Bless you I have been missing. It's been a week!!
Lots of building work going on and I started back uni this week. I had no heating or hot water last night :eek: it's a mess here, DS2 isn't coping with the disruption well. It's just chaos!

I did read your lovely news though. how lovely, you OH must be very happy. Congrats to you all

I did have one good thing to report.... I took off today I won't lie and say it went smoothly. Once I stopped climbing I had a mini panic attack .....but I did it

These are two of my pet hates - also add: there, their, they're. :mad: I can't stand it when someone thinks "there" covers all bases, e.g. "They went there to get there shopping. There stuck in traffic now". It especially bugs me when someone randomly uses "their" incorrectly, e.g. "Their are two different ways to get their". :eek: I saw someone on the Dark Side use this earlier and I was like "how can you think that's right???!"

I remember chat on here not long ago about people saying walldrobes, meaning wardrobes :rotfl: and also saying chester drawers, meaning chest of drawers :rotfl: I think these came from Ebay listings but it was amazing how many different people had placed listings using these words rather than the correct words!!:eek:

:rotfl:

I've read people using opening a chest of draws, travelling to a peninsular or going to a center. What is it with r sounds that they stop people spelling correctly. :rotfl:

Oh yeah and "need to aks something".
Anyhoo, last band we saw before the kids came along:

Pet Hates for the collection
Can you borrow me, instead of may I lend; and why do presenters on TV say sic instead of six - that really irritates me.

You might want to edit that Sue :rotfl:

I get all the wrong words...I have a few of my own that annoy me :cool: I think they are down to regional dialect/slang more than anything.

Grammar is a different thing, that can be down to different levels of education, or even a lack of understanding of our language? Or even in a lot of cases.....autocorrect! Don't be too hard on people because they put an apostrophe in the wrong place

Good night, dm.

I used to snap up bargains like that. I didn't realise there was a site dedicated to it
