    Slicing your thumb open while chopping onions on the same day you are playing an important gig, using an instrument where your thumb is kinda important.

    I have the most awesome dressing gown ever. It's a sheep. http://tinypic.com/r/2cfrx8i/8

    OH is working from home today and gave out to me for not getting dressed, and is saying my awesome sheep dressing gown makes me look like an imbicle.

    Can't see the haters while I got my love glasses on though

    Queing up in Woodies on Sunday and there were quite a few tills open with at least one person at each. The couple in front of me are dithering and questioning the price of everything, hovering over the shop assistant's shoulder so they can see what prices are coming up on the screen. Fook this I think, I'll be here all day and I may not be able to stop myself from physically hurting them with my trolley.

    The guy beside looks like he is getting the job done quickly so I cockily move tills. And then the guy at the new till realises he has forgotten something and sprints off down the shop to retrieve it. In the meantime the couple at the original till have finished up and if I had stayed there I would be being served rather than seething and stewing away waiting for the moron to return. And not even a sorry out of him for delaying me. I made sure he heard my passive agressive 'Don't worry I have all day to wait around while you re-commence your shopping'

    Well usually after two craft fairs in two day, I would say people who grumble and play shock horror at the prices of my work, which is way below any other crafter etc etc etc.. I under cut everyone and use top quality yarn and am skilled.. But it only happened once all weekend and then the lady came back to chat and admire my work...lol....
    Oh what really did annoy me was, in the hotel foyer I was in, a large Santa Doll that "sang" Jingle Bell rock every time anyone walked past.. clearly motion activated. I tried it and not a flicker from it so maybe I am dead. But all day long it was on and off..

    What is really now annoying me is this """""""" cough that has tacked on to the cold I have had three weeks...invading chest now.

    " It is SNOT the cough that carries you on it is the coffin they carry you off in.."

    KInd thought but nah... I have antibiotics in store in case of that. Just a bad cold at present. No real infection and I am immuno suppressed so stay away from surgeries. Very very tired after a long weekend. Both fairs were a long drive away so I was out 12 hours each day.

    The dress I ordered arrived today and I hate it slightly less than I thought I would. TA bit is that not only will I have to wear it but it's much lighter material than I thought, which shows not just lumps and bumps but every line of underwear, so I will have to buy new shapewear to go under it.:mad:

    Give kids the decision on what they want to do for the afternoon.
    INDDOOOOORRRR PLLLAAYGGROOOOUNNND was the response.
    Cool says I.
    March in, pay the €13, take the kids shoes off, get them their juice, sit down and check the wi-fi situation. Before I have opened up the settings on the phone, the youngest comes back and tells me she took a wee and that her jocks are wet (yes, my 3 year old calls her trousers jocks)
    Gather children up and leave.
    Easily the biggest waste of money.

    That reminds me!

    I hate, hate, hate it when you're shopping with sombody and they forget some stupid item while queuing for the till, so they shoot off leaving you in the awkward position of standing there to guard their place in line like some spare pr1k.

    And to make matters worse, that's is when the line inevitably chooses to start moving again as you anxiously and inexorably move closer to the till, all the while concious of the fact that you have no wallet on you and will have face the merciless anger and frustration of the angry mob when you reach the top of the queue and are forced to shrug and appologetically explain that 'I'm just waiting for X to return from a game of hide and seek around the supermarket with a jar or pickles'.

    SPARE ME!!!!!!

    In Dunnes at the weekend, a lady at the till ahead of me had vouchers that is she spent over €100 she would get €10 off her shopping. Her total came to €91. So she decides to go off and get something for €9. Grand thinks me, she'll probably just pick up he 12 pack of Andre really soft toilet triple quilted jacks roll that is on special offer display right behind us.
    She walks straight past that amazing offer and disappears down the aisles, I thought she would have something in mind and would be going straight for it. Apparently not, I must have been waiting that about 5 minutes before she strolled back with some Dove soaps.

    People complaining of the cold when its is still comparatively warm. Lord help them when the true winter temperatures hit!

    And the thread moving on to no. 44 without a mod messing with the numbering sequence.I was all prepared to be annoyed about it and now can't complain so I'm annoyed at not being able to be annoyed.
    TA, as someone said last week, is certainly a gift than goes on giving.

    It's hard to describe really, but here goes. It's a sleevless black figure hugging number with a top that will require a bra with a good bit of oomph;) and it flares out at mid calf. There are little black buttons under the bust. I hate my upper body, lots of scary scars, so I've got a long black cardigan to cover that.

    2. Tables that rock.
    3. .....shop assistants who "just sold the last one this morning..."
    4. people who ask "..what age would you say I am?"
