  2. Stupid Act Of The Day

    in Non Animal Chat

    Posted

    I want to crawl into a deep, dark hole and die :blush:

     

    For weeks I have had nothing to add to this thread and now, for me, the ultimate in Stupid Acts.

     

    The builders are here digging out the remains of the floor to our extension. They had to disconnect the outflow/waste pipes to do so, including the one from the bathroom, which now runs down the house wall to a foot off the ground where it opens up on the floor where they are digging.

     

    "do not empty out any water, use the bathroom this afternoon" I am warned.

     

    So I don't, thinking good god no way!

     

    BUT

     

    I do.

     

    10mins ago

     

    Then I make a cup of coffee for them all and merrilly make my way round the corner....

     

    "oooo, I'm not sure I want to be digging in that corner", says one of them

     

    and I look, and horrors of absolute horrors, a cold shiver runs down my spine as I realise a whole afternoon's worth of pee and poo, mine, is now bobbing along with lots of pieces of toilet roll :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy:

     

    Yes, I have now poo picked after myself, which is a novelty as it's usually just the dogs, with an audience looking on with their mugs of coffee in hand.

     

    I cannot face the outside world, ever again :mecry:

     

    Seriously, can that be topped? Quite possibly. If it can please tell as I need to know I am not the most stupid person going..... :huh:

     

     

    mwaaahaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OMG, that's priceless, I'm sick with laughter here :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

     

     

     

     

     

    :mecry: :mecry: :mecry:

     

    I am a prisoner in my own home. How will I ever face the builders again? worse still I've got another 2/3 months of them at least.

     

    I need to emigrate, really I do!

     

     

    Aww Helen, have a :GroupHug: :GroupHug:

  8. What To Do With Clothes That Are Now Too Big...

    in Non Animal Chat

    Posted

    I have also been pondering this and have come to the conclusion that the more expensive big clothes will be altered to fit, expensive stuff that I no longer like is going on ebay to fund alteratins, other good quality stuff will go to my local dog charity shop and finally, some stuff will be kept for dog walking/decorating outfits. Hope this helps :)

     

    And congratualations on the new slimmer new :GroupHug:

     

     

    I did similiar when I lost weight, I got one of my suits altered to make sure the dressmaker was good, and am now having them all taken in.Other stuff went to the charity shop :)

  10. Do You Open Your Partners Letters?

    in Non Animal Chat

    Posted

    my other half could care less, he doesnt sort anything that comes in the post anyway, he just hands it to me :wacko:

     

     

    Same here, but both of us open each others post all of the time with each other's permission, I've no problem with it, OH does tend to ask if I want him too, given that he works nights he's in when the post arrives, whilst I am at work, and when I travelled with work, it would at times have been up to a week before I got my post, so his opening it was practical.

     

    If he had a problem with me opening his mail I'd not.

  12. Please Spare A Thought For Dougal As He Makes His Way Over The Bridge

    in Animal Chat

    Posted

    I think my heart will break.

     

    Thank you so much for your messages and texts.

     

    I never expected to lose Dougal. He was a star, and I always said that he lived only to make people happy. He'd had a heart murmer since he was young, but only needed it managed in the last 2 years or so. He developed a cough we thought was just infection and it was being treated but tonight I could tell something was very very wrong.

     

    I got him to the vet just in time. He wanted to go and I couldn't keep him here for me, so I told him to go and meet Buster at the Bridge, and he slipped away peacefully with me holding him.

     

    Dougal mate, you were loved by all and you mended my heart and Buster's when you arrived, and you'll never ever be replaced in that heart of mine. I miss you, it won't be the same without you, peanut.

     

    Sleep tight Doughnut, wait for me at the Bridge, and keep Buster in line for me. I'm glad you had him and Smirnoff to meet you, and Tanzi too. All friends back together again.

  14. Adoption

    in Non Animal Chat

    Posted

    In the 70s in Ireland ( and it may well have been later ) if a child was born to a single mother and had no fathers name on the birth certificate the child was not eligible for adoption and was placed in a "home" with the Nuns ,

     

     

    Its very different back home now , one of my cousins in Ireland had a child out of wedlock and with no partner ( he had done a bunk ) and it was no scandal ( maybe a bit of gossip but no scandel )

     

    However just one generation earlier a women in the same position as my cousin had to take the option of the nuns ( and travel to a home in the country to have the baby in secret ) or if she was lucky maybe travel to the UK and place the child for adoption with a catholic agency in the UK ( who could/would place a "bastard" child with a new family )

     

     

    it really is in living memory ( both in the UK and Eire ) that women had to give up babies no if ands or buts

     

    The other take on this too was that parents would bring up a child's child (i.e. their grandchildren) as their children, I'd two girls in school with me who were their "sister's" daughters.

  25. Unwanted Hair

    in Non Animal Chat

    Posted

    I felt one of the little blighters on my chin at work this afternoon. I couldn't get my tweezers out & start plucking in the office, so I had to wait until I got home & plucked the bugger out.

     

    Oh I have a tweezers (well two actually in case one get's lost) in my handbag, and have many an emergency dash to the bathroom in work to remove offending hairs. :biggrin:
