The weather is awful, it's not even August and the nights are drawing in. My husband has an irritating cough and the cat has disappeared.

Wtf? Did Whitewave die? Confused ?

Lessismore Sat 03-Aug-19 21:14:15

Barmey, ditch the list.

Woodmouse49 you have just described me. I decided to revamp my already lovely garden . In my mind it was easy peasy ,in actual fact its almost seen me off .The mind is willing but the flesh is weak ,. But hey next Spring it will look fab but most days I look like wurzel

My small dog is sitting in the kitchen, gazing at the shelf where her treats live. I can hear the occasional sad groan interspersed with angry yelps. I wish she wouldn't do this. I can't live with the guilt.

My aloe plant is looking a rather skinny.
Perhaps I should feed it up a bit..
It doesn't help that my neighbour regularly knocks it over when I put it outside for a while.

I found out something quite bad this week. Was very upset and had to take a stand on ethical grounds. I know I was right and others agree but it's been a big thing for me. Sorry. Being mysterious but I can't go into details. Why is life so complicated?!

Callistemon Sat 03-Aug-19 20:00:07

Oh no, Chewbacca!

I ate some cherries the other day then got tingling lips and tongue. Have just found out I must have a cherry allergy sad

Callistemon Sat 03-Aug-19 19:58:31

Apparently I’m dead. OMG whitewave I shouldn't be laughing so much that I'm shaking and accidentally nearly blocked, copied and pasted the whole page!

It's not funny.

We can all confirm that you are alive and kicking! grin

eazybee I can remember a colleague telling me years ago that she painted a cupboard, said to her husband 'how about that then!!' and then sat on the cupboard grin

DH was muttering about the bog seats the other day and wondered why they always swerve sideways these days! "They never used to do this" he shouted!!

Bellanonna Sat 03-Aug-19 19:42:10

Ouch Chewy. Has it left your lips looking as though Botox went wrong? Poor you, though, glad you’re (more or less) ok now. And lovely to see you by the way!

Barmeyoldbat Sat 03-Aug-19 19:41:04

Its Saturday evening I am still p....d off that I am getting nowhere with my to do list. They are only smallish things but I just cant get started.

PageTurner Sat 03-Aug-19 19:35:56

Poor Whitewave dead before she even knew it ?
If the bank classified her as dead, she no longer has to pay her bills, right?

No moans from me today. Hotter than Hades outside, but we have lovely air conditioning.

This thread is very entertaining, although I sympathize with all your troubles.

MissAdventure Sat 03-Aug-19 19:16:28

Chewbacca grin
Still, it could be worse; you could be dead like whitewave.

LadyGracie Sat 03-Aug-19 19:15:42

‘Oh my’ I’ve just broken the tooth off my denture, top front, only tooth on the darn thing!

Riverwalk Sat 03-Aug-19 19:10:37

Although I have to listen to his shit Abu grin

Ellan no wonder you're a bit loose after FOUR pork pies! grin

This thread is brilliant - even those with real problems are written with wit and humour smile

As for the woman who broke the toilet seat shock and all the noise grin

Lessismore Sat 03-Aug-19 19:01:38

Oh Lordy the lady with the toilet issues, quite impressed by a broken seat .....and no mention of said broken seat/

Chewbacca Sat 03-Aug-19 18:58:09

I went out for lunch to a nice country pub today and we sat in the garden to eat. Ate some lunch and then took a sip of my lager and lime. I hadn't seen the wasp that was clinging to the inside of the glass. The pain was indescribable; absolute instant searing agony. With a rapidly swelling bottom lip, my OH managed to pick out the sting that was still sticking out, so that helped a bit. I've got a bottom lip that looks like it's been run over by a truck and my teeth feel like they've been taken out with pliers and out back in with a hammer.

What is the point of wasps, may I ask? And why are they such aggressive little s**ts? angry

Lessismore Sat 03-Aug-19 18:58:07

Is the verb " to prang" Scottish, never heard it in many a long year.

Lessismore Sat 03-Aug-19 18:56:31

Whitewave, so sorry you are dead.

eazybee Sat 03-Aug-19 18:50:33

I painted a garden chair with gloss paint in the garage, and to make space for all the paint brushes, paint pots I used I moved my best Hunter wellies and placed them carefully on ....the painted chair.

This thread is hilarious.

GillT57 Sat 03-Aug-19 18:00:53

Merseybelle my mind is boggling grin

Bellanonna Sat 03-Aug-19 17:48:19

Merseybelle both your posts made me ? out loud!

Merseybelle2 Sat 03-Aug-19 17:43:02

gillybob - might take you up on that ! Getting more anally retentive ourselves the older we get so this will be the third bog seat since Christmas. I strongly suspect DH isn’t putting them on properly. His aim is rubbish as well ( not for number twos as even he can’t miss with those ) so have stains even on the wallpaper I’m ashamed to say. Just sent him to Wilko and told him to buy two so we’ve got a spare smile

gillybob Sat 03-Aug-19 17:15:01

I’ve got a new toilet seat waiting to be fitted MerseyBelle ( when Mr GB gets round to it that is) you can have my old one if you like . It’s only 8 year old, a little bit stained around the hinge area but still got a bit life in it yet grin

GrannyGravy13 Sat 03-Aug-19 17:11:58

I am even moanier (ok I know it’s not a word!!) now as Mr.Gravy has managed to get the bleep bleep bleep washing machine going, just as I had located a new 5minutes up the road and they could deliver today!!!
(Cannot beat good local shops)

gillybob Sat 03-Aug-19 17:11:37

I’m not sure where to put anything anymore confused

I’ve weeded my little front patch (I would be prosecuted under the trades description act for calling it a garden) so felt quite self satisfied .

I’m not “technically” moaning but now my legs are driving me nuts ! I’m tired but I can’t rest because of my stupid legs . Ok so I am moaning .

I just want to do something constructive . It’s Monday Eve, Eve for goodness sake !
