Sound alike way less arse and ear ache to keep the status quo then! 

Mine keeps wanting me to have them more, but I'm still working half days and filling the other half with projects! 

Definitely, that’s the way I want it to stay, it makes things easier for everyone going forward. 

As for your situation, you can only do what you can do, you are taking them & you still need to do your things out with & she should understand that?
Then again, saying that.....some women are hard to figure out at times.

Kettle's in the same place.  @Pillock ate all the pink wafers, but there are always some slightly oily custard creams somewhere...

Thanks chaseracer, I have not had a slightly oily custard cream for a long time...but I suspect they will be coming up when I get started on my Mercedes ?

Welcome back and no apologies required. If it got something off your chest and helped you to share, then this is indeed the right place to post it.

Thanks Cavcraft. Appreciated ??

I just wasn’t sure if this was the right thread to post it in. Yes, it does help get it off my chest.
It’s good to be back on here also, not that I was stopped from doing so, just life got busy until we broke up.

I know I'm not the only one, but this fucking situation is driving me to the brink. It's great having my littlun more at the moment, but I don't do well without routine. So many times I've drifted to 'that' dark place, it's worrying. Feels really silly writing it.

 

As a side point, my neighbours are still smoking weed out their windows upstairs, meaning we can't open our windows, and even if we don't, the smell comes in through the vents anyway. 

Estate agent said report to council / police. 

Council said report to police. 

Police didn't come back to the report. I'm sure it's not worth their time investigating a bit of weed usage. 

If it carries on much longer, they may have something more serious to investigate... ?

Just been shopping. Ooooooooo fuck me what a palaver. Had to queue to get in (which made me grumpy) watched a woman try to park in a space that was (in total honesty) big enough to park a decent size lorry in, she gave up eventually and drove off, limits on everything you could buy, loads of people with scarves pulled over their noses, the shop was filled with pissheads on their daily jolly to ill up on the booze isle, every front page of every newspaper had the same shit on it about coronavirus and Boris's fight with (he's sitting up in bed you know!) it and weeks more of the lockdown. To cap it all, I very nearly had to be served by the slowest woman on the planet but let someone else go in front of me so I didn't have to as her uselessness really annoys me.

Got out and set off and some twat bloke waved at me to slow down - I was doing about 15mph!

I am not going to survive for long at this rate as my blood pressure will kill me before any virus gets a fucking chance.

Fucking car insurance is due in May, every single quote website has jumped by £200 to nearly £600+ for my fourth year (3years NCB) insurance on a FUCKING K11. 

 

I am - close to just putting it on fucking sorn, wont matter using it since we are likely on a distance based lockdown soon.

Try Adrian Flux, dirt cheap (just shit if you have to claim). Tell them last years premium and see if they can beat it. 9/10 they will just to get the trade.

My partner hates the new bird table I've just made.
She reckons she should have come higher than 5th.

Saw that coming and went to big Saynesburies yesterday mid-afternoon. Short queue, took less than 5 mins to get in. Had everything I had been instructed to get though green veg was a bit thin on the ground (result!). Cashier waiting for me, so no delay there.

It don't help but in the Netherlands car insurance companies are returning money.  They have calculated that most are not using their vehicles. (What a surprise) Shame I don't live there .

I wish that was the same for everyone, the normal person, like us all. But, alas, it ain’t. 

[Cavcraft]

Imagine spending two or three hours trying to take the fucking rack off a Honda motorbike, and then imagine finding out there's two more hidden bolts and the bastard hasn't come off? Well, that.

[dozeydustman]

Nana dustman passed away about 5pm. Been expecting the call for at least a year as she’s just existed as opposed to lived. Relief and upset is a weird combination. 

Going to take a day or so off the forum. Can’t even spend time with my parents at they’re 90 miles away

[High Jetter]

I expect many of us will be thinking of you. I hope there's relief that it was inevitable and not due to Covid-19. Have a break from this and remember the good times you had with her.

Is this not the expenses of the MPs underpaid staff rather than the MP themselves?

 

There was a fairly real risk of Mrs L1 becoming an MP recently, and it would have been a pretty shit deal as far as I'm concerned.  Certainly a loss in real terms household finances.

I bet she's fucking loving her job at the minute ! such lovely and understanding customers and all that 

[Fumbler]

My left hand is fucked, a least for today. Was shovelling out compost that was in the compost bin (made out of pallets that were split in half) when my hand hit a nail, and the nail went in and up my hand and probably would have come out by my knuckle if I didn't stop because of the pain. Had my first fix of panic and post traumatic stress since Father Fumbler nearly died after he fell off of his bike 3 years ago, then started worrying myself to death as the nail was mildly rusty too. At least I had tetanus booster with my vaccines a couple years ago so I'm covered there. The area aches a bit, can't move my hand too much but it was washed with Dettol and water a couple of times and it's clotted too, so that's a plus. The muscle damage isn't good at all, but at least the tendons weren't harmed in any way...

You can think I'm a  horrible old cunt for all you want but I avoid her all the time, not just when there's a panic shopping spree and people going fucking mental. She is slower than continental drift and as devoid of personality as it is possible to be while remaining, basically, to qualify as a human being. I avoid her so I DON'T piss her off or stress her because regardless of my mood, I am rarely if ever rude or obnoxious to anyone let alone someone earning a few quid behind a till.

So...

[Cavcraft]

Yesterday's knobhead has been back on. I deleted all his messages, because, well he was pointless.

Anyhow, he's now decided he wants my car. GR8, except not very GR8 as he can't remember what car it was. For some obscure, unfathomable reason, you get this from time to time. People say they can't remember where they've seen the advert and ask 300 fucking questions answered on the advert they can't find. Anyhow, it's not worth getting back to them, to be honest. So bollocks.

He did ask the price, which I replied to, but ten minutes later he's decided he can't afford that so made an offer. An offer £100 above all he could afford yesterday. Still not enough.

Now he can't remember who he offered that much to, as he's messaged a few people.  Informed him it wasn't me as I wasn't selling mine for that.

TL:DR, verdict fruit cake.

Never met or spoke to you but fuck me that line really isn't nice reading

[Skut]

Mangled a 15mm mac strut pinch bolt...   Had been cleaned up with wire brush and wd40 multiple times befire attempt. Bought a fucking expensive rattle gun of 700 nm and thought I'd prepared enough. Oh there's no 15 mm in the impact sockets goes straight from 14 to 16 mm. Errr ok try with ordinary 15 mm socket no joy and quite loose. In irritation hammer brand new 14 mm Impact socket over bolt head and start rattling away. Nothing.. Try rattling other way briefly and then anti clockwise. Let it rattle away for 30 seconds straight, then small brief bursts Nada doesn't want to know. Pissed off bring out the breaker bar as at least the impact socket seems to have quite the grip. The fecker is flexing and eventually the bolt head deforms and the impact socket starts to work its way off.  Bastard. 

[sierraman]

Warm weather + Lockdown equals annoying neighbours. Blocked off a potential burglar route into the back garden on my land with some old prickly branches. Moaning old bastard next door is fucking whining about it. I wouldn’t mind but it’s on my fucking land!!!!

[Fumbler]

Went to hospital and I'm now in a sling. Wants me back in on Monday to check the swelling and so on. An improvement on things I guess.
