Jazz, your dogs obviously have good taste by annoying the housing lady Lol, i hope you manage to get something sorted out...must be very frustrating Gooster..... hope you are now feeling much better HLGS ..... yes we want piccies!!!! Whizzie, glad that the lawnmower has turned up...eventually Apologies to anyone i have missed rant coming up...... i can't believe what bad manners some people can have, my dad has just got another car and offered to give his old car to a "friend" who is carless, jobless and dad thought it would be nice for him to have the car, dad offered him the car on sunday..... the fella was chuffed to bits and dad asked him to sort out insurance quote .... today is thursday and i have been chasing him for days. eventually got hold of him this morning where upon he announces that he doesn't want the car.... that is fine, he reckons the insurance was £3000...we have checked it was £900... now i don't have a problem with the fact that he doesn't want the car, the fact he has obviously lied about checking insurance and then not even bothered telling us he didn't want the car i do have a problem with, the insurance is up on saturday and it needs a valet as i think i may have a buyer so basically due to his rudeness i have about 24 hours to get things sorted. if somebody had offered me a BMW for free i would have fallen over myself to check things out and then promptly inform them that unfortunately the insurance was too much for me, i am proper annoyed!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooster Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hope Diez is ok On my way back from speed dating. First one I have been to that I stayed sober at There were some right weirdos, one in particular called Eddie There were some nice guys there, but scarily I didn't get on as well with them as Mr G or even Mr Grumpy It was lovely to see my friend Laurie again, not seen her since I left my previous job in May. Definitely going to see her more often now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophie Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Glad you had fun at the speed dating Jayne. Today will mostly be spent trying to stay awake - the doctor has doubled one of my migraine meds and it is making me rather snoozy. Interspersed with that will be an attempt to get some work done! I'm very much looking forward to the weekend. May go to a local agility show on sunday if it stays dry, otherwise I have some coursework to get done and no other plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Good luck for Diez for Monday. I shall will think positive thoughts for her. It's nissing down here. Ah well the lakes could do with a top-up I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Somebody sent Ruby a missive from Paris on the 31st Jan. The sender addressed it correctly but forgot to add UK or England after the county and post code. It arrived today having been on a trip to Barbados! It's taken ages to travel back but good on the postal workers there for identifying that Cumbria is in the UK and for the re-direction However I can't help but wonder what part of our address lead the French post office to believe we were in Barbados Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 A friend forwarded this to me via email this morning. We had to take "his seat" out of our van so we could fit a dresser in the back. He has been sitting like this, waiting to go for a ride for the past 15 minutes. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've suffered migraines for ages , almost daily and been in hospital for severe one. Recently a friend tried Bowen on me and said there was a problem with my neck. Until she made me go through various neck movements i'd never realised how limited or painful my neck was, shes done 3 sessions and the migraines have eased dramatically so they were obviously liked in with my neck. Dont get me wrong its not a complete cure but instead of being dosed up daily with painkillers i only need them once or twice a fortnight. The relief is wonderful!
