Red Squirrel Mar 2016 12:20pm, 7 Mar 2016 19,041 posts	Quote Pin Red Squirrel The fact that I invited a group of my friends around to watch rugby at my BF's house with us catering and it's on the Saturday, not the Sunday. I appreciate that I made the mistake and probably mis-heard BF telling me which day, but why did no-one correct me? We organised this a month ago. I'm not a fan of rugby and didn't realise the British matches weren't being held on Sunday. All the chaps coming along (with their partners) are big rugby fans. I've now resolved to hold my diary up to my BF's face every time we make a booking, so he can tell me it's wrong at an early stage.

Fragile Do Not Bend Mar 2016 8:00pm, 7 Mar 2016 667 posts	Quote Pin Fragile Do Not Bend My husband's gears are being ground by the amount of bureaucracy involved in getting planning permission to replace our shed with a new one (normally you wouldn't need planning permission for this, but we do as our house is listed). There are regular expletives coming from the other end of the sofa this evening as he is trying to fill in the form online, luckily this is amusing me rather than annoying me. 😄

Not seeing the one coming up behind you is possibly understandable, although you're still an idiot who shouldn't be on the road, but to getting out of the way of the one that is coming towards you, on the wrong side of the road because it needs to get past the two lanes of stationary traffic.....waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh, where's my car lasso?

I just saw this and knocked on the window. He checked his pockets, left the dog and went to get a bag. He came back, picked up the poo and off he went. Result!
