Random Irritations

The Highland Council.
Visited the house we let out today only to find the HC has put double yellows and permit parking in place in the adjacent road. It's to solve a parking problem entirely of there own making. A few years ago they made the council offices car park pay and display, which means lots of council workers then started parking in nearby roads. Causing parking and access issues to drives in these roads. Previously these were quiet areas during the week. To to solve this they have Double yellowed everywhere and permitted only parking a couple of the roads, which you now have to pay for.

Sounds a typical council mess up and "solution"!
 
Its summer, but the heating kicks in at night (and sometimes during the day) !!.. dont even want to look at the heating bill when it lands.

I have a very leaky house.. just cant find where it is coming from though. Also looks like the prev owner may not have put cavity wall insulation in a section of the upstair wall where we have clay tiles.. that room is like a freezer in the winter. Not sure how we can retrofit it into that part of the house

Can you afford to lose a tiny bit of wall space? Insulation backed plaster board over the wall adds something to the insulation. Or a partition wall with insulation behind adds more
 
Mrs Colch and her ability to procrastinate. If there was a global award for the World's Biggest Procrastinator then she'd win it every year. Except she wouldn't, because she'd delay putting in her entry until the last possible minute and then miss the deadline for submissions. I could swear that her life motto is "Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow", followed by "And if it's possible to put it off until tomorrow then there's plenty of time to do it next week or the week after".

My wife’s most irritating trait is her ability to hoard things. She never throws stuff out, always finding lame excuses not to.

Unsurprisingly, my 19 year old son rarely plays with his Lego, yet we have boxes of the stuff desperately wanting to be rehoused via the charity shop which Mrs BB cannot bear to part with. And he has far more interest in going on the lash with his mates than in making robots from old loo rolls and yoghurt pots, and despite this we have bags full of recyclables which she seems intent on keeping.

Grinds my gears in unimaginable ways, my lovely wife…….

Be grateful.. She is still hoarding you... way past your use by date..
 
Finally gone down with a cold for the first time in over three years - with the worst sore throat I can ever recall having. Like breathing razor blades. And I've tested, and it is just a cold. Ah well, at least it shouldn't last long
