHIW you book a hotel room in France and stupidly forget to either print the confirmation or take a note of the number:rolleyes:


and they haven't answered your email about it yet!

DYJHIW - you now have a huge lump on your head :cry:

DYJHIW Your poor auld sister is majorly unwell. She had what they call 'a bleed into the brain' at a bbq at the weekend and underwent 3 hours brain surgery to 'clip' the anurisms.....


The docs say the operation was a success, and her recovery should be total.

very sad and worried at the mo though....:cry:

Sorry to hear that Tigereye, I wish you all the best for both of you. :hug:

Thoughts and prayers for your sister TE - and for you and all the family. :hug:

Awww TE, I am so sorry to hear about your sister. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this worrying time :hug:

thanks guys. am off shortly to the hospital. talk to yez later...

Aww, that's rotten TE. Your poor sis. This happened to a friend of mine a few months ago and she's fully recovered now, so keep your chin up.

I'm sure your sister will be fine, TE, but it is a worrying time for you. Love and hugs to the whole family.

I'll be thinking about you TE and hope that your sister will make a full recovery! :hug:

just back. She's groggy and morphined out of it, but they're pleased with her so we feel a little better about things....

even through the haze though she still has a wicked sense of humour which also cheered us up!! :thumbsup:

wait and see time now.....

even through the haze though she still has a wicked sense of humour which also cheered us up!! :thumbsup:


Obviously runs in the family TE! :) Fingers crossed you'll get the news you want!

Tiger....thinking of you and yours at the moment. Hope all goes well.

DYJHIW the poxy weather funks up the TV reception :angry:

I'm getting a fuzzy BB with no sound and I taped cutting it tonight and it was fine for the first 50 mins, but then it went all fuzzy, not fair!

Just read about your sis TE, wishing her a full and speedy recovery...and sending you lots of cyberhugs.

M XXXX

HI Tiger Eye - I just read about your sister - I hope everything went well - and my best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Tigereye, sorry to hear about your sis, must have been a bit of a shock, serious stuff.
Hoping she recovers well and big hugs being sent to the lot of you :hug:

Aww sorry to hear about your sis TE, it's good things are looking positve, keep that thought in your head, best wishes to your sis

TE - woah chick, that was serious news wasn't it - gosh I bet you've all been as worried as warts? Much love for a successful and full recovery for Sister Tigereye.

My thoughts are with you and your family TE.

You ask your husband if he would buy you a cheap new mobile with a camera as he has a Link shop near his work.

So i print out a few i like - all around the £100 mark.

And what does he do ??? He goes and buys a £270 phone - and in his text says i can pay him back bit by bit :shutup: Im going to be skint forever !!!!

DYJHIW - your eczema is really bad!

and in his text says i can pay him back bit by bit :shutup: Im going to be skint forever !!!!

Are you sure he meant money, Bons? :devil:

Are you sure he meant money, Bons? :devil:

Unfortunately he did yes :ninja:

Bummer.....

DYJHIW - You pick up your car keys instead of your door keys and so lock yourself out...only to find that your mum who keeps a spare set of keys is out ......you then drive to work without all the essentials...diary, mobile, locker key, dive mag etc and call mum only to find she isn't answering either of her phones.....Sleep Deprivation has alot to answer for! :sad: :cry:

A little tip Coastie, put a door key on your car keys keyring!

DYJHIW......

other half goes out for a couple of hours so you snatch up the remote and think you can have a couple of hours of Big Brother live without him moaning about what rubbish it is ....... then you find the TV doesn't work any more :cry:

Also

DYJHIW...

you go out fully intending to get a cheap TV and come back with an expensive wide screen flat panel thing because the salesman tells you that you will need digital TV or something :ohmy: . And no, I am not bragging. I think it's horrible and ugly (nice picture though - all the better to see you with Big Brother - hahahaha)

A little tip Coastie, put a door key on your car keys keyring!

That's just it....I only use my car for work and so don't like having to carry my car keys around unnecessarily hence I keep them seperate....the problem tonight was...

1) Sleep Deprivation.
2) I was going to dump my bag in the car before going to the shops before changing my mind at the last moment forgetting that my keys were in the bag.
3) I am a numpty....and numpties are allowed to have their moments...and this is the first time in 2.5yrs I have locked myself out so that's not a bad record considering my mind has been scrambled the last few days! :wacko:

Your in a 'cant be bothered' mood - and it doesnt help that im not busy at work, my boss is in so i have to look busy - and Mr.B is at home.

DYJHIW - you realise it has just rained on your washing, I never noticed it was raining as the sun is out as well!

DYJHIW - when every traffic light turns to red as you approach it :ranting:

DYJHIW - Your orange attacks your white shirt! :mellow:

DYJHIW - you lose your mobile phone on the train & your insurance company wants a crime reference number but the police won't give you a crime reference number cos no crime has been committed but the insurance company won't progress the claim without one & the police don't want to know........AAARRRGH! :wallbash:

Aww that's the pits Jaycee, I hope you get it sorted out soon :hug:


DYJHIW - you have a headache that just won't go! :wallbash:

The insurance company should be content with a lost property number from the police. This is how it used to work.

DYJHIW - you still have a headache :cry:

DYJHIW - you still have a headache :cry:

I told you not to clean the oven without good ventilation ILS! :glare:

Oh ILS, hope you feel better soon. :hug:

DYJHIW - Your TV is playing up...it has a lose connection and I keep losing the sound and or picture.....:sad:

(there seems to be a TV Gremlin going round at the moment - nearly everybody I know has had TV problems! Is it a conspiracy to get us all to go out and buy these new digital things?)


DYJHIW.....

your other half volunteers you to do things on the computer, i.e. selling stuff on ebay for a friend (I hate all the faffing about from start to finish - setting it all up, scanning in photos, watching, waiting, sending out the emails, arranging the postage/collection - boring enough when it's for yourself!! Plus he had no idea that they charge commission - duh). Also, makes statements like "Oh my wife will do a copy of that for you" :ranting:

You've already had your lunch and cant go out again - and ive forgotten to go to the bank ... and i needed to go desperately :huh: How can i sneak out of this office without being seen :unsure:

(there seems to be a TV Gremlin going round at the moment - nearly everybody I know has had TV problems! Is it a conspiracy to get us all to go out and buy these new digital things?)

Your colleague doesnt turn up to work as she is feeling a tad tired :huh: Blimey :blink:

I was quite looking forward to today - but now i will have two advisors to look after, and i cant be bothered on a Friday !!!

.....when your mum phones to tell you that your 94 year old nana has been taken into hospital as she has fallen and twisted her ankle! Poor thing is in plaster up to her knee.

She is still in good spirits though but is not too happy with the staff as they are refusing to let her home!

The sad thing is, is that I can't get through to visit her this afternoon and we are off on holiday tomorrow. :(

Awwww im so sorry to hear that Bella, i wish her a speedy recovery.

My Grandma had an accident last year and broke her arm, she is 98. The silly banana was clearing out the spare room, and climbing over furniture when she slipped and fell.

I wish her well.

Thanks Bonnie! :wink_kiss

My nana was trying to tidy up before her home-help came in, I ask you!!! I hope that I have her stamina when I am her age! :laugh:

Best wishes to your Nana, Bella.

DYJHIW you go to Brands Hatch to watch your brother racing, he has a fantastic start, then someone spins in front of him on the first bed and he goes into him and is out of the race...... :cry:

Hope he's okay, Patsy?

.....when your mum phones to tell you that your 94 year old nana has been taken into hospital as she has fallen and twisted her ankle! Poor thing is in plaster up to her knee.


Aww, poor thing. They get so fragile at that age.

Hope she recovers soon, but glad to hear she is in good spirits.

Hope he's okay, Patsy?

He's fine, thanks Dab. Car and wallet severely dented, but no-one hurt. Boys and their expensive toys. What're you gonna do?

DYJHIW all you hear on the weather reports is how scorching its been all over the country, apart from where you live :mad2:

DYJHIW all you hear on the weather reports is how scorching its been all over the country, apart from where you live :mad2:

Snigger - its lovely in Suffolk Andrea and has been scorching since Friday :laugh:

DYJHIW you forget to set your wake up alarm :blush: Mr.B gets up at 5:50am, and when he gets out of bed i reset the alarm to 7:20 - but this morning i forgot and i woke up at 8:20, 10 mins before i have to leave for work !!!

I feel wrecked :wacko:

DYJHIW - you find out the UK has had a heatwave, when where you have been have had thunderstorms :cry:

DYJHIW - you find out the UK has had a heatwave, when where you have been have had thunderstorms :cry:

Aww it's nice to see I'm not the only one missing out.

Me again !!!!!


DYJHIW your colleague is leaving the company :wink2: She started at the same time as me, and i love her to death. She has become a firm friend in a short period of time .... and now she is going to pastures new, which i cant blame her for as she is treated like a dogs body around here.

DYJHIW your youngest is crying because his "tummy hurts" and there's not alot you can do until he either pukes up or something comes out the other end.:sad:

Awwwww poor little man :hug: I hope he feels better soon Andrea...

DYJHIW - you have cut your finger and it is really, really sore :sad:

DYJHIW.... your rabbit dies. Bless her, she was never much fun but she was sweet and liked the occasional cuddle. I shall miss her. :sad: :cry:

DYJHIW.... your rabbit dies. Bless her, she was never much fun but she was sweet and liked the occasional cuddle. I shall miss her. :sad: :cry:

Aww Dol, big hugs to you:hug:


Awwwww poor little man :hug: I hope he feels better soon Andrea...


He soon got better when we went to the park, running around all over the place:laugh: But there definately was something wrong, he does moan alot but not usually like this.

DYJHIW.... your rabbit dies. Bless her, she was never much fun but she was sweet and liked the occasional cuddle. I shall miss her. :sad: :cry:


Awww Dol :hug:

I am really sorry to hear that she has died, she was gorgeous..

DYJHIW.... your rabbit dies. Bless her, she was never much fun but she was sweet and liked the occasional cuddle. I shall miss her. :sad: :cry:

Awwww im sorry to hear that Dol :sad:

On a flippant note, i kinda wish mine would snuff it - i hate cleaning her out as she bites me :wink2:

Oh god, its me again !!!!

DYJHIW your boss is an ****.

Basically this morning i was sat in the car park at work having a fag when a BT van parked in there. He got out, came over to me and asked if he could park there. I said he couldnt really as we had two more people coming to park, and they would be there any minute. I then recognised him vaguely. He is someone who drinks down the local pub occasionally.

So i said it should be fine for him to park there so long as he didnt block the boss in. Anyway - the other two girls arrived, parked in their spaces and he slid in behind them. He said he would be gone in about 2hrs - so i didnt see the problem. We never get any guests park there, and we were all in for the day and werent moving - PLUS he was leaving in 2 hrs time.

But when i got into the office the boss had a bit of a go at me, telling me i shouldnt of let him park there. I asked what the problem was - as he wasnt causing any hassle for him (he could go in and out at his leisure) and he would be gone before any of us girls needed to move. But the boss kept on about private property and he should of parked in the public car park :bored:

I tell you - the man asked permission, and i said ok. Is it really a big deal to do someone, anyone a favour ? It isnt hurting anyone. Anyway - i now feel like poo.

Ahhhhhh...poor you.Your boss is so mean! You should'nt feel bad, in fact you should be delighted with yourself for doing somebody a good turn.
It's your boss who should crawl back under his stone.
You would think he would be delighted to have such accomodating staff, adn pat you on the back or soemthing, but Oh no! Grrr.
If he is small minded enough to worry about such trivialities when the world is in a state of chassis!!!!!! then HE is the one with the issues and I would'nt worry about him at all.
Well done for giving the postal guy a break...and BOO to the boss!
:-))

It seems to be 'pick on Bonnie' day today. Everything he can pick on he has picked on. Do you think i would get the sack if i punched him :blink:

Do you think i would get the sack if i punched him :blink:

Unfortunately I think you would :ranting:

Unfortunately I think you would :ranting:

Hmmmm, thats a shame !!!! I feel so peed off today - i even bought the job paper and brazenly read it in front of him :laugh:

You can bet that if your boss had been the one sitting in the car park and the BT guy had asked him permission, he would have given it, albeit grudgingly. It's a power thing. Tw@t. Is he short? :bag:

Is he short? :bag:

Hmmm, not really - but he is FAT. He must weight about 35 stone.

He was reading the riot act with me earlier - and his breath was vile. Maybe i should of offered him a stick of chewing gum !!!

I dont know what his problem is, but according to him today my filing, the way i have organised the other bosses desk, the fact he has forgotten his password ... EVERYTHING has been my fault. He keeps beckoning me over like a dog, clicking his fingers. Im suprised he hasnt patted my head and offered me a Bonio yet.

LOL Bonnie :laugh:

Maybe you should start barking like a dog every time he gives you an order.....If nothing else it will convince him you are barmy and he should be afraid...very afraid!

DYJLIW - you are a little bit burnt .....

Don't you just hate it: when you go for a lovely quiet walk along the wide open beach and a seagull shi-ts on you, i mean he has all that space but no he has to poo on you. :ranting:

it's lucky Bridge! I wish a seagull would sh it on me sometime soon!

DYJHIW someone ruins your full house:wink_kiss

Don't you just hate it: when your mother in law is RIGHT!! :shock:

going to a conference tom morning, thought I would get a lie in and then go, just found out registration is at 8.45 and a distance from here.:pooh:

DYJHIW you thought hubby was coming out of hospital tonight and when you get there, he says he's not being discharged until tomorrow:sad:

DYJHIW you thought hubby was coming out of hospital tonight and when you get there, he says he's not being discharged until tomorrow:sad:

Awwwwwww ... well today is now tomorrow, so he will be home later - hurrah :w00t:

Don't you just hate it when: You are at the school fete and have warned your son or daughter to be on their best behavior because their teacher is serving at the stall you are at and they start grabbing your breasts shouting "Boobies", this has happened to me with my 6 year old. :ohmy:

:w00t: LMAO!

The afternoon is dragging .... i wanna go home .... and i still cant decide whether to go out alone this evening !!!

Don't you just hate it when: you are in a rush and haven't got change for the parking ticket machine!!!

.......... when you make arrangements on the phone with your sons and their friends to meet down the park near the pub and your husband forgets to mention that he's still got bad guts from a "bad pint" last night (an effin skinful, more like) and doesn't feel like going to the pub. Thanks for telling me, darling! :ranting:

Kids don't care, they just continue playing in a park nearer to home. Me? I have a cup of tea. Thanks.

....you Go To Three Banks This Morning (2 Not Working) To Get Some Money To Buy A Newspaper And Then Arrive At Your Destination To Be Greeted By A Mountain Of Free Newspapers.

As if your evening hadn't got off to a bad enough start, some so-called "friends" call and leave a message from Hyde Park to brag that they're at the Queen/Paul Rogers concert. NOT CONTENT WITH THAT, they call again to speak to me personally. AND Peter Kay's there. THEN they call back again, but this time I get to hear the great man himself singing "Tie Your Mother Down".

I can't begin to describe how jealous, angry, resentful and gutted I'm feeling right now.

However, Live and Let Die's on. Small mercies. :sad:

brilliant, lmao:laugh:

But Patsy, that means they're missing out on eviction night.:w00t:


Oops sorry, your not a BB fan are you.

No, I'm not. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Don't you just hate it when: you go along to the parents evening to look at your son/daughters work and notice that they have drawn a lovely picture of you but your smile soon drops when they say out loud in front of the other mums "look mum i drew you skinny" even though you know you are a bit overweight! :ohmy: (this has also happened to me)

And the worst !! Don't you just hate it when: You are invited along to someone's house and their dog takes a shine to you and starts humping your leg, and you are politely trying to shake him off whilst trying to keep a smile on your face!

And the worst !! Don't you just hate it when: You are invited along to someone's house and their dog takes a shine to you and starts humping your leg, and you are politely trying to shake him off whilst trying to keep a smile on your face!

trying to shake him off is telling him "No", but smiling is telling him "Yes" ... you really must stop sending out mixed messages, Bridge!


DYJHIW.... you're 42 and your mother can make you feel like a naughty teenager sometimes!!!! :ranting:

DYJHIW your youngest offsprung strode away half an hour ago for a 45 minute walk through the woods to meet a bunch of old schoolfriends, for picnicking and swimming at Plymbridge
https://www.nbninternational.com/_include/images/plymbridge03.jpg
(wearing only a mini skirt and strap top over her bikini cos Dad assured her there's no way it'll rain today)...

...and the heavens just opened!

Your colleague is on holiday for the week, and in her absence i have to look after her grumpy horrid boss :sad: Roll on next weekend.

dyjhiw - all the calls you have to deal with are people complaining about the hosepipe ban!

The dog eats the only decent bra you own :ohmy: I did all my ironing last night and folded up my knickers / bras etc and left them on the kitchen worktop ready to be whizzed upstairs. But i forgot and left them there, and this morning 2 pairs of knickers and my best bra were in ribbons !!

He is not my favourite animal right now :ninja:

Ahhhh, but he's so gorgeous too. You know you love him.

DYJHIW your husband panics when a thing flashes up on the computer telling him he "must download this otherwise the computer will die". So he downloads it................. and it dies. :sad:

Oh dear, Patsy :sad:


DYJHIW - you have a very rude customer shouting at you :ranting:

Ahhhh, but he's so gorgeous too. You know you love him.

DYJHIW your husband panics when a thing flashes up on the computer telling him he "must download this otherwise the computer will die". So he downloads it................. and it dies. :sad:

I do love him yeah - otherwise he would of had my toe up his ar*e.

Oooops with regards to the comp :bag: So what will you do ??? Do you use it to post on here ??

At home, yes Bons. I'm working now, obviously. :bag:

DYJHIW - You get a paper cut! :mad:

DYJHIW it takes you 10 times to do a three point turn. I am absolutely useless at reversing, parking and spacial awareness. :bag:

Mind you it was a very tight spot....... although mr tiggs could probably do it in four. :kid:

DYJHIW the boss (nasty one) catches you on here - and because he thinks you are bored (which i am, but i dont want him to know that) gives me grotty drossy jobs all afternoon :ohmy:

DYJHIW you've had a bit of a dodgy stomach:sad:

Awww Andrea - I hope you feel better soon :hug:

DYJHIW - there is something flying around the room and you don't know what it is :ohmy:

[QUOTE=ilovesurvivorDYJHIW - there is something flying around the room and you don't know what it is :ohmy:[/QUOTE]

dyjhiw ..... Science gets evicted from the BB house! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_9_7.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYAXGB)

Here, here:cry:

DYJHIW.....you are so tired and want to go to bed, but can't be bothered to move. :sleep: zzzzzzzzzzz

DYJHIW you go out on a shopping trip into Norwich and when you get to the long queue for the car park you see the water heater guage is on red and basically overheating.

Manage to get parked, go shopping and call hubby up before I set off back as I realise something is very wrong with the car, needing water or something.

Well put 4 litres of water into car before setting off home and all is well, no over heating on the way back.
Until hubby looks under the bonnet and that something that we need is a new radiator:shocking:
Called round and have ordered one for £90:shocking:
Hubby's going to fix it in and hopefully all will be well.

It really was a case of thinking, is there going to be anything else that can go with the car because if so, is it worth thinking about scrapping it and getting a new one.
We really only need it to last another year until I get my course done, it's been such a good car since we bought it, I am sweet talking to it every spare minute I have got:w00t:

Glad you got home ok Andrea. :thumbsup:

I am sweet talking to it every spare minute I have got:w00t:

Try foot massage and back rub Andrea.

That's the Norfolk way isn't it? :kid:

Glad you got home ok Andrea. :thumbsup:

Aww, thanks Tigger.
Yeh that's what hubby said as well. Bit scarey really after the fact thinking about what could have happened, but hey, we're ok.

we're ok.

Glad to hear that Andrea :hug:

Try foot massage and back rub Andrea.

That's the Norfolk way isn't it? :kid:

but what about a bit of "but I stood up for you, you over heated on me and all I said was you have been a good car to me over the years. Don't make me feel like an ar$e":w00t:

Go on admit......you're in love with that car, aren't you Andrea? :ohmy:

No, that car is really just a wonderful friend.

DYJHIW - a customer is so nasty and aggressive they upset you :sad:

Sorry to hear that ILS. Hope you are ok now.:hug:

DYJHIW. you run out of milk so can't have cereal but can't be bothered to get up and go out so end up eating an enormous box of toffees and feeling incredibly guilty and sick. I am going to be sick

DYJHIW - a customer is so nasty and aggressive they upset you :sad:

pull yourself together woman! get a grip! .... and tell them to ****** off! ... your word against theirs and we all know you are the golden girl!

:hug:

tell them to ****** off! ...

Oh I was tempted believe me! But he was such an a*sehole, he would have reported me..... I don't normally let the t*ssers get to me, so I guess I must be pre menstrual today!

DYJHIW - you are suppose to be going to a BBQ this afternoon but it is raining hard :glare:

DYJHIW - it is raining again :sad:

A tenant rings up to complain that the rain is too noisey!!!! :glare:

It's probably the errant e that's causing the problem, Pats. :thumbsup:

Pedant.........

Thank you...

You speak to a wonderful old man who tells you his wife has recently died, and could he sort out her insurance policies. He sounded so very very sad - and i just wanted to hug him.

This is a horrid job sometimes.

Aww bonnie.... here's a :hug: for you...

DYJHIW you take the kids up to bed, read them a story, all nice and quiet.
Then they want to see Daddy to say goodnight.
He goes up and the next thing you hear is screaming and laughing from all three of them.
So I shout up, "Hey you lot up there, it's supposed to be quiet time and sleep time"

Hubby then comes down and says the kids are wide awake.

Nooooooooo, wouldn't happen to be anything to do with you winding them up then would it:wallbash:

Why do men always do that, my childrens dad always did that too Andrea!

DYJHIW - the postman delivers 5 letters and they are all bills :sad:

You dont know how to fill the next 1/2 hr of your time !!!

When you've been having a great time, but everything suddenly slows down and what was once 'normal' is now dull.

You accidentally run your favourite cat over.:shock:

You accidentally run your favourite cat over.:shock:

I'm sorry to hear that secrets :cry:



DYJHIW - it rains hard on your nearly dry washing :sad:

DYJHIW......... you forget to take the muffins out of the oven on time, burn fingers in rush to take tray out, drop tray instantly and all muffns slide off and drop down back of oven :bag:

When the dog eats a baby bird :bag:

I was just sat watching TV and i heard all this slurping and crunching. I looked on the floor at the dog and he was chewing a baby bird, which was still fresh as blood and guts were all over the place. I truly did think i would be sick :sad:
