It's the last straw!

jeni {{hug}}

They say that troubles come in threes. You've had your three now jeni so you are due for some nice things to happen to you.

* jeni * is it vodka time yet....you don't sound useless and incompetent too me you are just used to your abilities ,organising all those things and travelling and working at something you are good at dosent sound useless to me,I am able bodied and wouldn't have the confidence to do that for myself or someone else...sounds like graces grey pup is paying you a visit as well....matron advises an oh F**k it attitude and a large vodka...the sun is well over the yard arm now [Flowers]

Much too early for vodka! I should be reading the cases for Wednesday, I've done mon and tues ones. I've now developed a pain in my right wrist so hurts to type

Can your angel neighbour help out with letting heating/boiler man in?
East sizing is strange this year - I found their L massive and M too tight when I tried on a silk suit, v disappointed - send it back and maybe try Wallis or Sahara (or next size up) You are not useless or incompetent, just juggling a lot of balls at present. it was Cunard that made the change, not you. Are they not under any sort of obligation to help with booking?
Good luck - tell that grey puppy to move on!

Well what better reason is there to have one then

No she's at work too! I'm hoping he might come today!

Fortunately I don't need hot water. My shower is electric.

Wear into the shower whatever clothes must be washed, and take the dirty dishes into the shower with you.

elegran did that with my undies when my kitchen was out of action..

jeni - I can feel your frustration jump off the page! You know full well you're none of those things - but these irritations racking up make you want to SCREAM don't they!

One, two, three - AAAAARRRRRRRGH!!!

Take care.x I'd picked up somewhere else on GN that you were feeling low.

jeni that grey puppy is certainly making the rounds today!
We all know that you are extremely capable and indeed bolshy when you need to be, so don't beat yourself up when you are just having a blip!

It will all get sorted in the end, and it's not the end of the world yet.
Count your blessings, you could be married to the old git next door

NOW THAT DOESN'T EVEN BEAR THINKING ABOUT!

Go and wash your mouth out! [outrage]

jeni [shock

jeni count to ten......... useless, helpless and incompetent no definitively not you are one of the most capable people I know. Things will fall into place and you will wonder what your wobble was all about.

Can your cleaner come in tomorrow if your boiler man has not been?

Order the next size dress.

I've arranged for Gary 9-12.30 his wife Kate cleaner 12.30-2.30. I hope it's all done by then!
Have phoned the overland tour organiser to arrange a hotel for us in Jerusalem overnight.
Determined to lose the weight to get int dress!

Not bad for a little crippled old woman?

Little? 13st2 3/4lbs and 5'7"?

Sounding a bit better now jeni!

I just hate not knowing what to do and feeling I'm not in control. I suppose I'm a control freak?

There you go jeni I knew you could sort it

See - you're completely in charge again! Things are as they should be...

this is the final straw!..........I don't know whether I am coming or going at the moment.My sister is coming to stay for a couple of nights this week and my OH and I have spent a lot of this weekend getting ready for the royal visit. The problem is we are like chalk and cheese, she is very tidy and organised and I am just slightly laid back!I live in an old farmhouse with cats and dogs.She lives in a pristine estate house-am not criticising this, just painting the picture.She lives 400 miles away and rarely visits but will take the cross channel ferry 7 miles from us and not call in!I suspect her DH has OCD about cleanliness and this may be why they don't like to stay with us.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, after all the mopping and vacuuming, I have just had a FLEA land on me (pesky cats).She will go bonkers!

You might be reprieved futther visits though! You have my sympathy, why do these visitations cause us so much grief - we are grown up people and visitore must take us as they find us. Keep a bottle of gin in unlikely places and have a quick tipple whenever it gets a bit much. Alternatively, get her so tiddly she doesn't notice! Good luck though

Good plan graces.They are coming in their clean camper van and I have a feeling that they will opt to sleep there in case they are allergic to the dog!

I would breed the fleas and put them in their bed! But I have an evil mind!
