I don't like taking the wrong £6 off voucher to Tesco, I took the one that expired on Sunday and not the one for this week

I needn't have bought so much, had I known I'd got the wrong voucher

I'll be hard pushed to used everything up just get to use my current voucher before it expires now

It's so hard to time promotions sometimes eh. Filled up with fuel on Sunday, only to learn that Sainsbury's is having a fuel promotion (where I can save 5 quid for a tank) this weekend. No chance of using even a quarter of it by then - had I known, I would have kept the tank empty till then!

I forgot to take my £5 voucher once, it really wound me up, Grrrr.

It makes the whole voucher system, intended to encourage customers, have the reverse effect.

Stock up on Loo rolls? You once said you used loads! But I seem to recall you had already stocked up. Or

Wine for Christmas?Except:

They will probably have another 25% off 6 bottles offer between now & Xmas!

You can't win.

Anyhow, how come you got a £6 voucher, was it a special? All I got last visit was double points & 70p off baked beans!

 

I don't like the day after buying a massive amount of Kitekat (20 packs of 6 tins), Molly has decided she's no longer likes it  She decided the same thing with her previous "loved" Butchers Classic, of which I still have 13 cans left.  For the moment, it's only Tescos own brand cat food in gravy that she'll devour with pleasure, fortunately I still have 48 cans of that left, it was the late Bunty's preferred food.

I still have 96 loo rolls in the house, still in their packs.

Wine's a good idea, or do the current local promotion they have with Badger beer (4 bottle for £6) . Although now she's gone off Kitekat, I could stock up another few months worth of Tesco's cat food in gravy

It came in a book of  six vouchers (week 1 £9 off and then 5 x £6 off), mailed in mid September.  They've sent me one every September, for at least 5 years, I think they're trying to get you to spend more before the proper Christmas spending begins.

Buttons is the same with food, she can be incredibly picky and will simply refuse to eat it if she doesn't like it, regardless of how hungry she becomes.  Fortunately she seems to have found a food that she can stick with, at least for the past few months, which is Sheba in gravy.  It is one of the most expensive brands unfortuantely, but if it keeps her happy...

See the deal below  If you split your petrol purchase (assuming full tank 50 quid) into 10 quid amounts, you will pay 5 quid less.

I haven't tried Sheba in gravy yet., one for the reserve brands when she changes her mind about Tescos own

When she came from Cats Protection, they said she only liked Felix pouches, 2 months later, she went off them and only had eyes for Whiskas and GoCat complete.  Six months later, it Butchers Classic, then Kitekat and is currently Tesco's own in gravy.  She keeps changing her mind.

Cats!

You missed out the fad for Spiders! She has eaten them all now, I hear.

Our cat was less fussy, He liked the Tesco dried cat food, with a tin of tuna every few days. And mice! There were usually (small) bits of dead rodent around the house in the morning. He tried a rabbit once, but gave up on it. It was playing dead when I found it in the house, but it came back to life in the night, and escaped from its box into the kitchen. We had the devil of a job to round it up again.

You might have to sell the 120 tins of Kitekat. Best not stock up on more catfood then!

 

Things I dislike:

• Bad UK drivers - especially bus drivers 
• Losing a small chrome clip on my air vent and having to order a whole new £10 vent just to replace it 
• Passing by the local Petrol station and finding fuel has gone up again

We have to alternate brands, our 3 have a firm favourite, Purina One but only get it occasionally as it's so expensive! Otherwise it's Felix or Whiskas of various varieties. They just get bored I think.

Only thing they like the same of is the Purina One biscuits, although we buy Go-Cat sometimes to save some money. Purina is a los expensive,  but we usually get it from Costco.

I don't like inadvertently catching the cable and severing it, whilst trimming the cable tie end, on my electric knife flex  Instead leaving the cable in a rats tail hanging down from it's hanger, I wrap the cable up and secure it with a cable tie, when I've finished using the knife. I also find having done it, no-one supplies 2-core .5mm² flex cable in white on reels of less 50M: I only want 1.5M

Whilst I could just splice and solder the cut ends together, it would look a little clunky

Spiders are snacks to Molly, she also pursues and eats houseflies, moths, craneflies and various beetles. There is one spider who has managed to escape her on the ceiling of the bathroom.  At least once a day Molly is in bathroom, looking up at it,  trying to work out how to get it.  The loo is too low, the gap from from the top of the bathroom cabinet and the shower curtain rail is too far; as is the windowsill.

I hope the bathroom arachnid is wise enough to stay up on the ceiling!

Vasectomy 

had it done today at 13:00 

Anastetic needle in either side of the bag was all I felt at the time.

Now when I'm standing or walking i feel like I've been kicked in the goolies 😣

No urinating blood or feeling like I'm passing glass just discomfort when standing or walking as gravity pulls things downwards.

I feel your pain/discomfort  got it done about 13 years ago! 

 

Before any injections, the surgeon told me he was going to 'give the area a quick wash with sterilised water' with what I assumed was a bag of room temperature water. Seconds later I discovered it was straight out of the fridge!!!!  It was at this precise moment that the theatre doors opened and a bespectacled  female nurse came in, walked up to the operating table and said "It IS you! I saw your name on the list and wondered if it was you!" An ex-school friend I hadn't seen for a few years. I told her that I wasn't exactly looking at my best just now and she might need stronger glasses!  

We lived about 5 minutes walk away from the hospital so I walked home, don't think I could have walked back though!!! 

Good man for getting it done, a lot less hassle for us blokes compared to what women go through.

P.S One of our cats, Ozzy, is feeling much the same today after a visit to the vets. He's a couple of stones lighter! 

On the topic of ball bags... I don't like the two that decided to jump on car roofs outside of our place the other night (at midnight)... I watched one of them fall off (unfortunately he didn't break his neck)... I phoned 101 and they sent 'a unit', I trotted down the road to see if I could spot the guys and saw the police had stopped them already. Another police unit came and had a look at the two cars, neither of which had damage (although ones roof was 'popped in'  I guess you could say)... I think they just took their details and that was that... Would rather they gave the two jumpers a quick beating with the batons and perhaps a taze or two then sent them on their way...

Real morons tbh. I get that being drunk and clowning around has it's fun and sure the cars didn't look damaged, but just that sort of senseless moronic actions gets me raging... it's painful enough when you come out to your car anywhere and there is a mark on it that you weren't the cause of without it being caused my someone jumping on your blooming roof!!!!!

That kind of behaviour makes my blood boil!  Same as when somebody decided to raise the windscreen wipers of every car on my street.  The things I'd do to somebody if I caught them doing that, I shouldn't admit on a public forum...

See the wipers thing annoys me to some extent, but unless it's some bell ringer trying to rip one off, the simple action of lifting a wiper normally won't do the car any harm - again I know that is not really the point, you're touching someone else belongings which is the issue. I wouldn't have too much of an issue if I found my wiper up, obviously I'd do a look around and see if anything is messed up... I did however have some complete **** stick a chicken bone under my wiper once.... again I guess that would do no harm, but I could have killed that person!

But standing on a car roof >.< scratches from stones on shoes... dents... scuffs...

You're absolutely right Ian, there is a drunken "joke" such as the wipers, and then standing on the roof, which is criminal damage in my opinion. 

Reminds me of this story from a local town a while back.  Absolute nut-case.

 Unlike a mate of mine, who found the anaesthetic wasn't working, or wasn't strong enough and he felt everything He was in so much pain, he said he couldn't speak to let the surgeon know and endured the whole procedure

When they'd finished and he regained his voice, he told them "by the way the anaesthetic didn't work and I felt every cut and snip you made!" They told him he could've gestured, if he'd lost his voice with the pain. He said he'd thought of that, but thought the surgeon might slip and accidentally slice something else as he gestured, causing more pain

Yes, one of my colleagues at work described a similar experience...  The only way you'd get me "under the knife" (for anything) is if my life depended on it!

I don't like coming to the end of my holiday...  By this time tomorrow I'll be back in work and losing my mind again.  Yay!!

Do not like that ford is giving us an ST line trim but no performance. Boooo it is similar to the Audi S Line and Bmw M Sport

I don't like waking up to a cold, wet and windy morning for my first day back to work!  I can already see it now...  None of my passwords will work, I'll have hundreds of useless emails, system will crash, all the while calls will be queuing because every idiot and their dog likes to call in on a Saturday to moan!

I don't like having gone with the three forecaster services I use (Accuweatther, The Met Office and Netweather) and their prediction that it wouldn't rain overnight. Their earlier forecasts of rain overnight was now wrong, they all said it would now rain this afternoon and not overnight.yesterday. As a consequence, I didn't feed the lawn. Whilst you can feed it and then water it in with a hose and sprinkler, it makes more sense to time it, and get the rain to do it for you.

I woke up to all the empty vessels in the garden having around 25-30mm of rain in them, the sort of quantity of rain which would have been ideal for watering in lawn food

I also woke up with what feels like an abscess underneath my lower middle right molar, not exactly agony but rather irksome
