I don't like having four slices of roast beef left in the fridge, which goes off tomorrow (cooked 3 days ago) but have no use for it, and cannot freeze it as it was frozen previously whilst raw. 

Can't Buttons eat it, for her tea and tomorrows breakfast?

Bunty and Molly get the spare roast meat.  Brandy gets the spare raw meat and offal

Thanks Clive, I think I'll do that then.

She's a complete pain in the rear end when it comes to food.  She will only eat regular cat food, but it has to be in gravy (God forbid you buy jelly/pate or she'd rather starve).

If you are eating food she will happily come up and try to steal it from your plate, but if you put the same food in her bowl she'll turn her nose up at it...

I don't suppose you could, ya know, eat it?... Or is that an outrageous suggestion....?

Bunty seems to prefer the jelly in cat food to the actual meat.

I did eat three slices, which was pushing it considering I'd already had a full meal and snacked all evening.  Still four left over though, which went in the freezer before bed!

I don't like Google taking the option to merge Chrome tabs and apps in the latest update for Chrome for Android. I get that a lot of people didn't like it, but they got it spot on in the previous version where they turned it off by default and had the option to turn it on. 

On the subject of Android, I don't like that my bank isn't one of the few that support Android Pay now that it is finally out over here. Hopefully it won't be long until they do (seeing as they adopted Apple pay immediately). 

I don't like getting the mower out, having first checked the weather forecasts for rain, which stated no rain until later tonight.

Only to find it starts raining after I've mown the second strip:mellow:  Where did that come from?  The Met office, Netweather and Accuweather weren't showing rain until 10pm-ish

I also don't like that Yodel still haven't delivered my parcel, usually if a seller is using next day Yodel, it's come by about 2pm.  however, I need to go out and it's likely if I do: that'll be when Yodel decided to "attempt delivery"!!  Which in turn, will mean an unwarranted trip to Southampton tomorrow, to collect it from the depot:ohmy:

What?  Yodel actually take it back to the depot!?  They've improved, last time I dealt with them at my previous position they just threw things over the fence (and actually onto people's roofs occasionally).

The Southampton depot does.  However, you they don't wait long after ringing the bell, seemingly preferring to card and flee.  If you're on the loo, phone or no where near the door: the driver will have left and carded by the time you open the door:mellow:

Yep, I heard that a lot.  A few people actually saw them literally write the card and put it through the door at the exact same time as knocking/ringing the bell, then immediately running to the van and speeding off (once the driver actually left tyre marks on someone's driveway from speeding off so fast!). 

Not quite sure what they have against waiting for 10-15 seconds and actually meeting the people, they won't kill you!

Today, it's just one of those days again.  Getting fed up with all these 'one of those days'.  Don't like seeing a Ford Capri with a Edelbrock engine in it... out of my price range

There's always the possibility that Yodel only employ extremely impatient drivers with severe social anxiety disorder:tongue:

That's like a call centre employing somebody with a speech impediment!!  But, I wouldn't put it past Yodel. 

Yodel drivers are paid per call not per drop.

If their tracking system shows they visited an address irrespective of whether delivery is completed or not then so be it.

They also have such tight time constraints that it forces them to card and run.

Royal Mail is no different tbf, many times I see a postman walking down a road with an empty bag and a large mitt full of prewritten cards.

They don't care as then the responsibility falls to you to use your time and fuel going to the depot.

I always make them redeliver as I'm nasty that way 😆

I seem to be getting lucky with it so far...  Usually get it bad from the beginning of May, had a few pollen based sneezes but no proper hayfever with streaming eyes and itches yet!  Hopefully haven't jinxed that!

Somebody left a sizeable poo at the foot of my drive:sad:, not a firm easy too pick up and bag one: but a soft squishy one, suggesting a dog with an upset stomach or poor diet.  The volume would also suggest the depositor was  labrador sized or bigger:mellow:

I wonder if it's human had run out bags, or just couldn't be bothered:unsure:

I don't like seeing this...  Worst thing is, I fear it will be expensive.
