Ygerna Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Putting DH in! Once again he is doing the 'oh, I've got to go to tesco this evening' routine. Meaning he has not bought me a card for tomorrow. He does it for every single flippin' special occasion such as Mothers Day, Valentines Day and tonight its because its my birthday (which means as a double bonus, I will get a DVD, or a CD as a gift because that is all they have for him to get as a gift). I've actually said for him to not bother going. The thing is, it means I won't get a card chosen by the children either, it will be one care that he thinks is cheap enough and 'will do', THAT, actually hurts, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutti Frutti Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Putting DH in! I won't get a card chosen by the children either, it will be one care that he thinks is cheap enough and 'will do', THAT, actually hurts, Of course that hurts and I'd be so upset too. How incredibly thoughtless You might get a box of chocs and some flowers as well as the CD/DVD Still thoughtless though. He might as well do the grocery shop whilst he's there Actually, I'll give him a push through the door with you I hope the children make something nice for you and spoil you tomorrow Happy Birthday for tomorrow!

Lesley Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I've slammed the door shut behind him - and I managed to sneak Alonso, Ferrari and the FIA in as well. If you let your OH out would you make sure the others stay in please? I hope you have a happy birthday today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutti Frutti Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Happy birthday! I have a present for you! I thought, "What CAN'T you get in Tescos?" and came up with this... {opens door chucks in just a few red mites after your DH, slams door shut) There, did you like it? I'll say it again! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ygerna Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Thank you everyone. tesco trip resulted in a bunch of flowers, two single glass bottles of wine and an excercise game for the Wii. Today has been a bit disappointing too, he told me he wanted to get something else, but, that I'd need to try it on. I wish I could laugh, but, I can't. He got me a cycle helmet.

Tutti Frutti Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 THAT'S JUST PANTS!!!!!!!!!! Well, whilst we're chucking in DH with duff presents, I'd like to chuck mine in please. One Christmas, there were lots of presents under the tree - RESULT! I didn't realise it at the time but eight of them were all the same size and shape, little cuboids... I unwrapped one and it was a mini packet of Coco Pops. I unwrapped another and it was... a mini packet of Frosties. I unwrapped another (can you see where I'm going yet?) and it was a mini packet of Cornflakes. And so on it went. He said he wanted lots of presents for me under the tree Yup, in you go. I'll come and see if I can fish you out later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Every single member of any industry that has cynically encouraged the young girls of this country to become obsessed with their looks. They've taught them how to get 'the look', but not how to stop. I felt unhappy last night watching a group of young people walking to a party last night. The girls were so encumbered with mini skirts, stilettos, extravagant hairdos and handbags that they couldn't keep up with the boys. ( I think they were only about 14 years old as well). They were closely followed by a group of continental kids, who were striding along together having fun. The girls looked fresh and intelligent as opposed to the English girls who just looked overdone and not too bright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I agree Luckily Rosie has managed to miss out on that... so far... There was an interview on Radio 4 this morning with some clueless bat from a wedding magazine saying that young people aren't at all influenced by celebrities' weddings when it comes to planning their own special day..... if only she could see the number of Jordanesque/Beckham-stylee weddings going on... all that extravagance and expense.

Charlottechicken Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 For the past fortnight, or so it feels, the local paper has been full of 'prom' pics. Some of the children are at junior school What's that all about??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helly Welly Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 that post holiday feeling we've just returned from Kusadasi in Turkey and can't believe how awful we feel. Mind you, it was the best holiday ever, we really miss all the entertainment crew who were mega hot as well as lovely people. Thank goodness for facebook so we can keep in touch.

Seagazer Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 The girl who has allegedly 'found' my DD's lost/stolen brand new mobile phone and who wants a £30-50 reward before she'll return it If she'd have just said she'd found it and left it at a police station with her name and address then we'd have paid a reward but not to demand a reward. I actually don't think she's got it but has found out about it via Facebook somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollie333 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) Can we throw in false advertising? We went to look at a pony from a rescue centre. We travelled quite a long way, it said on the web sight that there was 2 colts (just what we wanted) and just come down and look. When we got there we explained what we wanted and she said we have no horses ready yet and you had to book a date to go and see them! Then she tried to sell us a dog by giving the 'he was abandoned, on the motorway, look into his eyes'. After her shoving a dog in my face, i then explained i was allergic to fur.

patsylabrador Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I want to put in the couple who were visiting Anglesey Abbey yesterday and making loud, derogatory comments about the previous owner and mocking artists who spend years on their work. I don't understand why people bother to visit somewhere like that if they're going to mock it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 The person in the village who phoned to ask if they could borrow our lawnmower to cut their overly long grass as theirs has broken. They are 'friends' but really push their luck by putting people in awkward positions. They have also 'borrowed' chicken food, dog food, logs for the fire & cadged endless lifts for their children Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 The snotty well spoken middle aged man who came to my till yesterday. He had an odd debit/credit card which is unchipped,so requires him to physically sign,which he did. But he then told me that I didn't need to check his signature against that on his card,as he is 'a loyal customer who is in almost every day,& everyone knows me in here' I insisted,& the sig was so worn away that it was just not readable,so I asked for more id (my bad ) This sent him into a tirade against me personally,the shop & the service. told him he could either show me another card or I could get a supervisor...he showed me a card & stormed out. Honestly ..... if someone got hold of that card,signed it & used it he would be sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 On the subject of signs - speed camera signs with no hint as to what the speed limit is. Why don't they say the speed limit below the speed camera sign? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 On the subject of signs - speed camera signs with no hint as to what the speed limit is. Why don't they say the speed limit below the speed camera sign? You should know what the speed limit is on certain roads, even if there is no sign. But that would make sense, putting the limit under the camera sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
