He sounds like a complete d!ckhead Bonnie!

He sounds like a complete d!ckhead Bonnie!

He certainly is. For a boss he is really childish. He stopped talking to me for a fortnight once when i disagreed with something he said ... he knew i was right :pimp: He only started talking again when he wanted me to buy some jewlery (sp) off him that he had brought back from Portugal to start a business !!!

He is a slime.

Tell him to sell his car and take the bus, Bonnie!

DYJHIW - it's parents evening, this afternoon :wacko:

DYJHIW it's bloody freezing

DYJHIW it's bloody freezing

Now this, I do agree with!! It is baltic down here!

I hate it when i am in public and my little boy shouts ' Budda Mam'

...you have to get a really really early train; wake up too soon and daren't go back to bed?

DYJHIW its freezing cold and your car heater packs up.

dyjhiw you are just getting ready to leave the office to go and meet urk for the friday after work pint and you discover two reports you need to finish for monday.

fek fek fek....

I'll just have to have a large voddy when I get to the pub to compensate for lost time....:wacko:

DYJHIW - The IT geeks have been in....done an upgrade and now.....the system keeps crashing and we keep losing the internet and have to keep taking incident reports down on paper! :wallbash:

Don't you just hate it when it comes a spectacular lightning and thunderstorm to usher in yet ANOTHER cold front??? Temps this week to be in the 1-2C range in the day with -8/-9 at night!! BRRRR!:ranting:

Your waiting to be called in for your annual review :ninja: Im cacking myself, as the two bosses act like little Hitlers.

Im sooooooooooooooo nervous :blush:

DYJHIW - you wake up with a sore throat :cry:

DYJHIW - you wake up with a sore throat :cry:

Aww ils. :hug:
That's always the first sign of a cold coming with me...:mellow:

Any news Bons?

DYJHIW you had to have a heaf test done on your arm, and today it's come up red, itchy (and your not supposed to scratch it) and looks like a great big bees stung my arm. And this is only one day after, I go and get it read next week, so I've no idea what it's going to look like by then.:shocking:

Any news Bons?

Thanks for asking :pimp:

It was a really good review, and they had nothing but praise for me which was a relief. I am also now joining the company pension scheme, where they match what i put in - every little helps.

I was hoping for a pay increase, but they arent doing those until April - so fingers crossed.

Well done Bon, I know what it's like having the dreaded review (we get mini-coaching sessions every month!) so I'm glad it went well.

When you hear the sad news that a member of your church parish has died. She is our session clerk and only just retired last year. I attended my Emmaus Course with, she came along to assist the minister and I found her input a huge help and has been really good to me in recent times. She has a grand-daughter who name is also Abbie and she was always asking how my "Abbie" was. She was a really, lovely woman who always had a smile and time for anyone. She was only 60 and I am feeling really sad, I just can't believe that I won't see her bustling around the church again. She is going to be such a huge loss.

You get a sore throat yesterday and wake up feeling completely crap today.

You have had a virus for the past month, feel like crap and can't shake it off :(

sorry in advance for cack spelling etc:wacko: :wink_kiss

Isis! Why are you in hospital? Did you have an operation for your pain? I hope you are ok!:)

Tiggs see the DYJLIW thread Isis explains there.

DYJHIW you feel too tired to really enjoy the weekend!

when your other half hogs the TV to watch.........boxing! :boxing:

when your other half hogs the TV to watch.........boxing! :boxing:

when your 13 yr old grandson hogs your computer all evening to talk to a 13 yr old girl - awww he's growing up :)

when you and little msboy are up Friday nite and all day Saturday with sick stomach!! Feeling somewhat better today, although we feel like a truck ran us down!!:unsure:

DYJHIW your heating packs up and its bluddy freezing. Luckily I have a gas fire in the living room but as soon as I leave this room I am cold again. I also have a cold and a toothache so feeling really fed up.

DYJHIW you have loads of presents to wrap up for your kids at school

DYJHIW you have loads of presents to wrap up for your kids at school

You could have saved time and money but jus5t telling them their gift this years was no homework for the CHRISTMAS holidays! :smartie:

The litle b*ggers would still have expected something!!

The litle b*ggers would still have expected something!!

One big tin of Minature Heros and no homework! :smartie:

Too late now - I've bought the presents!

Next year ....................

Too late now - I've bought the presents!

Next year ....................

....spend 300+ days teaching them that giving is better than receiving...then explain in sudbtle hint form that you have just had to spend all your money on an aging aunts hip operations as she had to go private and then put your feet up and see what they bring you!

You work for someone who you think is this neat, organized, immaculate person only to find out the utter and complete opposite is true!!!!

I'm still recovering from the shock...my OCD will be in overdrive for the next few days!!:shocking:

DYJHIW yet again your husband forgets to save up for his tax bill .... and then sinks into depression as he cant afford it. So Bonnie to the rescue for the 2nd year running :unsure:

He cant be a prize plonker some times. I tell him to save monthly - but does he do it .... NO :ranting:

I know that feeling Bella - it is really sad.:sleep:

DYJHIW - you spend a pleasant evening with a friend, drop them off at home and find out the next day [today] that they died overnight! Similarly to your friend Bella, mine was my WI president, our school secretary and on my Church Chimes committee. And I was the last person to see her alive.

The police have been round today to take a statement. It was all so sudden and we are all saddened and shocked.:closedeye

That is really sad Flip it must have been a shock for you.

Trivial compared to yours Flip and Bella but....

DYJHIW - You lose your watch! :wallbash:

DYJHIW - Dispite your asking, your dad has failed to leave a key for his car when he went away for a month two and a half months ago....his excuse was 'You shouldn't need to move it and I'll be back in a month anyway'....and now the road is being dug up and your dads car is going to be in the way....there's nothing I can do about it...he said he was coming home today last I spoke to him but phoned this morning to say he'd missed his flight and wont be back til the 27th....if his car gets towed away or damaged I no longer care...he can sort it out when he gets back! :wallbash:

those people you gave birth to make you cry in the dark, in your vehicle, in the cold??? My (alleged) oldest son waits til 10:30 tonight to tell me he needs clean clothes and what have I done the past couple of days??? Other than working, thinking I had dysentary and other important stuff...nothing!!! I have become a washerwoman and a lower class citizen to my child...what has happened????:cry:

Awwww Flip and Bella, im very sorry to hear both of your news.

And MS Girl - i sympathise. Sometimes things just get on top of you, and you must feel very undervalued right now. I hope things pick up today.


I had a pants night last night. My husband has been very low and tired and very grumpy. I spend my life trying to make him feel better - like offering to pay his tax bill that he didnt save for. I do everything i can to put a smile on his chops - and my efforts just get slapped away. :wallbash:

slap him back bons.

not only is he astonishingly feckless with money [xmas presents thread and this one] but he goes and lays a 'poor me' vibe on you?

time to be strong me dear.

for both your sakes.

...when you're all ready to go to Toys R Us to get loads of pressies, but the rest of the household is fast asleep :angry:

....when some idiot has parked on the road right opposite your driveway, and with it being a small road, I now can't get my car out.
Not that I'm going anywhere, but I might just do now.:devil:

We get something similar happening where we live. We dont have driveways, so its a bit of an unwritten rule that the space outside your house is YOUR space. I park on the green opposite the house.

But the man next door has a son who has just split with his girlfriend and has moved back home. He is a right pain, always rolling home late from the pub making a noise and waking us up - and he has taken to parking his car outside our house, as his dad is parked outside his own house. His dad is a lovely man, and has sometimes apologised to us when a vistors of their has nicked out space .... so why doesnt he tell his son to stop doing it ?

Did you do it Andrea? :laugh: That would have been so funny if you did!

I have been double-parked a couple of times and once I even had to phone the Police (which I hated doing as it was really trivial) but I really needed the car as I had to visit my mum in hospital. I blasted & blasted the horn and no-one came, the police had to knock the couple up who lived straight across from me and my car was parked right outside their door! If you are going to double park at least do it so that people can get out. The man was so rude to me and his wife was just really apologetic.

My hubby will park in the tightest of parking spaces and he once got a note on his windscreen asking him to leave a F*&%*ng tin-opener next time!:ninja:

Oh my god, that made me howl with laughter :laugh: :laugh:

...when your little popsicle (Gigi) has been puking up for the last two days :cry: and is feeling very very poorly.

.......... when you are supposed to go through to Inverness tomorrow to see your new nephew tomorrow - and the snow is falling heavily. I shouldn't be surprised though - the weather usually takes a turn for the worse when we decide to go up north at this time of the year!!

The ****ing forum's changed - bigtime! It's gone all black and orange, nothing works the way it should and I dunno what I'm doing.

****e. Fink I'll go to bed. I've had a bit to much to dirnk anyhow.

Do I need to change my setting to make it not be b lack an orange? Where the **** are the smilies too. Was gonna add one of them in too, to make it look like I was less p!ssed off than I am.... (imagine a face that looks like its smiling, but really is sligthly miffed - thats the one I was gonna put in)

Hiya karenh,

I don't believe it, how can you have to much to drink by 10.45. I came home about 1 am and I have had a great time.

Hope you enjoyed yourself anyway.

DYJHIW you have to get up at some godawful hour to catch a train and therefore can't sleep :ranting:

My hubby will park in the tightest of parking spaces and he once got a note on his windscreen asking him to leave a F*&%*ng tin-opener next time!:ninja:

lmao! bella! I fear it may have been my brother in law, Maxine's husband, who left that note, he used to carry round a pocket full of them ... just in case some tw@ parked like dear old Mr Bella!

Or Mr C :blush:

DYJHIW - master ils#2 is not very well and has been asleep on the sofa nearly all day :cry:

Thats rotten Ils and I have just seen floopys little Gigi has been ill as well.
Almost everyone I know has had some sort of virus in the last couple of weeks with varying degrees of severity.

Here's hoping for a bug free christmas butit will probably be all the mums that go down with it then they haven't had time yet.

DYJHIW - master ils#2 is not very well and has been asleep on the sofa nearly all day :cry:

Snap, ils - only it is my number 1 child that is not well - I was going to take her to see Narnia today but she just wasn't well enough. She is so hot I could fry an egg on her. I am hoping she is well enough as she has a speech to say in church for the school nativity on Tuesday.

Let's hope that all our little ones get better:)

there are STILL no beds avail for me at paignton hospital:( and mummy goes home to warwickshire tomorrow:cry:

hang in there ISIS...here's sending good thoughts for available beds from accross the pond!!!:heart:

hang in there ISIS...here's sending good thoughts for available beds from accross the pond!!!:heart:

awwwww thanks hunnie:wink2: big hugs too xx

DYJHIW .... you have eaten half of a lovely thick crust of bread and then noticed a big splodge of green mold on the back :sick:

I hope you get your bed soon Isis and that the little ones soon get over their ills.

(Is mold harmful? should I get my stomach pumped? am I a hypochonriac? what was the lottery numbers? is there a Santa? am I losing it?)

Well Crit, they say penicillian came from a mold...maybe you innoculated yourself against birdflu or malaria...:laugh: Seriously though, I am a fanatic bread inspector when going to make a sandwhich or toast!!!!:huh:

Well Crit, they say penicillian came from a mold...maybe you innoculated yourself against birdflu or malaria...:laugh: Seriously though, I am a fanatic bread inspector when going to make a sandwhich or toast!!!!:huh:

LOL - I do hope so. I'm normally fanatical too but I was in a rush :(

We'll keep vigil tonight and if you're still kicking tomorrow, I say you're gonna make it!!!:laugh:

DYJHIW they came today and cut down a line of 8 beautiful trees that used to line the main road through our village, and ran along the back of our garden :sad: .

When our tree (the one at the end of our garden) was full of leaves you could see the outline of a face in it and during the summer I thought about stories to tell Gigi about the man in the tree. But now it's gone :sad: , too big and too old and too dangerous apparently.

(hope they don't come round for Cockney for the same reasons)

That's so sad - we had the same thing here in the summer and now have a lovely view of the railway line :wacko:

DYJHIW the beamer went in for an mot yesterday and failed:sad:

The handbrake isn't working on one of the back wheels.
So now hubby has to get under the car over the weekend and suss out what to do.

Consequently I have been frequenting BMW forums to find out what he needs to do.

Me again, having a bad week.
DYJHIW for the last 2 nights you have been tossing and turning in bed for at least 2 hours, and not been able to go to sleep until about 2am. Why? I've no idea.
But now, I'm wondering whether to stay up and watch BB or to actually try and go and get some sleep.

Me too Andrea - my body clock has gone south for the winter I fear:wacko:

And BB is nowt but silence and interior shots at the moment.

When you should have been at a football tournament with your son and instead you are sitting at his bedside in hospital watching him recover from having his appendix removed last night.:cry: I really could cry for him.

Have just come home to sort out other two boys and grab something decent to eat......HAPPY NEW BLOODY YEAR BUZZ!!:wallbash:

That's a real bummer Buzz - hope he's up and about playing football soon.

That's a real bummer Buzz - hope he's up and about playing football soon.
Thanks Rob. The docs are hopeful for about 3-4 weeks....it'll seem like years for him though.

Buzz, I'm sorry to hear about master buzz, I hope he is feeling better and back playing footie soon. :hug:

Sorry to hear about master Buzz I hope he is soon fighting fit.

are you going to bring the appendix home in a pickle jar Buzz?!

Hope he is feeling better. I had appendicitis over Christmas but I seemed to have self healed ... my body is a temple ... or I'm a hypochondriac!


DYJHIW ... you are tired all the time but don't ever relax!

are you going to bring the appendix home in a pickle jar Buzz?!



Urgh Dol!!! BEst Wishes to master Buzz and hope he is kicking the footie around in no time!

DYJHIW you go to your parents and have a really, really crap time. My dad's depression hit an all time low today and it was the cauliflower cheese that broke the camel's back! :shocking:

I feel your pain Bella...my dad is still in the crux of post holiday blues....he has always been miserable but since he got back from his three month trip of Hong Kong etc he's been in the darkest of moods....and every time I open my mouth he takes offence...it's like walking on egg shells the whole time....I have decided to ignore him as much as possible...no doubt he will moan about this fact to any one who will listen but I'd rather that than him getting stroppy with me every time I try and talk to him! :bored:

Best wishes to Master Buzzlet, Buzz.
Hope he comes home soon:hug:

When you are trying to sort out your accounts! I forgot about this part of being self-employed - the tax man is going to pick holes at my figures! I know I should have done it as I went along! :wallbash:

((hugs))

I know, it's a bummer.

When you get a phone call from the area manager who wants to put me on trial on Thurs !!!! Basically when we receive a cheque from the client we HAVE to get it posted to head office that same day. On a very odd occasion this cant always be done.

Well, we are one of the top achievers in the whole company, and yet 3 of our cases were late. Non were due to us being lax, but mainly because Head office are numpties.

But the area manager has basically managed to twist things so it looks like mine and my bosses fault. He is now saying how things could look bad on my boss etc etc ....

I cant believe it. There was one massive case where the boss got some champagne in to celebrate. He has also been invited to sit at the 'Top Achievers' dinner in a doo tomorrow night .... and now they come along and kick him in the balls.

Im soooo mad i could scream :wallbash:

The timing belt light in my car has just gone on. Ive called the garage and they recommend i dont drive it until fixed. BUT i cant find the blummin bus timetable for my area. I've never taken the bus.

What am i going to do now !!!!!

DYJHIW - one of your tyre's has a punchure and it costs £102 to replace :cry:

DYJHIW you are given a time-slot of 8.45-12.45 for your new dishwasher to arrive and it looks like you are going to be the last drop off, so you have been stuck indoors all morning!

DYJREALLYHI when ALL the banklink machines on campus are banjaxed..and you have to step inside an actual bank to withdraw money.
Very time consuming............grump.

The bast ards in the planning department at the town hall REFUSE your application for your extension..on some really stupid reasons too...:wallbash:

However, not is all lost. We have slightly amended the plans and resubmitted, the architect assures me it should be fine this time.

Its just the fact that we have to wait ANOTHER 6 weeks for the desicion.

B A S T A R D S:ranting:

and breathe

oh buzz I do hope you are going to start a "builders" thread once the extension gets underway.

i seriously find all that stuff quite fascinating ...you know the good things (the builders turning up on time) and the bad things (the builders not turning up for days and days) ... keep us informed.

Maxine had an extension done last year and it turned out absolutely fabulous.

So just think of the end result everytime you have to look at the back crack of a builder or make another vat of tea for them!

I shall indeed sasify your need Dolly and start a thread and I shall provide pictures and everything....if the feckin thing ever gets going......

I may even get the builders to 'pose' for you, crack and all...

I may even get the builders to 'pose' for you, crack and all...

we don't want any builders with buff washboard stomachs ... we want the real thing!

we don't want any builders with buff washboard stomachs ... we want the real thing!
And ye shall have the real thing I promise you.....

DYJHIW your head hurts:sad:

I must be getting a bug or something

(nothing to do with the wine from last night - oh no)

Put it in again Buzz, they nearly always turn down the first application, don't ask me why.

DYJHIW you plan a trip to Arthur's Seat to feed the swans at Duddingston Loch and take a walk to the top as it was such a glorious day, only to find that all roads into Holyrood Park are closed off because of the Great Winter Run!!

And DYJHI even more when everyone else had the same idea so you got stuck in a horrendous traffic jam on the way out!
:wallbash:

I know this is WAYYYYY in advance, but my colleague just told me she is going away for the whole of Xmas next year - and has just booked it so she gets it cheaper.

Thats great - apart from the fact that if she goes away i have to work. What an a*se.

I feel your pain Bonnie....although here in Happy land we accept the occasional needs of others to infringe on our desires...

One of the team is off to Canada next Christams to spend it with her daughter over there for the first time in ex number of years so rather than being bitter about it we are rejoicing for her....besides, I'm taking the whole of May off so I can't really complain can I! :blush:

Also we have a couple of guys with young kids so they get first dibs...I am not a fan of this philosophy however since if I'm not around Mama Coastie is either on her own or has to travel to Newquay for Christmas and so I am left alone (my Dad doesn't do Christmas)....and since I shall be working it this year...indeed Christmas will be spent alone...unless my mate visits from London again...oh the laughs! :kid:

Evil small child has been playing with your purse and now all but one of your cards are missing :sly: . Now I have to search the house for places she may have put them - the video, the bin, the toilet etc. Grrr

Is this a random small child or someone you know, floops? Call the police, that'll teach her.

I took her to the park as punishment and she got a wet bum on the slide and mud all over her shoes and trousers.

That told her. :unsure:

Gosh I bet she was a quivering wreck after that punishment Floops....:kid:

I must remember this for next time I am dishing out the punishments....:naughty:

Oh yes, she won't be doing that again in a hurry :smartie:

(have hidden purse, also) :bag:

My mind is totally blank, and I can't think of anything at all to post (apart from this that is...) :unsure:

DYJHIW - The works internet access is playing up and you don't know how long you have to play before it kicks you off again...:ranting:

DYJHIW ......last night, Gigi had a balloon that she'd got from a restaurant, got it home and was very excitedly playing with it, let it go, it floated up to the ceiling and burst on the light fitting :sad: .

Her poor little face, standing there with a limp piece of string with a bit of old rubber on the end. Awwww :cry: I nearly cried.

We're off out to buy some reserve balloons today.

Who would have thought that a little balloon can cause so much upset? It's even worse when you get out of the restaurant and they lose grip of the balloon and it floats away into the sky! :shocking:

We have a pack of balloon on stand-by in case of emergencies. Hope Gigi enjoys her new balloon!

When you have a row with your boss :unsure:

...DYJHIW ... the girl in the office WONT stop talking and it's always about HERSELF ... and it's always in a whiney Scottish accent! (nothing against Scottish accents ... just the whiney ones!)

...DYJHIW ... the girl in the office WONT stop talking and it's always about HERSELF ... and it's always in a whiney Scottish accent! (nothing against Scottish accents ... just the whiney ones!)
Just do a Catherine Tate and walk round her desk and shove everything on the floor...

DYJHIW you come in from work this afternoon and see a message on the phone from school.
They had called me about half an hour earlier to say my youngest had fallen on the playground and it would probably be best if he was to come home.

Well I go in to get him, and there he is sat, looking all sorry for himself, with a huge fat top lip. Fallen over having a running race with his friends and his brother.
Funny thing was, his brother didn't even know Steven had fallen over, he was too busy trying to win the race.:laugh:

Steven's fine though, just looks like he's been in a boxing ring, bless him.

When you try to book tickets for the Fimbles Live! (I know, I know...) only to discover that they won't let under 2s into the theatre :wallbash:

I mean honestly! Surely that's the whole point of a Fimbles show?

Poo :sly:

Can't you and Cockers just go anyway Floops...it would be a shame to miss such an opportunity! :huh:

:sly: .......................humph

Seriously Floops...I once used a small child as an excuse to see the Noddy Show! :)

I would offer to do it for you Dol but trust me when I say you ironing drunk will still be far better than my attempts when sober....I always manage to put more creases in than I take out... :cry:

My bestest friend at work has just got a Deputy Headship at another school and he'll have left by the time I get back :cry: .

Darn it, he was my best source of gossip as well :ninja:

Sorry floops!! Hope you find a new source and buddy!!

Isn't this the one that you did his typing for and didn't he promise he'd take you with him??
If he reneges on the deal, do what Cat and I do with the Head - lock him in the office and only communicate via the telephone.

When the boss shouts at you .... again.

Im getting truly cheesed off now. He was having a go at my colleague about something very minor, and i said in a calming voice trying to difuse the matter 'does it really matter, it will work even though it isnt in alphabetical order' and he went mad !!!

I stormed off, which is bound to be raised in my review.

So thats twice in less than a week that he has 1) raised his voice at me and 2) swore at me.

No dopey, that was a deputy head who got a headship; this is an assistant head who got a deputyship. Do try and keep up dear.

sorry Bonsia but I do see his point ... of course it matters if it's not in alphabetical order!! :laugh:

seriously though, this guy shouldn't be shouting at anyone in the workplace. :nono:

He is obviously either in the dark ages or a bully or both ... I worked with a ****** like that til recently, although I always gave as good as I got ... except the day I cried! :blush: :cry: (oh the shame!!)

No dopey, that was a deputy head who got a headship; this is an assistant head who got a deputyship. Do try and keep up dear.

And for your information, love, the last time I did anyone else's typing was about 1986. :toss hair:

I am ignoring Dolores.

Humph.
scuse me for breathing.....stroppy cow!

Oh and by the way..Watch it when your'e tossing your hair, make sure it doesn't get caught in the flames of the bunsen burner.

I think what i hate most is the fact that i have an awful lot of respect for this guy. He is also a genuinely nice man who makes me giggle a lot of the time. But just lately he is nasty with a capital N. Im so totally low about it and now im scared to open my mouth.

As for crying, i felt like it - let me tell you. It has been known for me to burst into a flood of tears at work, which is the worst thing possible and makes me feel weak. Noone makes me cry and gets away with it :ranting:

When you try to book tickets for the Fimbles Live! (I know, I know...) only to discover that they won't let under 2s into the theatre :wallbash:

I mean honestly! Surely that's the whole point of a Fimbles show?

Poo :sly:

Ha! the website was wrong, they are letting very small people in, so
hoorah, we're going to see the Fimbles!

Out more? Moi? :bag:

DYJHIW your computer chair is becoming very uncomfortable. All the padding seems to have disappeared. And Morrisons don't have that cheap leather chair in stock anymore.

DYJHIW some ars*hole parks across your garage http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/boese/g070.gif

DYJHIW ...

you don't know how long it's been there, you can't remember who you've talked to, you don't know if anyone else has spotted it ... you only find out about it as you gently scratch your nose to come away with a hard brown bogey attached to your finger nail!!!! ewwww! :blush: :sick:

Hard and brown? My guess is at least a couple of hours. It would be neither hard nor brown if it was a recent one (in my experience). *sniggers* Wonder how many people have cut short their conversations with you today.

DYJHIW - no matter what you do you still can't see your egg!

DYJHIW - you've got that bloody tune from Annie in your head :wallbash:

Serves me right

DYJHIW your son offers you a bit of 'trick' chewing gum which gives you an electric shock and you spill your champers on the keyboard.:oops: Pesky kids.:kid: :kid:

Im sorry to hear that ILS. I hope things work out ok for you and your colleagues.

dyjhiw...

you've got to have "words" with someone at work tomorrow. It's giving me a migraine ... but it must be tackled!

I find a big pointy stick helps in these situations...just emphisise each word you have with the colleague with a jab of the ribs with the pointy end of the stick...this not only gets the point across loud and clear but it releives the tenstion you are feeling at the time as well...:nerd:

ILS - Let's hope a bigger company with a bigger wad of cash takes your company over and decides to give you a promotion and double your wages! :cool:

Thanks Bonnie and Coastie, it is a worrying time, I think the not knowing is the worst thing. Still I should know one way or the other by the end of the week.

DYJHIW you'd love a glass of wine, but hubby's out fishing, the kids are all ready for bed, so I can't go to Spar.

Which kindly soul of you lot is gonna deliver me a bottle:w00t:

DYJHIW the heavens have just opened big time and you've got to go out.:bag:

..grrrr....when you have to go to baby clinic with Steady Eddie, and if you don't get there early you have to wait for ages with loads of pikeys, but Gigi is still fast asleep so you can't leave yet. :bored:

You need to go back to work, floops. Your organisational skills obviously need honing.

As it happens, I wrote to my employer this very morning, telling them that I'll be back at work three days before the easter holidays.

:bag: :w00t:

nip this in the bud Andrea whilst he is still littler than you!


dyjhiw ... (everything's gone tits up so I could be here some time!) ...


1. you've got a stinking cold you've had for a week and your nose alternates between being snotty and bleeding.

2. you can't get to sleep cos of your cold.

3. you've started decorating your son's bedroom and cos of your cold you really don't feel up to finishing it ... but you know you have to.

4. you get woken up by a phone call from your sister!!

5. the right upper cheek has broken out in painful spots (I didn't even get spots when I was teenager like these ones!) and you're not sure if it's cos of your cold or cos you using a new face wash that you got on special offer, even though it's Olay and usually you are ok with Olay products.

6. you wonder if you'll ever feel well again

7. you still have to cook, clean, iron and wash

8. you think you're going to have to take some sick time next week to make sure you are tip top for the meet on Saturday, but you know you have to go in on Monday morning cos you are indepensable (I am you know!)

9. even though you feel lousy you still have an overwhelming desire to come on here and bore everyone to death with how lousy you feel instead of going to bed.

10. you think everyone stopped reading after the first line of this self pitying post!!!

4. you get woken up by a phone call from your sister!!



:oops: :wink_kiss

Awww Dolores .... I read all the list and you didnt bore me at all :)

I hope you feel better soon. I know how you feel as when i was poorly i didnt think i would ever feel well again .... but it does happen - and very quickly.

Im passing positive thoughts over to you. :wub:

You're looking forward to going to London on Saturday but you wake up coughing, sneezing, runny and shivery and the boots you just bought off ebay have arrived, are lovely but won't zip up round your fat legs :cry:

Oooh just went back and saw your woes Dol. We may have to sit together with our Lemsip and tissues.

I know just how you feel and send good vibes and lots of TLC

DYJHIW nobody listens to you?

Your colleague is going to Cuba tomorrow evening ... and she is really excited (understandably). But every time she so much as looks at me she says "ooohhh im so excited about tomorrow" and now i want to hit her.

Its winding me up, im jealous, and i wish i could afford to go somewhere hot and sunny :(

DYJHIW the hangover just seems to last for ever!

dyjhiw your boss, who's been away golfing in spain for a week, gets back feeling guilty and under pressure and suddenly it's your fault...:blink: :sad:

no fair.

Nah, it's not very fair... Seems like life doesn't change much from kids to adults, just you loose your hair and your back goes :kid:

Oh cheers JB - you've actually made me smile!!:thumbsup:




[ actually my back is killing me today! :laugh:]

See? I make people smile (yaaay!) and I predict things that will happen in the future... or maybe I checked out your medical records! :ninja: :laugh:

EDIT: Isn't that was predict means, to see into the future? :laugh: Sorry, just re-thinking myself

DYJHIW you accidentally delete yourself from a Celebdaq league

Yup - but I've managed to get myself re-instated :thumbsup: Thank goodness - it took me ages to get up to the division I'm in!!

dyjhiw...you come home all emotionally shattered and squall like a baby and you are not a CRYER!!!!! I've had a sh!tty day at work, actually 2 and my boss is not the most 'professional' person and well, she's kinda put me in a spot where I'm going to a) have to throw a massive fit or b)politely give my notice and leave it at that. It's not that's she's done anything desparately rude and unforgiveable, but I have spoken to her several times about a situation and she's done something that I can only chalk up to her 'greeness' in the job and to not thinking. I'm absolutely in Taurean drama queen breakdown mode, tears, snot, the works!!:mad2: :cry: :ranting:


(Fee, the monkeys may have to move up to DEFCON 5!!)

DYJHIW you have a hangover from hell.

You have eaten Mr.B's box of maltesers that he got for Xmas .... the WHOLE box.

He will not be a happy bunny when he finds out !!

Aww Ziller, been there it's horrible isn't it - you do absolutely everything don't you? change nappy, feed, cuddle and they still cry. Have you tried a wee bit of tummy massge? Could be wind? But be prepared for a bowel movement!!!! :shocking:

lol she can have some explosive moments, she's calmed now she's got cuddles from mummy, think she get's over tired because she's doing so much looking at stuff instead of kipping.




DYJHIW you haven't heard from solicitors about completing buying a flat!!!

You break your glasses and will now have to fork out about 60 squid for a new pair. :sad:

You have eaten Mr.B's box of maltesers that he got for Xmas .... the WHOLE box.

So now I've had Maltesers on the brain for the last 24 hours. I go to the shops today, I buy a family-sized bag and now I'm halfway through them with no intention of stopping.

BONNIE, this is all your fault! :sly:

Massive apologies .... but at least your waist line will be matching mine - which makes me feel better :nerd: .

Love Podgy xx

There are 11 maltesers left and I'm trying extremely hard not to finish them. Cockers had better get home and eat them soon though, or my resolve will crack (as will my jeans) .

:nerd:

Your fire is really smoking, and lounge smells horrid. It gets right up your nose and into the lungs. Sod smoking a fag, this is passive smoking at the highest degree.

Yuck

Because I chose the cheapo bargain frames in the opticians! They were £10 and the the lens were £60 (so I actually should have written £70)

Thats a good deal PJ. I need some new glasses as the ones i have been wearing for over a year are the wrong prescription. I often wear contact lenses, but i cant afford to wear them as much as i used to.

Unfortunately we dont have any good opticians in Woodbridge. We certainly dont have anywhere like Specsavers or equivalent. The only opticians in the village charge a small fortune. I had a nosy the other day, and im looking at about £200 for a bog standard pair.

I feel a trip to Ipswich coming up (boo hoo hiss).

Because I chose the cheapo bargain frames in the opticians! They were £10 and the the lens were £60 (so I actually should have written £70)

I thought I was being frugal going for the £85 buy one get one free option but by the time they added the cost of lightweight lenses (strong prescription means thick lenses which are heavy) and then I chose to have the second pair as "reactolite" ones for the summer, the total bill came to £185 :cry:

Bloody hell! I would rather walk around blind than pay that!
My lenses aren't that strong so that's why they're only about £60 and the frames are quite flimsy, hence why they were only a tenner.
But they do the job.
Without them I wouldn't be able to drive, watch TV, see the slide-shows in lectures, go to the cinema etc.

Actually, thinking about it, it might not be as bad I think; it's only the frames that are broke. the lenses are fine. So, can I just buy another set of frames (bargain ones again, obviously) and have my original lenses put into them? Surely that should only cost me 20 squid at the most....

I know, it's bad isn't it. The amount I have spent on Specs and contact lenses over the last few years even, I could have had Lasik Eye Surgery and ditched the specs :( Still thinking about it. Would be so nice to be free of the wretched things.

This happened to my husband but what the hey!

He went to Sainsbury's really early and was the first car in the car park. He could pick from any space...got out of the car and trod in a pile of sick!:sick: :laugh:

your heating doesn't work
your son's chain comes off his bike so you have to drive him to school
your house is a mess
you really haven't got time to go to work
you have a really busy day ahead of you

DYJHIW...it's a lovely sunny day, hubby's off work and there's nothing to stop you going for a good old mooch round the Wednesday Car Boot Sale (with nice brekky afterwards) BUT you feel too flipping ill to go :sad:

I've had this flaming cough/cold since Christmas and it's not going anywhere. My throat's sore and my voice is husky but that might be a leftover from the weekend, laughing and talking so much or standing outside in my nightclothes when those flaming fire alarms went off in the hotel :)

Got Doctor's appointment at 11 am so maybe a course of anti-biotics will send it on its way.

Dol, I'm the same with the housework. I've done zilch since we got back Sunday. Stayed in my pyjamas all day Monday, dug myself out to go and Tax the car yesterday, got frozen, then collapsed in front of the 'puter and I can't see me doing much today either.

Off to the docs soon so catch ya later :bye:

Your boss comes up to you and asks you to pay his Barclaycard (lazy b*gger). I asked him where Barclays was as ive never been ... and he said its right up the other end of the Thoroughfare :angry:

When i moaned he said i could pay the bill in HSBC (where im going anyway). Is this right ? Im paying a Barclaycard with a Barclaycard cheque. Why would HSBC accept it ?

Sorry Bons don't know the answer to that one.

DYJHIW you have to go back to work tomorrow after a few days off. I haven't done very much with my time off just cleared out some paper work and shredded it.

I like shredding stuff, I would have had so much fun!

Your boss comes up to you and asks you to pay his Barclaycard (lazy b*gger).

Tell him to pay it online - it's much easier!

DYJHIW having the flu has left me with some kind of post viral rubbish.

I have no energy, totally wiped out and it's thrown me into a depression, and I keep crying. Oh well. Had a whinge about it today at the docs and she said that some flu viruses will do this. I'm still coughing and I still sound bunged up. I wish it would just go away!:cry:

Mind you, I had a couple of Creme Eggs to commiserate.;)

Creme Eggs - recommended therapy for everything :thumbsup: Chin up Tiggs, I know how you feel, I've had this cold/cough thing since Christmas. Got some antibiotics today but, of course, the doc just told me off for smoking :blush:

Tiggs and Crit - i hope you feel heaps better soon.

When i got poorly i was only bedridden for about 3 days - but it felt like a lifetime. I felt tearful, and i called my mum and just hearing her voice made me want to weap. I havent seen her since Xmas and i soooo wish she had been there as she is a great Florance Nightingale.

I wish you all the best, i hope whatever the docs gave you helps.

Chin up, and keep warm.

Tell him that is not in your job description! What a bloomin' cheek!

Tell him that is not in your job description! What a bloomin' cheek!

It is a cheek isnt it. He is forever giving me banking to do for all of his family and he expects me to do it in my lunch hour. I had to pay in a £10 cheque for his son at some obscure building society the other week. It was bitterly cold, and i had to walk a long way to get there.

I lied to him actually. I went into HSBC to pay in Mr.B's banking, and whilst there i asked if they would take the boss's payment. They said no, i would have to walk to Barclays. I said (which is true) that the boss's business account was at HSBC and she took pity on me and accepted the payment ... but she said it was a one off.

I told the boss though that i had had to walk all the way to Barclays in the cold - and next time he could do it himself.

I tell you, ill never go to heaven :ninja:

Bonnie, that is not on! Your lunch hour is for you to do what you want, not to run around after him. Tell him that's what his lunch hour is for!

I would have a quiet word with him, maybe he isn't aware of how peed off you are and as I say you are there to be his runaround bill-payer!

DYJHIW you go out in the car for the first time since it snowed, (2 days ago now and all the snow on the roads and paths have melted) and you have to scrape off at least 3 inches of snow from the it.
And that's with the car being under the car port!

There are only 6 members and 4 guests on here. Where has everyone gone :bored:

Bons I do a whole heap of stuff outside the job description for my boss [family travel / insurance / gifts / car tax / house sitting, but never in my own time. If I do anything for him I either get a thank you [bottle of vino last time for getting deal on computer for son] or get half an hour off or summat.

Next time come back after lunch at 2.45 and see what he says!!:devil:

DYJHIW you have the child from h8ll back for tea! :shutup: Why did I let myself get talked into this?!

Go for the drinkie. The class will be there again next week.

Ah gawan now...

nnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooo you guys are supposed to be my mentors, my concience , my guides!!







oh, alright then. :yahoo:

oh, alright then. :yahoo:

:w00t: That didnt take much persuading did it :good:

Enjoy yourself. But on your conscience be it. :sleep:

I went to the chuffing class.

dyjhiw the band you were reeeeeeeely looking forward to bopping to tonight have cancelled, and your brother's band, whom you don't really rate but don't have the nerve to tell him, are last minute replacements....

as well - at least I get to play tambourine.

DYJHIW - You come home to find a puddle under your boiler...the pressure valve has gone again and it's leaking...and your dad, who normally fixes it, is away in Thailand for another 3months so you are left wondering who to call to fix it that isn't likely to rip you off!

You try someone you know but they are obviouslyu out for the evening and so you have to leave it till tomorrow...however it will be a Saturday and you know you will get stung for weekend call out charges etc.

I will have to have a shower at Mama Coasties tomorrow and the lodger has been instructed to take his wash bag with him next time he visits a friend of his...I hope to get the sodding thing fixed soon but fear the eventual expense! :evilmad:

Well i took Bernie in to the vets today to be shaved ..... and they shoved us in this really hot room - and stupid me almost fainted !!

I have never fainted before in my life, and to be honest i dont know what it feels like - but the room started spinning, i broke out into a sweat all over my forehead and top lip and i felt as weak as a kitten. I sat down for a minute, got back up and room went foggy and i could barely stand. It was sooo embarassing.

I ended up being sent outside for air as the girl said i was very pale, and i felt a lot better.

So Bernie got her shave although she was an hour in there bless her. She was almost 'nipped' and ended up having stitches. So i need to take her back in 10 days time.

So i feel silly now, but also guilty for putting my little girl through all that. If only she would let me brush her :unsure:

Ooo Bon Bon...it's a horrid feeling...I have fainted once for a few seconds and almost fainted several times through heat exhustion...I just have to push myself in silly weather if I am doing something fun and interesting...unfortunately I need a hell of alot more water than many others I know and so have suffered near faints...the world turning red and black...dots before your eyes... and the strength fleeing your limbs it's horrid...:sick:

Last time I had a wobble was t the 'War of the Worlds' premiere it was so hot and I was stood without shade for around 10hrs. The organisers realised people were getting warm and started handing out bottles of water and spraying the crowd (hence the Tom Cruise squirt in the face incident). I had taken a couple of bottles of drink with me but I polished them off very early on...I had to pour water down the back of my neck to stop me from blacking out...I mean that would have been gutting to pass out before Tom had even arrived! :mad2:

I was the school fainter and even taught myself to do it on demand. Usually five minutes into assembly and ten before double Maths.

Classmates used to pay Mars bars to stand beside me at assembly because they would then get to escort me to the Staffroom, where we would spend the rest of the hour alone, raking through the teacher's handbags :w00t:

Fee, how on earth can you make yourself faint?

Fee, love it:thumbsup:

I have been known to faint on quite a few occasions.
Sometimes it's from just getting up to quick, I have low blood pressure.

I go all dizzy, my eyes go fuzzy all around the edges, so I promptly sit/lie down again.

I'm not posting it here, because I've been told it's actually quite harmful!

The art is doing it without anyone noticing.:cool:

You didn't learn from the "Michael Hutchence" method did you FFA?? I shall go no further...:cool2:

Thanks Coastie .... and Bella (not im not pregnant :laugh: ).

Fee - do you faint on demand due to breathing deeply ? i remember a guy at school who i dumped, and he decided to go all pathetic on me and during his next lesson he fainted. He told me he breathed deeply for a long period of time until he passed out.

He was still dumped though :wink2:

DYJHIW - you are tired :sleepy: but are wide awake at the same time :mad2:

DYJHIW hayfever is already kicking in.

DYJHIW hayfever is already kicking in.
Now, I thought I was going ever so slightly mad..for the last two mornings I have woken up all snotty and bunged up but I haven't got a cold. You don't think it could be already do you:cry: :cry:

You feel a bit low ... about a number of different things. I need a holiday but cant have one, i need to buy a number of things but cant plus many others.

So on a moment of madness i have just spoilt myself. I know im skint, but on occasion us girlies just need a treat.

So i have splashes out on some lovely moisturisers, one for day and one for night. I have also bought a lipstick, an eye pencil and an eye shadow. I also got some lovely hair conditioner which was in the bargain bin.

So i feel spoilt now. A good treat does the world of good doesnt it.

There seems to be trouble in the air at work.

Basically my colleague had a word with one of the bosses yesterday about some difficulties she has been having - and now they have scheduled a 'pow wow' into the diary for next Friday morning.

From what i have heard they are going to increase our work load as they are snowed under, so we will have to learn about pensions and annuities etc ...

To be honest we are a little peed off about it because we get paid a pittence and we are already do way more than we were told we would have to do at our interviews. None of us has ever had a pay rise either.

Also - i know the bosses are busy, but its their own fault. They recently bought a client list of an adviser who has retired - so they have doubled their client list. They did it through greed as they make commission etc ... but now they have realised how much work they have to do they are panicking.

Basically though i think if things get bad around here i will look for another job - one that pays better for a 'real' PA role.

DYJHIW your life is in a pickle at the moment. :(
