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.

It's my birthday and I've been down with a sickness bug since yesterday. It has now hit my 2 girls.

Finally feeling a bit better this evening since the rest has been a washout I decided I'd nip out and bring back a takeaway as a birthday treat (my daughters are paying).

I've gone to leave the house and my door won't unlock so I'm now sitting waiting on an emergency joiner coming out as we are stuck in and they can't give me a timeframe.

Happy birthday to me! ?

Glammy57 Thu 15-Aug-19 15:31:22

I had to get the bus into town today. It was absolutely jam packed with tourists many of them with huge backpacks on which they seem to forget about as they turn round to speak to their friends and whack others (me!) in the face. They get on the bus, don't know how much to pay, have a chat about who's got change, ask the poor driver where the bus is actually going and delay everyone who is just trying to get to work. To cap it all they then complain that the other passengers aren't very friendly. We're not!!

mabon - Carol the weather woman, David Tennant, Sarah Smith to name but a few.
All with "impenetrable accents"?

I believe that Maw anno marydoll and myself, to name a few more, all have very different Scottish accents but I do believe that we might just manage to make ourselves understood by anyone who isn't simply looking for yet another opportunity to criticise everything Scottish.

Today's cafe trip with DGD - one big dog races in ahead of its owner and sticks its head in her buggy and licks her face. Five minutes later, another owner is happily letting one of her dogs climb all over the table. Yuk.

Is there a charity which supports people with sore bums?

The Pain in the Ass Society?

MissAdventure Thu 15-Aug-19 14:28:23

I have 2 big bags of stuff to take to the charity shop.
It means getting on the bus with them (and me with such a pain in my buttock!)
Bin or charity?
I know charity will win, but I'm just too lazy.

Shouldn't be allowed !

Anyway as we were..... Its grey and miserable here in the North East. I have got nothing in for supper and can't be ar*ed to go shopping after work, or even cook .

MissAdventure Thu 15-Aug-19 14:19:31

smile silly gilly!
Making us laugh on a moaning thread. Ha!

gillybob Thu 15-Aug-19 14:17:17

I am imagining hens wearing white Lycra catsuits, strutting around like Freddie Mercury !

All together now...…. Day.....Oh...…..Daaaaaayyyyy…….Oh grin

Lessismore Thu 15-Aug-19 14:13:00

Do they wear little hippie dresses and crochet tops?

Oldandverygrey Thu 15-Aug-19 14:10:24

Wondering if Bohemian hens have started laying yet,

Just had a denture made but problem with a tooth so have had to have it out. It split in 2 and they hadn't given me enough anaesthetic so nearly went through th ceiling. Just over the 2 month NHS deadline so had to pay £65 and have another tooth added to denture. Wait 3 months for gum to completely heal and get its shape and then will have to pay £270 for the privilege of having a new denture. Since last August have literally lived at the dentist for several weeks having to go twice a week. P* off as I have always tried to look after my teeth but losing more every year ?. Oh so good to have a vent.x

mabon ,this was supposed to be a slightly tongue in cheek nod at life's irritations.

Miss A, I was once interviewed by a 12 year old in leopard skin leggings. An unedifying experience.

I suggest you first box on your motivation sheet should read " get to the bottom of health issue"

Our expensive new windows, installed in June, are misting up. Awaiting visit from company to explain why and what they will do a out it!

MissAdventure Thu 15-Aug-19 12:50:27

My bum cheek is killing me!

Callistemon Thu 15-Aug-19 12:35:49

NotSpaghetti they will probably send the old passport back separately by 2nd class post.

MissAdventure Thu 15-Aug-19 11:27:11

I have a 'behavioural activation' worksheet to do, to try and help with my lack of motivation. (Sent to me from a therapist who sounded about 12)

I can't be bothered to fill it in though!

annsixty Thu 15-Aug-19 11:17:41

My Thursday friend ( she takes me out for coffee and shopping) has just rung to say she cannot make it.
Fair enough, but she has known since Monday and I was getting ready.
My S who is living with me since my H died has started getting very impatient with me and that isn't going to go on for much longer.
I am getting intolerant.

gillybob Thu 15-Aug-19 11:13:19

Oh I see you haven't changed your style mabon1 grin

Re; the Scottish accent …. as a terribly refined Geordie, I find that if you just smile, nod and say "see, you, see her, see him" It normally covers everything wink

mabon1 Thu 15-Aug-19 11:07:45

Get over it, be gratful that you can even get out of bed.

NotSpaghetti Thu 15-Aug-19 11:05:22

Just recieved a new UK passport and they haven't sent the old one back. I know I don't need it but feel pretty sad about it. I specifically asked for its return when sorting it out at the post office.
Since my first passport many years ago I've liked having a new one and have a little stack of old ones. They are interesting to look at and remember happy times.

This one however, is really not very nice. Sort of "messy" somehow... with the photo page in the "wrong" place and busy designs on every page and information on how secure it is actually printed in it in tiny grey print.
So disappointed.
Just wanted a moan!
