snow Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Aaaaaaaaaand things continue to fall apart at chez Snow, hubby has no tv to watch (broken sky box) no dog to walk (broken leg) and no laptop to play on (overheated and died) so hubby is bored - now this is bad enough at the best of times but when theres nothing to distract him ......... so here was I sitting quietly surfing the net when from below arises the following ... CRAAAAAAAACK followed by "oh no!" followed by a very subdued ummmm love.... I've done it now...... seems hubby decided to change the lightshade in the lounge now that they have phased out the filament bulbs as our lightshades are uplighters and won't fit the halogen type bulbs - now this didn't need doing just yet as I had only recently changed the bulbs but he decided now was a good time ... first one went fine... 2nd one the entire plastic light setting disintegrated in his hand leaving oooo I dunno a good 6 inches of bare LIVE wires dangling in the middle of my lounge ceiling so now we have them taped up out the way so my 6'6 tall hubby doesnt electrocute himself walking thru the lounge I am now at the giggling stage .... I mean it's just fecking surreal ... now I have to book and electrician to come as well as the sky engineer.... I think hubbys going for the full set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melp Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hello fugees. I still have no smiles. Ok so I've been a crap fugee, shite mod and even shiter frend to peeps this last few months. I have no idea whats happening with people but I know I missed important posts by people I care very much for. I'm sorry, I've had my head up my arse. My news is as follows I am still living on £24 a week and my hours have been cut from 8 to 3 so I've lost wages as well. Hopefully I'll get an increase in IS but if not I'm selling body parts to anyone wishing to purchase a lung or something. Good news is that I should finally be getting some help with the mortgage, which is currently in arrears [the Building Society have been brilliant thankfully] Dennis has had a traumatic time after he almost got attacked by a stray dog and slipped his collar, running out into traffic! The other dog also went into the road and got clipped by a car. He ran off and I spent ages trying to find him but had no luck. I hope he's ok. Lady luck was on our side that day and thankfully I didn't collapse into a quivering wreck until I'd got Dennis settled and was on the way home. [Dennis was staying with Michael for the weekend] Dennis is currently in the vets and will be having a dental and some nasty looking warts removed tomorrow. He's only in tonight because he panicked that much getting there it was better for him to stay than to come home and have to go back! Dental plus warts=£397.80 Trevor will have to pay. Big shocker today. Trev came over after a hospital appointment to tell me that he wants the children to live with him. I never expected that and I'm still reeling from it. Anddddd, I have a man. Well I haven't got him exactly but we are seeing each other. He's not a new man, he's someone I've known and liked very much for a while. Trevor knows and isn't happy. The kids don't know and don't need to. Tracey, Alex Merle and Wendy, I know your dogs have been /are ill and I'm sorry I haven't posted on your threads.

Abby Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) Hi Melps Nice to hear from you but sorry you're having such a rubbish time still Good about the man though Kev told me to leave the bar earlier "before I depressed everyone else there" What he meant to say I'm sure is "Darling, why don't you go upstairs and relax while I take care of this rabble". he did send me up with wine though I yam feeling flat without our friends. I wish they were closer, preferably within spitting distance Edited September 1, 2009 by Abby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houndzrus Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 RMF : No doubt today will be another of those SSDDs What's that please? Fee. I found some mince in the freezer that I had bought to cook for Spike. Printed on it was "use before Aug 14th". I wish I had, that's the day he died. Why do the little things upset us so much? Can I have some good thoughts for my friend Carol who gets the results of her scan today. After four bouts of chemo, she will know if the cancer is diminishing and whether she can have an op. Three weeks ago she had 12 litres of fluid drained from her abdomen and it's just started to come back. She needs all the good thoughts we can send.

JulesB Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Morning folks Lovely morning here, I have been creeping about in the woods to see if the hedgehog I released last night is around. Don't laugh, but while I was tryng to find a bit of dense undergrowth to place it in I fell over in the pitch black, landed flat on my back and banged my head - I couldn't put my hands out to break the fall as I was holding the hedgehog. I just laid there for a bit in the mud, feeling a right plonker and glad that there was no one around to see the comedy fall. My back is fairly agonizing this morning. Gigantic for Melp, Fee and all the other Fugees having a rough time or feeling sad and fed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
