LATEST MOAN FROM YOU AND ME 2017

This is what they look like - no foliage - but at least there are some flowers. If you stand at the other end of the garden, they don't look too bad

 

Something that has been driving me mad for some time now is Clothing Sizes..

My waist size ,My Height ,My Weight, My Shoe size, have Never changed in years and yet now when I go shopping for clothes or shoes etc I must try everything on,yet at one time I could pick my size and more or less take it home with confidence that the items would fit me.


Recently ,Through a Catalogue, I purchased 3 pairs of white sports socks,A Hoodie, 2 pairs Jeans, 2 Casual shirts,a Pair of semi open toed summer footwear and 2 T Shirts.

The white Sport Socks were to fit a size 8, they were more like a size 6, they were that tight they were stopping the blood flow to my feet.

The Hoodie was suppose to be a size Medium/ Large, It Was More Like A Small.
The Jeans, I wear are a 31 leg x 32 Waist, these Jeans I received were far too Long and Wide at the waist, suppose to be a 31 Leg x 32 waist.
The shoes, as I said, were semi open at the top, with Velcro straps, they were the biggest size 8 shoes I have ever tried on, more like a 10..

The Whole Lot Went Back, EL PRONTO, and account cancelled , and never will Return again at my Doorstep.
I do believe that there is to much Junk coming into this country now than ever there was in the past and I am including Electrical Appliances and other goods that had quality assured ,
Made in this Country . .

 

I once took my wife to A&E. We waited in the holding area for 3 hours or more, late at night. When we finally saw a doctor we were told that they didn't deal with our particular problem and as it was the result of a private procedure we should go back to where it was done. It was done in Sheffield. That's a 2 hour plus drive from here. We wouldn't have minded so much if we had been turned away at the triage stage. To wait 3 hours and then be turned away. Its not funny.

@music I agree that clothing sizes should be standardized.

According to one place I shop, I wear a .5 so why am I not nearly invisible? I had traditionally been a medium, now I have no idea. I have to try everything on and it pees me off because I hate shopping for clothes!

 

Number 3 needs a sick bowl!
I'm done in, numbers 4&5 have already been ill!!!
Please don't take offence at me numbering them, it's purely for internet purposes my kids are my life
I'm just hoping 1&2 are ok
Wish me luck

 

Hope you made it through the night ok.
I call my lads #1 Son and #2 Son on here I call them something different to their faces (and sometimes something quite different again when they aren't looking! )

Trust you!

 

I use the expression "number one son". It's what Charlie Chan called his son.

I used to be an assistant manager in a shop. The area manager would always refer to the assistants as "number twos". I thought that rather rude.

@Jack Sparrow yes, second sounds much better than #2...

Spiders. I can deal with ones less than the size of a 50p coin, any bigger..NOPE!

Last night, 2 huge beasts appeared in the space of an hour, took me 20 minutes to kill one, the other ran under a sofa.. after moving the sofas about I couldn't find him so ran to bed and tried to forget about it all today.. then an hour ago my daughter says there's another large beast in the downstairs toilet.. 15 minutes of dancing about with my shoe it was dead.. then another bloody spider runs across the living room!!! I sincerely hope it was the one I "forgot" about! Another 10 minutes of dancing and swearing it had it's life cut short.

Why!? Why so big!? Why my house!? Pam fi duw!!? Dw i ddim yn hoffi pryfed cop!!!!

 

We get'm so your not alone, i don't mine them, but Miss Jiff is like you and so i'm her Night in Shinning Armer
