AlabamaShrimp Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Mrs Shrimp just told me her mates son has put his car for sale on gumtree and getting nothing but dickheads. Really I would never have guessed. As they've pissed him off he decided to try we buy any car. It's a fucking 1986 mk2 Golf CL they'll offer about 10p as it is he only wants £1800. I asked has he not tried anywhere else? No it's stressing him out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dozeydustman Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 To be fair, an hour of Emmerdale would likely bore the best of us into truffling out the ringpiece. There are some pretty girlies in it (especially the MILF that is Moira), the Mrs watches it seriously (but that's what women do). A cat grooming itself constantly for an hour is really excessive. Just been flea & worm treated. TBH all it does is miaow for food, sleep or lick its arse all day. Won't go out, won't play with toys. Just got in from work and the little fucker has puked everywhere. Stepdaughter been in all day, unaware of pile of puke as teenage disinterest in anything that isn't on the interweb, because it doesn't exist. And to top the festering dog turd of a day with a rotten cherry, council tax final demand in the post. We've not even been sent the bill to set the direct debit up yet. I'm in a real mood now.

Mr A Lawrence Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Tacuma went away on Tuesday for MoT, having run out on Saturday. It failed, on brake pipes, a couple of tyres and some other minors. I've been phoning the garage, authorising the jobs. Still no tyres; brake pipes done; airbag light dodgy (which tbf I knew because it's been like that all the time I've had it). Not going to have it back now until Monday.Fridge and cupboards increasingly empty. Neither of us is up to much walking.

leanycan Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Temp contract jobs. Finally got myself out of a shit ton of debt and actually seeing a little savings build up. On the search for a perm job before my contract runs out and the agency I’m with have informed the contract could be cut short by a few months. Absolute buggery... expected to get a good 5 months work and not have to worry about paying bills or getting into more debt. Hopefully they get their arse into gear and sort it out...

To be fair I think they have over recruited but there is a high staff turnover with about 35% if staff on temp contracts.

We've just been through the same with our cat - overgrooming to the point he'd swallowed loads of hair then sicking it back up (over me, or the new carpet). Could be an allergy of some kind, there's various things you can try but switching to a hypoallergenic food worked for us, Arthur is now being sick once a week rather than every day.

Cavcraft Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Don't really know what you're moaning about, TBH. I phoned the RSPCA and told them that there was a pole cat clinging onto my ceiling fan and asked if could they come and collect it. They said they didn't believe me, but in the end they took my whirred ferret. jayroller, purplebargeken, cort16 and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSounds like my work, loads of temp staff being taken on constantly but hardly any stick around because they get 14 hours of work a week if they're lucky and there is no progression in the role.

Emailed the temp agency about the contract and they have said it is week by week at the moment. Annoying as I was told it was a guaranteed 5 month FTC.

It’s more the poxy horrible racket she makes when grooming that gets my goat. I am hypersensitive to the sound of people eating as well, I have to excuse myself from the table if people slup their food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymous user Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I thought that I would adjust the door mirror slightly, but being a cack-handed fool I managed to shear the casting instead. You will hardly notice my temporary seamless repair I may try some chemical metal type stuff, but more sensibly I will get a new one on order, looking forward to trying to undo the bracket, I'll probably end up needing a new door hinge/door/bulkhead Christine, Tickman, lesapandre and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
