Random Irritations

[Beezerk]

Second is windows!! Previous previous owner put in lovely brown windows. Look great only issue is when the loft happened we needed to match .. (wife says) so means triple the cost. No issue really until last Monday they arrived damaged and a week later we still don't have replacement .. builder is cross with his guys he always uses but if we had white.. plenty in stock

I'm guessing the builder will be using a small UPVC window manufacturer, if that's the case the coloured profile will be a special order and will take a while for new stock to come in.
Welcome to the world of dodgy window manufacturers mate

Give us a clue, is your 2nd irritation with:

1. the builder
2. the window type
3. the window cost
4. your wife
5. the previous owner
6. that they were damaged
7. the delivery time
8. Windows in general

I'd say the window company lol my builder was told that they would be ready wednesday
Then Thursday
Then Friday

Then 100% Monday lol

Then again could be annoyed with the wife. White windows would have just been easier for everyone

Not even 6 o clock (when it happened, or didn't as the case would be) that I'm randomily irritated today

My mate from work lives 5 mins from me. He's awful on earlies , zombie so I always offer to take him in.. wakes up in the car .. everyone wins

05:25 I get to his... Hasn't answered my txt so I ring him. Nothing

This continues until 05:40 when that's it I've left

Still not heard from him

He has until 07:00 when he will be booked missing from duty by the boss

Ffs man .. set more than one alarm

I should probably add if he didn't have kids I'd of been ringing his bell and banging on the door at 05:30 .. but it's harsh on his wife to wake them up just to get her idiot to work lol

It is harsh but I think you should have done it. He would get the blame from the wife surely? You are just trying to do your mate a favour.

I was thinking the same. Get him up and then let him deal with the fallout tonight

Prob should have

His wife is grateful I didn't

Off to the dentist tomorrow to have my crown fitted. Mrs d comments that if I’d told her last week she could have moved some work to drop me off.
She’s gone pretty quiet now I resent the text from 2 weeks ago telling my appointment was booked for tomorrow

Naturally it’s my fault as I told her the date not the day of my next appointment 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Mogs 1 and 2. Not in bags.

They are gorgeous. I'd love a ginger cat but Daisy likes to chase them! Do they need grooming?

My teenage sons idea of tidying up his room, told him to do it last night at which point we heard alsorts of cupboards being opened and drawers being used so assumption was he was doing as asked. Opened the door this morning looks like a warzone and as untidy as it was when told to do it 🙄
Imagine his frustration when he gets home to find his PS4 & Xbox are both missing as well as the WiFi being off when he gets in and being held captive until the room resembles a bedroom again 😂

Don't forget to take his phone off him as well

Having to return things I've bought online. And the fact that the nearest Post Office is 20 minutes walk away so would take up most of my lunch hour to go there and back.

No, Maine coons are among the few long haired cats that don't really need any grooming. He gets brushed about twice a year, when I remember. They have a lovely temperament too.

There may be shop owners reading this enjoying your discomfort. There could be a lesson in it

Good thing is he's forgot to take it today so that's already with the other devices... Give it an hour an hour and sulky teenager having to tidy will become a highlight of my day 😂

If it's an outdoor MC, like our two, then it is recommended you should brush them regularly as you don't want to invite knots under the leg pits and rear! One of our cats needs more brushing that the other...the shorter haired one, funnily enough! The best grooming device we have is a pet groomer's glove.

Funny thing is my phone does this and in some cases actively changes it to the wrong word for the context. We are as a culture becoming lazy with spelling and grammar as we don't really need the art of written correspondence or proof reading anymore. Everything is done with autocorrect and online now, I've seen some of the homework my kids come home with and winced at the errors which don't get picked up by the teachers.

Shouldn't that be 'chequer' ?
