Solicitors. Meant to be moving into our new build tomorrow. The solicitors have failed to respond to 6 telephone calls and 3 emails since Monday. They haven’t even acknowledged we’ve transferred the funds. They have been poor throughout, not offering any information proactively. Feel like I’m chasing and pestering them all the time. Whilst I understand why one is needed, it feels like an extortionate amount to receive a shite service.

ask for a copy of their complaints procedure because your not happy.
In my experience they'll soon change their attitude

Those that can’t drag themselves away from the bar in time for the start of the concert and then can’t find where they are supposed to be sitting. It seems to be the majority of the audience tonight.

Ouch. I've never dared cycle with our two as I'm guaranteed to come a cropper. Barley did tear my medial ligament crashing into me chasing his ball.

Hope the knee is soft tissue damage and heals fast.

Punctures. Esp in my CLS, and esp when I am not driving it. Mrs Mog is stranded on the M4. There is a spare, of a sort, but it will need the RAC to change it, and pump it up.

She called the RAC at 9.15, and they turned up at 12.30. That is a long time to leave a woman standing in the rain on the hard shoulder of a motorway.

Now I need a new tyre. Before tomorrow.

A (female) friend of ours has been sleeping on our sofa for about 3 months now, because she had to move out of her other place and she can't go back home because her brother is a nasty character by all accounts - but that's not the irritation, in fact we'd more or less agreed she'll take over the spare room and move in properly when our other friend moves out next year. No, the irritation is that last night I was woken by the sound of her - very audibly - shagging some bloke in the lounge, on our sofa (presumably). I'll never be able to look at her in the same way, and the wife was absolutely fuming. Rightly so I think - a bit rude and disrespectful after our three months of generosity I think? Wife says she doesn't even want to sit on the sofa now, etc.

If she (the friend) had just waited until she'd moved in proper, have sex in her room, slightly awkward if we heard it but you just laugh it off, no problem. But no she has to drunkenly shag in the lounge and now my missus is going to have to say something. And she will know that we heard it, and honestly, she was pretty bloody vocal. Dear me. Me and the wife couldn't get back to sleep for hours because we didn't know what to do/say/think or how to approach it today. Initial move was that we both bailed this morning without waking her - but I'm sure words will be had.

Edit: Oh and I forgot to add, this same friend has had a bit of an on-off thing going with one of my best mates lately, and I think he's quite keen on her, so I have the added dilemma of whether I should tell him or not. Which I could do without.

Is your irritation at her shagging someone or that you weren't in hand with popcorn ??
