Linds, that's always my worry about tradesmen

I don't mind paying for a service, BUT, when they work like idiots, it makes me so mad and I feel vulnerable

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :-|

Gins - consider yourself brained ;-)

I am turning into my Aunt - she used to say that no-one nowadays can do their job properly.

I knew how she felt today :-(

Guys come to do the radiators - an hour late - they do remove one and leave it in the driveway.

Within 5 minutes the travellers in the white van arrive and ask if they can have it :-)

Saves us having to dispose of it

Then they take the other one off, leave it in driveway - same thing. They even lifted the brackets.

Then the s**t hits the fan. New one doesn't fit. :-(

Our fitters had ordered the correct size BUT the suppliers had sent that was bigger so too high to fit under the window :-S

Replacement not coming until Tuesday :-|

OH sees the white van people parked along the road - goes and asks them to bring the radiator back (it was a different van but part of the same group)

He tells them they can have it back next week (I am at this point having a fit of the giggles at asking for it back)

Yes will do. NO they didn't . We are now sitting with one radiator and a space where the other one should be :-|

Why in the words of my aunt can people not do their jobs???

GD arrives and asks where it is and says she will buy me one :-D

Aaargh!!

I think you would like to brain me!


No 2 arrived to move the car off the drive and take it to the mechanic.

It's been stood on the drive for so long, it didn't move when the hand break was released........wouldn't mind but the drive is on quite a steep incline!

Dropped the keys with the mechanic who is going to come and get it tomorrow

Gins - Selwyn Froggitt ?? Not sure whether to thank you or brain you ;-)


The guys are here doing the radiators. Only arrived an hour late :-(

It might look lovely and sunny outside but when they are in and out and doors are open it's cold :-(

Hope they are finished before the girls arrive.

That is exactly what I chose Cynths - 'Great minds think alike' ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Good morning... :-D


Thank you for breakfast Dea....I rather like the sound of 'a mixture of all of the above' so that's what I will go for..... :-D



Very quick thinking of you Linds.........well done.



Cool but chilly here but the sun is shining and spring is on it's merry way.... :-D :-D




Hope Jonesey is okay.......haven't seen him around...... :-S


Are you alright Mr. Jones?.......... <3

OOOhh Linds - Thank goodness you reacted so quickly !!! and that the tea was not hot enough to scald her ! - You would never have forgiven yourself :-0 :-( :-(

Poor little thing must have wondered what was happening when you grabbed her out of there and whipped half her clothes off but at least she was O.K. :-)

Good morning everyone :-)

The weather doesn't look toogood at the moment but apparently it is going to be a lovely day .........

Breakfast choice today is:

Fresh Croissants and Danish Pastries,

Porridge,

Boiled Eggs and toast soldiers

Poached eggs on crumpets,

Bacon butties,

Sausages, grilled tomatoes, grilled muchrooms, fried bread

Or a mixture of any or all of the above.

Help yourselves please.

Dea Xxx <3

Linds, you're like a female version of Selwyn Froggitt!!!!!

Windows............didn't realise that the inside sills had not been included in the quote.

Spoke to the guy and he said if I'd had white frames, he would have chucked them in for free

He has to colour them cream and I am waiting for a quote!

Kettle is on.....................................

Dea,

We were up early for the girls and I took the chance to pop on and clear some emails :-)

Gins good save ;-) It's good to get all your loose ends tied up. at your age we wouldn't want you tripping over anything might break something runs fast >>>>>>>

Our radiators are being done at 9am tomorrow.

We took the girls to the park to feed the ducks and swans.

Then went into the café for a cuppa O had a babychino and pancakes.

The table was too small for all the plates ,cups etc and as I was reaching across to give F a bit of pancake I knocked my cup of tea over and it went all over her legs :-(

Luckily it wasn't hot barely warm I did react quickly by pushing the highchair away from the table.

Grabbed her out of it and whipped off her leggings she wasn't even marked :-D

PHEW!!!

Then my mobile rang it was the guys delivering the radiator (they were meant to call me 10 minutes before they were coming)

Just as well we weren't far away ;-)

Just hope they have the radiators finished before we get the girls at lunchtime :-)

I see the dreaded 'error message' is back - it has taken me nearly half an hour to get back on here :-(

Been out for a nice lunch and then I caught up with the final couple of episodes of 'Call the Midwife.'

Dea x

Just caught the window cleaner...........Nooooooooooooo

Not paying a tenner, when we have new ones soon!

Just phoned the window guys.....coming the week after next

I don't like the puff of air in the eye either....Cyns, OH is a little brave soldier

Had a day of tying up lose ends.........feel much better, accounts sorted, other admin sorted

..................but no marking done :-(

My you are an early bird today Linds :-D :-D

Like you, I do not like it when they puff air onto your eye for the test but my one extremely embarassing time that I remember was many years ago when I had some sort of test where I had to put mychin onto a rest and my head touched against a metal thing going around my forehead, then something came towards me and actually touched my eyeball.

Well, as it aproached, my eye just closed tight and I couldn't re-open it without prising the lid up and holding it there with my fingers. I was SO embarassed but I didn't seem to have any control over my eyelid - It just shut tight every time the 'thing' came near to me. :-0

Anyway, we managed to get through it and thankfully I haven't had that same test again :-S

Dea Xxx

Morning everyone,

Dry, sunny and still cold. Think we will take the girls to the park after lunch :-D

Cynthia your OH is very brave having those injections in his eye.

I hate getting the little puff of air in my eye when you are getting an eye test :-)

Off to tidy up (waste of time really cos the girls are here) then it will be time to pick up O from nursery :-)

Morning all...and thank you for the muffins Gins..... :-D




Not sure about the injections Dea.....he will be speaking to the consultant next time. It would be good if things soon settle down because the lenses in his specs need altering I suspect.



Picking up children and son later - belated pancakes for them... :-D



Gorgeous morning so I think a walk is in order...

Good morning all :-)

Thank you for the tea and muffins Ginns - they are yummmyyy !!! <3

Cynths, your OH is indeed very brave, I know I wouldn't like having to have all those injections in my eyes :-(

I thought it was just a course of treatment he was having - does he have to have this done for ever now ?

Hope your son is soon mobile again - 'It never rains but it pours' does it ? :-( :-(

Wishing everyone a lovely day. <3

See you all later,

Dea Xxx

Mornin all~~~~~~~

Kettle is on and muffins are under the grill

Cynthia hope your son is ok.

Even when our kids are adults we still worry about them <3

Hello everyone,

I finally made it out to lunch with the friends I had to cancel on when I had my fight with the pavement last year.

One of them stays abroad but is over for a visit. It was good to catch up.
Then I went to make an opticians appointment and they had a free slot :-D

So have now picked new specs :-D
