What Made You Want To Swear Today?

[**Tilly**]

I found out an ex-bf died last year from testicular cancer. Past history but still it's a shock to read about it when he was 3 years of my life. That's 4 of my ex's that are gone..perhaps I'm a jinx

 

Did I mention the parking ticket., wrongly issued..not a good day. And we still have a flipping gas leak outside that's worse since they drilled holes everywhere.

 

Rant over..feel better now.

 

There can't be much more left i think you've had it all, time to chill me thinks;-)

your getting me depressed

Hi Crapstone,

 

It's strange you should post that. A couple of days ago for no reason I suddenly thought of an ex of mine from many, many years ago, did a search and he has apparently died too. Like you, I thought it was four ex's, but now it's five. Of course, the utter B****** of an ex-husband is still going strong.

 

It makes me feel so old .

 

Big hug to you.

Tell me about it! Chill ...I will. It's bloomin' freezing but I'm a snow baby and love it ...bring on the snow..!

 

Sorry Tilly..didn't mean to get you down with my grumbles. Can't forget that handbag episode and that always makes me smile

I guess it is the feeling old bit. Only 2 of them I cared about and the last one ended up with a chicken and mushroom pot noodle poured over his head as my parting gift.

Yep - heard it was your turn next! Stock up today PF, we can't get bread & milk from local shops as deliveries can't get through and we can't go shopping further cos we can't get our cars out (no snow ploughs) and no buses running even if you walk down to main roads. Schools & colleges closed as well.

Oh Crapstone, that did make me laugh. You are a girl after my own heart. I thought I was the only one who did things like that.

[SOD'EM]

I couldn't find the letter we received from my sons school saying when the new term begins, so I looked it up on their website. That said Tuesday 5th January. Goes to the school and there was nobody there and gates lost. Came home and then found the said letter which said Wednesday 6th January:mad:.

 

Other son has just been sent home from school due to adverse weather conditions and they have told us already that they will be closed tomorrow. we only have about 2 inches of snow. Do they know something we don't?

Before Christmas applied for an online ISA with First Direct - recently sent off the form they supplied together with a chq for the full amount to be deposited. Just had a phone call saying I don't match their criteria for banking and they are returning my chq:eek: I don't want a sodding current account - I'm only trying to put money IN their bank:mad::mad: Girl couldn't tell me why I have been turned down but said anyone applying for banking or savings goes through the same process checks.

Fed up with snow and ice now, we've had it since the 19th of Dec (with two days of a thaw) Braking ice on the animals water troughs twice a day so the sheep and cattle can get a drink, moving bails of hay so they've got something to eat, and thats before I start my 'proper' work !!

 

Then Long Lex just about gets home from work with a mate who can't get home because his lane is blocked, so it looks like I've got a lodger till this lot goes !!

[pompeyfaith]

Blimey it is half a foot already and still no let up.

 

Wonder if my rubbish bin will be collected tomorrow? no info on council website yet.

 

But i think they will say in the interests of crew safety there will be no collections which is great as its overflowing due to xmas.

[sillygirl1]

Not one flake here.... wonder what it will be like when I get up in the morning.

 

One of my colleagues is going on holiday tomorrow and we have been winding her up about getting snowed in at the airport (she is going from Heathrow)... wonder if she will make it okay.
