There is a feeling that’s going to be one of her last public appearances

But you only have to look at the Queen Mum and how well she kept going so whilst I can see her reducing her duties dramatically I don’t think she will pass away this year and think she will pass 100

I know that too but there are only 10 houses on the road, 5 on each side and I'm second from the end, nearest the roadworks.
So when a car that isn't owned by anyone on the street comes passed my house, turns round and goes back the same way it's just come from, they've ignored the sign.
I won't bother next time.
 
Tesco.

Specifically, home delivery.

We were due our weekly shopping delivery on Sunday afternoon. My wife and I had to pop out, so we left 15yr old daughter in charge of getting the frozen stuff away when they turned up.

Nope, you have to be 18 to accept groceries apparently! zero alcohol, zero paracetamol, or anything remotely interesting. Get home to ring them, as it's Sunday, they can't come back again, and I can't go and collect it. The only thing they can do is cancel it, and replace the order for delivery on Monday.

The only slot for delivery on a Monday is 10-11 PM! Now, I am normally in bed by 10 as I am an early bird!! 11:10, no shopping. Go online to track the driver "Delivered".
WTF? called them up, driver shortage, it was canceled hours ago and they should have phoned me to tell me....

So cue this morning nipping to the corner shop for overpriced essentials for lunch boxes, eventually home delivery call and it's ready for me to collect, no driver slots to deliver...

So I finally have my shopping, it cost me over 500 quid as each time they canceled the order, they replaced and advise a refund in 5-7 days...:mad::mad::mad:

One of the lads, a policeman who’s been going through a tough time recently.
Apparently he got caught drink driving last night ?
What a stupid idiot, that’s his career down the toilet.

Sounds similar to a mate of mine, he got caught having sex with a patient. He has obviously been sacked.

It's such a shame, he was a cracking vet.

Got to love some delivery issues. Most of the people who deliver to me are great but had a DPD delivery last week, tracking it on line, got 4 stops before my one then started heading away. Then it pings up as attempted to deliver and I am not in. It was late, probably end of his max driving time and I understand that so why not say so. Then get a message to say was going to drop it at my local DPD pick up point and listed one that was over 40 miles away near the depot. Then get a message to say that was delayed and it would be another 48 hours before it was dropped at the drop off point 40 miles away. Luckily the company recalled the delivery and posted me a new item by royal mail.
 
I can understand this but....
DVSA have suspended operations on Monday so people can do whatever they need to do during the funeral.
The poor sods who booked their driving tests 6 months ago and will have to wait at least another month or 2 before a slot can be found for them..possibly more..
There will be tears...

We were on holiday for a week between leaving our old house and moving into our new one. We spent a week in Kirkby Lonsdale, which was nice, but WHY do people think that once they're on holiday they are invulnerable? They can walk in the middle of the road, cross without looking, chatting in the middle of the road, etc.

Well you are in Cumbria with a hell of a lot of tourists. We have just been to Bowness today and could not believe how busy it was. Think yourself lucky there were no sheep on the road.

I feel for you and your wife moving and finding such a mess. It is so stressful to move house and it just shows that everybody does not have the same standards as you do.

Hope it soon gets sorted and the house exceeds expectations.
 
11am one the twins comes back from group. Throws up like rest of day

4pm eldest back from school throwing up

9pm I'm throwing up

Respect to the youngest twin ... She's going strong lol
 
Had to take the dog to the vets last week with a limp, £56 for painkillers and he was chasing a squirrel as soon as we got home, fair enough they obviously worked.
Today his eye is massive and seems like there's something bulging out, booked in for 16.45 ?

Oh bloody hell - good luck. Hope it's minor (the ailment and the bill)...

Next door are having their driveway done. They’ve gone to work and apparently I’m expected to provide electricity and drinks for them. That won’t be happening then.

What!?o_O I’m currently getting mine done, I’ve left them a set of house keys and the garage keys to lock their tools away when done. That’s what you do isn’t it or am I odd?

When we had our loft done the builders were grateful we made them drinks, let them use the loo etc he said so many of our customers make us hire a portacabin .. seriously?

Normally now when I get workers in for short job I'll just eat them lunch aswell

Some people are just strange about their loos
