Sorry to hear that dilli thinking of you and Natalie, take care.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

It took me ages to get into the patient transport system, I hope you manage to sort it.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My mum has been told to go for Hospital transport as its in the UCH in London, but we won't let her travel alone.

Its only 1 hour from Epping to Warren St by tube, so next time I'll get an oyster card.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Scottish power - who refuse point blank to deal with Natalie. Now I have to try to sort them out tomorrow. And to think I'm supposed to be not getting stressed.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That's terrible but then again I'm sure I heard somewhere that Scottish Power do not have very good customer service although I've always found them okay to deal with. Hope you get it sorted dilli, you and Natalie have enough to deal with at the moment. Take care and try and not get to worked up over it.

My moan is I can't sleep till our Steve gets home from his night out :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l hope your son got home safely weenie as one does worry about our offspring when they are out.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks den he got home about 10 minutes after my post. I know he is 22 but I just cannot sleep till he get's home.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope you feel better soon, Take Care we are thinking of you

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I know I'm more of a moaner than usual these days but......
After all that's gone on I've gone and picked up a cold in the hospital. Honestly I feel bloody terrible :(

Not a good night and not coping.

God I need some lemsip!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That's the last thing you wanted dilli as it just seems to be one thing after another and l just pray and hope that things pick up for you soon.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I don't feel like they will today.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l know but try to have positive thoughts dilli as the tunnel might be dark at the moment but there is light at the end of that tunnel.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

@ dilli. Trust you to go one step further than necessary. Anything to get attention. :D :D :D

<< Jo runs off quickly before she gets a bed pan thrown at her. >>

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

it is actually ironic

I go in with a dodgy ticker and I get a cold :)

And watch it or I'll throw a full bed pan at you :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2015/02/9.gif Promises, promises. The day you can fill a pan I will happily let you take aim at me. Though I doubt if you would be able to hit me before I ran http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u...-anime-050.gif to hide behind Natalie. :D :D :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

He just needs to not empty it for a few days :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

No fear of that happening. :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Dilli you are without doubt the most positive person I have ever come across. Don't give up on that no matter how hard things get - it makes you the very special person you are. Like everyone here I'm hoping your luck will soon change for the better. :tu:

I'm the same you know. We had a rare kid free day yesterday with our youngest in respite and our eldest out all day doing karate and football. He wasn't exactly at huge risk but even so, I was so glad to have him home safe and sound when he rolled in at 9.45pm... :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I'm not so bad when he goes out where we live tbh, but he was out with his Uni friends in Glasgow and I hate/worry about that till he comes home. I know the same can happen in his home town but at least he is known and I'm sure someone would let me and his Dad know if trouble was about to start if you know what I mean, at least we could go and get him within a few minutes rather than the 25 minutes it would take for Glasgow.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I'm so very tired, weak and short of breath all the time now :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Stick in there dilli and hopefully very soon your health will turn for the better as our thoughts and best wishes are with you.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My moan is at myself. Wondered why my tumble drier wasn't working, got very cross. Then realised I hadn't plugged it in. Whoops.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

whilst I am sorry to hear that you did make me giggle ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Wait till you get to 50 Mark as the memory starts to go even more downhill from there onwards.:)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well that would help ;) also I'm glad I'm not the only one who makes that mistake. I've done similar myself Mark only it was my hair straighteners on the plus side I now have two pairs as I went out and purchased another pair.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Glad I was able to cheer you up dilli. Hope things go well. Know a husband of a friend who is in Papworth recovering after having surgery to remove lung cancer. Sounds like a nice hospital.

Hope my mind doesn't go den, already starting with arthritis in my right knee as the surgeon told me I would get it when they operated on my knee in 2009. Realised the other night that this July it will be 6 years since that op. How time flies.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I'm ready.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

ABS lights on in car and won't go off, looks like a visit to the garage :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I want to make balloon animals out of some rubber gloves but they won't let me have any - that sucks ;) :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Just got another bill for eldest granddaughter. She is taking A-levels in English, Geography and Music however the school doesn't have enough teachers for geography and music ( sickness ) so for music composition and back chorale we are now paying for private lessons. She was also sent on a one day course for teachers and students on how the marking is done. The school said she had to pay for the course. No teachers went from the school :rolleyes: see above for reason.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well this is a strange one ABS light off today so no need to make an appointment for garage which is good but I do wonder what caused the light to come on :confused:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Maybe the bulbs gone...:erm:

Is the faulty warning light warning light lit? :D

Seriously I'd get it checked out: The garage will be able to read the diagnostics from the cars computer logs and then they'll know if it was some glitch or something that really needs looking at.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks I will better safe than sorry. Just phoned hubby and he said to get it checked also he also said that these lights don't come on for no reason.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Good girl. Can't take chances with the brakes. Time was when the first sign of trouble was they just didn't work. Thankfully cars have better systems and warnings these days.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

All will likely happen is ABS won't work and brakes will lock if pressed too hard.

But still get it checked.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My girlfriend was due to fly back to England in the morning after 5 weeks visiting family overseas, unfortunately she woke up full of a fever/cold/sore throat this morning so won't make the flight.

Luckily i managed to change the flight easily for a small rebooking fee for Valentines day in a weeks time!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Washing machine's leaking but only when spinning (to pump out). Looks like the door rubber. Thought is was the pump seal as that's often what leaks but not this time.

I'll fix it but the machine is getting well past it. Time to save up some pennies for a new one.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

How long have you had the machine heero?.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I've had it for 25 years but it was diverted from a skip so it is a lot older. It was dumped because a contact had failed in the programmer. Fixed that and it's been pretty reliable since. But it's falling to bits now.

looks like this only much more "used"

:eek::shocking::help::omg:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes its certainly had a good life but l think now is the time to give it a good send off and buy a new one heero.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes. I'll fix it to carry on for the next few weeks. I like Bosch stuff for tools so I'll have a look at their offerings. Want a really good spin speed and ideally be able to take duvets.

I'll canabalise some parts off the machine as my mother also has an Indisit though more modern but some parts are compatible like the bearing spider.

It's just finished the spin. I've checked the door rubber and there's a couple of splits near the top. Explains why it only leaks at the start of the spin when it whirls a lot of water about.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I really can't be arsed with it today and getting stressed out with the ex about Peter, don't feel like eating so no dinner for me either.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Try and eat something dilli even if it's just a slice of toast as you need to keep your strength up, sorry to hear about your ex stressing you out. I assume Peter is your son.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

He is indeed.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Iadom is your man here for those things ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well I'd buy an Indesit if the last one lasted 25+ years how long for the next.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

They don't make them like they used to. :(

All the modern ones are stuffed with failure prone electronics and crappy motors.

This one lasted because it's so simple: One motor* does everything and a simple rotary programmer.

* Two speed reversible induction motor is quite special.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

No they do not sadly.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My op has been moved to Monday, just got my head round it too now more time to stew on it. :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Something to have a laugh on Dilli!
Like yourself I have had a cold/nose bunged up.
I decided to have a poke into nose to remove bogey or two, ended up with a 3 day nosebleed.
(Remember I'm on tablets to stop blood clotting, blood would not stop even with cotton wool stuffed up)
Note to myself - leave bogies alone in future. lol

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Eeeewwwwww

The worst blood thing here was one of the fine blokes with issues pulled his own cannular out and plopped it on my table for me. Nice :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Double yuck...:sick:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That happened to my mum and we had to take her up to A&E, IIRC they sprayed something like cocaine up the nose.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

More likely to be adrenalin spray. Same as applied to boxers cuts to stop the blood flow quick.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Bought an LG G3 off eBay and it just arrived.

Seller claims was an unwanted upgrade however its actually a Chinese copy and NOT the genuine phone! Bloody raging.

As soon as I opened it I had a few worries. Charger and earphones not real LG ones. Then battery only had Chinese text on it. When starting phone if I pressed the screen it moved and went white like a cheap LCD would. Screen res is only 720p and the OS was not looking right at all.

Paypal claim filed. Grrrrrrrr

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I'd be cross if I was you as well. Personally, never bought anything like that off eBay but I do know there are scammers on there. I got one person removed as they took 2 weeks to post something then because they hadn't paid enough I had to pay the extra postage. I left neutral feedback and told the seller and eBay that had I been allowed to leave negative feedback I would have done. When I went to check on their feedback score an hour later, the account had been taken off eBay.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope you get your money back Stephen.

The wee one has just came home and trailed dog poo over my living room carpet that he had on his trainers. All cleaned up now but as soon as hubby gets home we will be off to Asda to hire a Rug Doctor as I need to be sure it's all gone. This really makes me angry dog owner's who do not pick up their dog's mess. Garage phoned and it's the sensor that needs replaced and that's why the ABS light is on. Oh this day is just getting better :rolleyes:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well that fricking sucks!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thing is I did my usual checks before bidding to make sure. Only one neutral feedback. Been an eBay member for 10 years. Both a seller and buyer with good feedback.

Photos of the phone back casing do actually appear slightly different to what I received.

Well so much for trying to save a bit of cash. When I get it back I am just going to purchase off amazon or ebuyer.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Why are the doctors in here so cute it's very distracting, I'm trying my hardest to focus.

not half as much as I hope so :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Seems Papworth is the hospital to go too then for perving over, er sorry being cured by, hot female doctors and nurses. Had to stop seeing one GP as she used to get my BP rising and I'd need to make a second appointment to see the nurse. Always fine when I saw the nurse.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I always remember that time when I was about 10 on a hospital ward. I know what them nurses were doing with the man in the bed next to me behind the curtains :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So I found out earlier on today that because of one week that I was poor during that Christmas job I have been blacklisted by that company. Cannot even do work experience there again voluntarily.

So cross, as he told an employer he was keeping a job for me, kept promising the Earth and then I find out it was all just lies. Felt like going and destroying his brand new store in anger but decided he wasn't worth getting a criminal record for. Why tell lies to your face though?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Good news We got a friend to do the gutters for the price of. Couple of packets of Cigs Now we just have to pay for the door to be fixed,

Bulb in the landing light's just popped. Really difficult to get to as it's so high up. I'll need to get the step ladder out from the garage. I'm going to find an LED version so this will be the last time. Need a point source as it's in a fancy glass paned "star" shade and needs to be sparkly. Old bulb was 40W clear mini globe.

I always try to do something for the missus on Valentine's day it didn't manage this year. I have guilt especially as she got me a card.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I think you have justifiable cause dilli. Just give her a big hug on her next visit.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Silly man, I agree that your timing could have been a tad better but you are in the process of giving her all she has ever wanted. You by her side through thick and thin. As grand gestures go I think what you are both going through just about hits the highest rank. Love to you both.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I agree with Jo, giving yourself the best shot of getting better and spending more time with her will go down better than a tacky card and gifts that only get used once and then left.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

They will be plenty more Valentine's days dilli, don't beat yourself up over this just give Natalie a kiss and cuddle and utter those three special words.

TV antenna up on the gable has collapsed so freeview has gone awol. Even pointing in the wrong direction the TV still shows 60% signal but not enough for a stable picture. It's only a backup for VM at the moment.

I'll probably put a new one in the loft rather than have another on the outside of the house.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Really sore tummy at the moment taking Peanuts advice and using hot water bottle (seems to be helping) can't take the tramadol the Doctor has given as they make me too drowsy in the morning so not advisable nor good when you have a school run at 08:25 so the best option for me is hot water bottle and a cuppa of tea.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l hope after a good nights rest you will feel better in the morning weenie.

Good job I have no voice, otherwise nPower would be getting an earache from me. Took over a month and half to sort out a refund on our credit, tried to jack up the DD to £116 a month, called and they agreed to cut to £80 a month, checked bank today and they have taken the £116. I think time to look at leaving them, finally seeing for ourselves just how crap their CS is.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

What you have described are 2 of the many side effects of taking Tramadol.
I would suggest going back to your GP and tell all!
(I managed to take Tramadol + Pregabalin together for 4years, starting from low dosage increasing by 25mg every 3months or so. Some days I found myself unable to take this combined dosage, dosage reduced as time went by until I found an alternative.)
Coming off Tramadol has to be done in a controlled way depending on length of time on this. Pink elephants comes to my mind if reduction not done correctly!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Seeing my Doctor on Thursday morning and will say to him then that the pain killers he has given are no good for me as they make me too drowsy.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Depending on the cause/nature of pain, there are some seriously strong pain killers available! Finding the correct medication I found was a 'hit &miss affair, eventually I latched onto a chiropractor who located the cause of my lower back pain and worked on my joints over a 2year period thus alleviating the need for the strong pain relief.
I go back to chiro every 6months or so just to fine tune spine alignment.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Whatever you do, do not ever take dihydro codeine or morphine unless absolutely necessary. Apart from being very addictive, they knock you out something rotten. After my knee surgery my GP prescribed me the dihydro codeine option. Let's just say that in a 24 hour period, I was lucky to be awake for 10 hours.

Probably why prescribed, if I'm sleeping all the time I can't be tempted to get up and try going back to normal for a week or so.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Try looking into acupuncture, my sister uses it for IBS pain relief.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I had D Codeine. After a back operation in 2004 I was glad to come off them. They made me sleep and drowsy and although they helped the pain at the time. Tramadol was the same, I just worked myself down to paracetamol. It took time but I came ok. Back Operation was not as good a success as promised, but it was better than it was before,
Take care Weenie

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Acupuncture won't work immediately but need several session to start to take effect.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I will definitely try it and let you know how I get on at the moment I'm trying reflexology which is very relaxing.
