I could slap myself

Went to the hospital, got there at 1.15pm - my appointment was for 2.30pm. I kid you not, I spent until 2.55 looking for a space. I finally found one, got out of the car in the P1ss1ing rain, and saw a sign saying staff only, had a look around to make sure as it was in a funny place and sure enough there was another car with a parking fine on it. Had a major panic attack, and called to say I couldn't come and drove the six or so miles home crying my eyes out. No sympathy, please, I am really annoyed at myself I feel as if I had a tantrum, and I had so been looking forward to this appointment and the help I hope to get from it.

Then to top it all I realised about fifteen minutes ago that my car tax ran out yesterday and I've been driving all over Glasgow today with no tax. I bet one of those enforcement vans saw me, I am so cross, the money is there for it, it just slipped my mind.

I think I will be going for a shower and my bed soon, hopefully I will be in a better place tomorrow.

Glad to hear dad's OK redruby, and hope MRCsarina is doing well, too. Hugs all round.xxx

don't worry bout this, although legally it's an offence, DVLA normally only care about those that are 1 month plus out of date. Buy at post office tomorrow morning and you'll be fine.

Jackieg I know you said "no sympathy", but please accept a Wolfy (((HUG)))

Thanks both, I've done it online, which was my original intention when the reminder came, but it was more than 15 days before and I couldn't and then daftJackie took over and it got lost in the paperwork mountain!

OK, to avoid same problem next year, get your mobile phone, go to the calendar function and put in a reminder for mid October 2011. Sorted!

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))) To Jackie and Redruby....jackie I knoew the problems with hospital parking, I had to get to the hospital by 2.15pm yesterday to be sure of getting a place. Thankfully the staff know I come a long way to see OH and let me in, I never stay longer than the hour stipulated.

Ruby glad your Dad is home and the scan was ok.....it does sound as if he has concussion.......

OH emailed this afternoon to say that he has been fine today, he fell asleep for 2 hours this afternoon, he is now getting dressed in the morning and has asked me to take in a clean tee shirt and top for him tomorrow.......I guess he is going to need a nap after lunch for a while. I am going to carry on sleeping in the guest room for a few days after he gets home to make sure he gets a restful nights sleep, I do not want to disturb him if I cannot sleep.

Just had my supper, I was starving...settling down to watch TV its the start of the masterchef final tongiht......

Afternoon all

What a rubbish day! Took a couple of hours off work as I felt lousy and came home early. Was intending taking myself off to bed but I am still sitting here. My eyes have all swollen up with an allergic reaction (not too unusual for me), my leg is all swollen, itchy and inflammed with an outbreak of psoriasis/eczema (sp?), and I have an upset stomach, then I walked in to find my little dog had done a tiddle on the floor (he hasn't done that since he was a tiny puppy) and then finally opening the post to find a tax demand for my husband for over £1600:eek::eek::eek::eek: Now as he pays his tax PAYE through his wages, this has come as a complete shock to us and we cant figure out how this has happened. I have been over on the money board posting, asking for advice.

OK rant over, I think I may make myself some tea and toast and have an early night, tomorrow hopefully will be a better day!

RR glad to hear your Dad is ok. Hope he returns to normal quickly.

Csarina good news that OH may be home in next few days.

Jackieg - sounds like you have had a bad day too, hope tomorrow is better for you too.

Donny - sounds like a good idea meeting up, maybe some other Yorkshire based peeps might like to do so too, I think it was NPM who was asking about a Yorkshire meet, perhaps we could do a mini one? Hope you got what you went for at Glasshougton

Off to get a cuppa and try to calm down

Fingers crossed bramble!

We had an evacuation drill at work, the entire shopping centre poured out onto the street but it did waste an hour
I don't have OH will ever learn, yesterday we had our conversation about him eating meat/everything just because it's there again but did he listen? Apparently not as he just ate a big dinner, then decided to just eat the chunk of beef left over from sunday dinner! I know I got the beef massively reduced but I told him it could be used for other meals or sandwiches and he didn't listen! A chunk of beef big enough for three big sandwiches is not a bloody snack!!

Hello all I'm fairly new here and to old style living!
We got no trick or treaters last night I stocked up on sweets and chocolate at Lidl yesterday (mini twixes, mars bars, etc) and now have a pile of it on my kitchen counter. It's soooo tempting and I'm trying to be good! What shall I do with them? I'm thinking of sending hubby into work with them so at least his workmates can put on the pounds and not me!
