A place to rant about things that wind you up ( keep it clean lol)

We’re with BT and got a digital landline phone when we changed plans. I’ve yet to plug it in as the extension is full. The other alternative is to plug it into the wall but I’m not sure the cable is long enough. We rarely use the landline anyway. I don’t call from it and we only get cold calling. All relatives call on our mobiles. The older two have mobiles so I don’t know that it’s useful having it plugged in…I did have one plugged in before but it was on mute…

Honestly I had the openreach engineer move the master socket because it'd be closer to the wall sockets. Now in the end it turns out it was unnecessary but I thought he'd give me trouble over the request, and he just kinda shrugged and said taking the old one out would make everything untidy so he just put a second one in lol.

It was more necessary for the landline before I moved because the slightest hint of bad weather in the last place and my signal would practically disappear. And nobody wants to walk down two flights of stairs and go stand outside when you're trying to call the DWP, haha.
 
Not sure if this is a thing that winds me up but I wanted a rant and didn't want to start another thread.

The boys are on long term Emeraid. Coupled with their Baytril and some Liver Support they're actually doing well and have even gained a bit of weight.

But Critical Care isn't exactly cheap. So I thought I'd give Emeraid Sustain a go. It's about £8 cheaper and having read the differences between the two, it should do what we need.

They hate it. Both of them. Even Dash who normally scoffs anything. I had at least hoped he would eat it and then I could use up the open bag on him before going back to CC.

They're currently rioting behind me as I haven't given them their usual CC breakfast. I do have some but need to get started on work so they'll have to wait a little bit.

Bah.
 
One of mine would only take Burgess Dual Care. It comes in small sealed bags in the box, if you PM me your address I'll send you some to try. It comes as small pellets that melt in water, you can also feed it as a pellet which is why I like it, when it's going out of date I feed the pellets to use it up. @CV26.
 
Yesterday was a REALLY expensive day. Our tv stopped working so I was going to buy a new one yesterday. I also had the car in for an oil change and tire rotation and to check it out for a small squeak sound it was making. That squeak sound was so expensive! :yikes: Part of my shocks had exploded and both back shocks needed to be replaced. I was debating if I should still buy the tv, but bought it anyway. I can handle living without a tv, but I cannot handle living with my three year old living without a tv. Had another small thing break yesterday too, but I'm going to try supergluing it back together.
 
Oh, I'm not done. Just got back from running errands, and guess what is still there. Squeak. I'm not a happy camper right now. The manager had sent me an email asking if I was satisfied and I let her know that the squeak is still there. Waiting to hear back. I mean, I spent over $700 to fix the car and the squeak is still there. :hb: I assumed that they did test drive it after the repair, but I guess not.
 
Thank you @piggieminder , that's very kind of you. They've tried the Oxbow one in the past - Spud didn't like but Dash sort of did. But I think I'll just stick to the Critical Care - it's a guaranteed win even if it is more expensive. It was worth a shot though.

Dash has begrudgingly eaten the Sustain so I'll have another go tomorrow to see how willingly he goes for it just to see whether I can avoid it being wasted.
 
Something moved in the kitchen.

You know that sound pans make when they jostle? Something made that noise in the kitchen. I pulled open the cupboard doors and got a torch out like I'm some sort of brave man but honestly if something was alive in there I'd've been halfway down the street before I'd've had a chance to think. But there was nothing. Nada. Not even any sign of poop. The only poop I can find in the kitchen is the stray ones from upstairs.

But something definitely moved in that kitchen.
 
I bought mum an afternoon tea gift voucher for Christmas at a lovely little tearoom. With how poorly she's been this year we haven't been yet but were hoping to go next week. They posted a facebook status saying they had now shut permanently. I'm sad for them, but really sad for mum too as she now has a present that is quite literally a waste of paper.

I’m so sorry to hear that. I know it’s not the point but is there another tea room you could go to? And are they not refunding etc?

We've spent an hour today researching and found about four different places that are possible with bus travel and distance etc. Apparently you can get afternoon tea in bird cages, on a picnic bench and on a mini shelving unit. I'm already dreaming of all the pretty pictures I could take! We are going to choose one for next week and then for summer for my birthday.

They sound amazing. Enjoy your time together. 😍
 
Fill bucket from outside water tap, occasionally add bleach to the bucket, tip the water into the brown bin. That bin is rank, lol. Not sure where I'm going to put the water to empty it, mind you. Might leave that particular conundrum til tomorrow.

Is your brown bin a Wheelie bin? Could you not just tip the water down a drain in the road?

I'm tempted but the problem is getting the bin onto the street in the first place. We're off-street so to speak so I'd have to get the bin out of my garden (which'll be fun in itself because of its weight) dragged onto the street and then find a drain. I could fill it on the street but that requires me to leave it behind while I go back and get the bucket refilled.

I'm tempted to just tip it onto the pile of soil that is my alleged "lawn" lol. But in the morning, I want to give whatever is in there time to soak off.
 
My daughter spent the weekend at home with us instead of staying at her boyfriends place. My husband started an argument with her yesterday. 🙄. Not happy. ☹️
 
I hope your daughter is ok @weepweeps and I hope her first day goes well

We visited friends at the weekend and I had a funny turn / seizure as soon as we arrived so had to spend Friday night in bed :( but at least it was a nice weekend after that. I’m just so fed up with having them whenever we go anything :(

Thanks @Claire W. She’s just left 🤞.

I’m sorry you had a turn. But its good you could still enjoy the rest of the weekend. Take care ❤️
 
In January I booked my theory test, before everything happened with mum being poorly & I became instructorless again... in three different places I've put the 19th May to remind me. Checked my booking ref number this morning & my test was Thurs 12th May 😢 I don't know how I've made such a mistake and I don't know why I didn't check before. I just feel stupid and sad. I was going to use this one as my practice - if pass then good, if not doesn't matter too much because still haven't found an instructor.

You’ve had a lot to be dealing with recently. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Good luck for when you do take it.
 
I got rid of my horrible cat hoarder neighbour at the beginning of the year who was an utter nightmare for 12 years, the place has been empty since as it was so foul in there they’ve had to do loads to clean it all up 🤢
Got a new neighbour on Monday, a loud couple with an even louder, huger unneutered dog that barks all day and pees/marks everywhere outside. After it terrifying Daisy my elderly cat yesterday lunging at my window where she was asleep on the windowsill (facing the back garden where it was off the lead) I was fuming.
Then today feeding birds found a huge pile of 💩 right by the apple trees where my bird feeders are 😡 Already annoyed because I can’t forage out there again now, but at least pick up your 🤬, it’s so inconsiderate and disgusting.
I may get punched at some point, they got the poo back in a bag on their doorstop and I put a sign on the gate saying to pick it up! Must know it’s me, I’m always out there, I was just so bloody angry! :xd:

Oh no how annoying you can’t forage for the piggies out there and how disgusting they are not clearing up the poop. If it keeps happening I’d inform the council. Think they fine for dog fouling.

Don’t be so hard on yourself. You’ve had a lot to deal with recently and we all make mistakes. Good luck when you do take your theory test x

Eww yuck! I hate when people don’t pick up after their dogs and don’t put them on a lead. I’d be fuming too! As mentioned, contact the council if it keeps happening x
