What Made You Want To Swear Today?

[caro]

I'm thinking of changing from Orange. Signal just gets worse and worse round here and t-mobile hasn't helped one bit. Then of course they've been putting prices up mid-contract.

[Nystagmite]

Someone from work had this too. He was annoyed as doing what he can already and thought this was a cheek.

 

I think many people do give what they can. I sometimes donate money to RNIB (and did a sponsored event for them) when I buy items from them. I have never once been asked to donate any more money to them.

[caro]

Years ago my brother had a few filling stations and wanted to donate 1p a gallon (it was that long ago!) up to £1k to Guide Dogs for the Blind. My family had always supported them, raising money and I used to help out looking after the dogs who were in training when I was a teenager. They refused because of their agreement with Andrex so they lost a lot of goodwill from us, especially when we realised that at the time they were one of the most well off charities.

Serious bad day!

 

1) Helping a friend out with her horse while she's ill and the flippin' thing decked me in a lovely big puddle!!

2) Came home and put filthy and soaking clothes in washer - then washer proceeded to spurt water from the drawer area for no apparent reason until my kitchen resembled a puddle.

3) Went upstairs to get in the bath and turned the light on - flash and a bang and out went the lights. Old fashioned fuse box - not a scooby doo what to do with that!

Then stubbed my toe plugging lamps into random sockets around the house!

 

On the upside I have just opened a big tin of 'Christmas' chocolates to cheer myself up!

[caro]

Sounds a bit like my last few days freddie.

 

We've had power cut so I had to pack by torchlight for a couple of days away , car cut out on motorway, attended a funeral, car cut out again after it was repaired, and a trip to A&E in an ambulance at 6.30 this morning with my husband in agony after falling last night. Xray shows no bones broken but his back's still very painful.

[freddie b]

Not good Caro

 

Have some chocolate - it's cheered me up a bit. Well it's better than getting drunk alone on a Sunday night at any rate...........lol

 

Hope your hubby feels better soon - had a painful back myself a few time courtesy of my job and it's awful.

[Nystagmite]

Hope your hubby is better soon, Caro.

 

People who are so picky.

[caro]

Thanks both. My daughter bought me and hubby a big bar of chocolate each which was rather nice. OH can't drink with all the pills he's on so I'd have to get drunk alone too ....... Might be a thought .......

 

Just let if flow over you Nys. Life's too short.

The seizure button in my head is peeing me off.

Carefully protecting my tongue I tried to mash last night, didnt get much sleep and when nodded offf, wham, my brain is taking the pi** and tongue swelling up so my cuppa tastes like carp. Jaw ache and I havnt been nagging, hows that for hard done by xx

 

At least dont feel I have jogged the london marathon this time, but seriously getting peed off how frequent they are getting lately. Taking piccies now for record as when asked, cant remember.

 

Off to try and get some sleep, perhaps too long on the lapp top last night? Any one got any ice lollies:oops:

DWP and their decision makers inability to read and use common sense. (apparently, I have no reading difficulties - I've got around 25% vision left)

[babybear39]

Have received DLA renewal forms for next April...

 

Received letter from DWP advising I need another medical with ATOSsers before then as well

 

In January/February and March 2010 many of you know I suffered septicaemia, hyperthermia, numerous cardiac arrests, coma for five weeks, major organ failure including liver, kidneys and brain damage. Tissue, nerve and bone damage. Had to learn to do most motor functions again including walking. The extent of my disabilities is still being assessed because the set of circumstances I went through should have killed me, many times over.

 

Well, they can all go and f themselves because I'm here, staying here and still fighting

 

I would dearly love a job especially as the things I'm qualified and experienced in could be done from home via computer, but my profession is in serious decline and even trusted and good previous employers are more inclined to give the work to able bodied people. It's not their fault. Journalism is a cut throat occupation at best and even a little slip on a deadline could cost an editor hundreds, even thousands of pounds...

 

BRING IT ON CONDEMS AND ATOSSERS

Babybear will not be beaten:-) xx

I often wonder if atos come from that planet they dropped the people off in the predator films:madgrin:

I know what you are on about burlyb... I have had some of the same rubbish from bank staff before. I'm sure a lot of bank staff go ou of their way to cause trouble. Some break the banks procedures but never seen to get punished....

 

Bring in the stocks, I will get some rotting fruit to throw at them...

[Nystagmite]

Babybear - that's disgusting.

 

Last night - coming in from a run and almost fainting.

[determindator]

Be careful with a phone [problem]. I had a phone call yestday company asked for my son. Alarm bells in head said anyone who wants my son will have his mobile. I said I don't know who you are and write to this address said thank you and goodbye. When I put the phone down I remembered that when I first picked up the house phone there was a ringing tone like I was ringing someone. I told my son what happened and he said it's a [problem] whereby that ringing tone connects you to a premium number and charges you:x Good job I was only on there for seconds! Can you imagine the people there're ringing who have no idea that while they are chatting on the phone they are being billed for it, the vulnerable etc. I will have to report to Fraud Squad and Oftel I've got their number:jaw:
