    if you want something doing properly do it your self!
    dont care about what other people think, there will always be people who will want to see you fail because they can't succeed

    Re: Lessons in life....

    I learnt today that although we all moan about the Youth Of Today on a regular basis, that actually the older generation are no better behaved.

    I travelled by train this morning to Saaarrrfend and it was really quite traumatic. Now I admit that I am no oil painting but getting on that train this morning was like arriving on the set of Shameless to find they are filming a remake of the cantina scene from the original Star Wars movie. :lol:

    Anyhow, three stops down the line a couple of thirty-somethings got on, one male and one female, both dressed as though they were under ten. They started arguing, although this might have been their normal way of communicating with each other as every other word was F***, C*** etc., To cut a long story short, over the next three stops of my journey it transpired that they had both been out last week and been unfaithful and they were on their way to the STD clinic, together. It appears that she had sex with four men that she bumped into and he had sex with two Polish girls, and basically in her view to be unfaithful with four blokes she knows is better than him sleeping with two complete strangers. All this in front of a carriage full of secondary school students

    Anyhow, when I got off the train and two grandparents were trying to get a toddler back into his pushchair and he was having none of it. Now, you would have thought that Nanny and Grandad would have a magic way of cajoling their grandchild along. Sweets, bribery, letting him push the buggy perhaps, but sadly, they decided to pick him up by one arm to stand him back up, screaming at him what a horrible little F***er he was. Grandmother then told him that she would be glad to see the back of him this evening you little sh*t.

    Oh, and nearly forgot, train was delayed on the way back due to a drunk 50-something bloke deciding to throw a can of lager at the drivers cab of a train as it pulled into the platform.


    I can feel a strongly worded letter to the Daily Mail coming on .........

    I'd have hit them I think?
    says she grumbling as she has spent another day in the mad house trying to get 1 phobic teenager to his first day at college, one to a hearing, another 3 to school who are all completely F******d up because of eeeejits like that.

    When I was a singly I used to go out drinking with the guys all the time (mainly cos there were hardly any girls there!) I tried to keep up but always ended up being carried back to my room!!

    Vodka, lime and soda is my fave drink but I usually wake up with a hangover

    Blondiie that will only last until you have kids, because unfortunately the mens work knackers them.

    I learnt today that my hubby is great, and I am lucky

    Re: Lessons in life....

    Today I have learned that chocolate is really bad for me and I'm in a lot of pain after eating it. I am miserable at the news and drinking water really doesn't make up for it, doc. No booze either - joyous Saturday night. Glass of water and "nibbles on bread" as I have a stomach problem.

    Today I leaned that when you have spent over £600 on a Fitness Instructor course, £40 quid on train tickets to get to the exams, and months studying and revising, it's quite possibly a good idea to take your tickets to the train station when you go.

    Yesterday I learned that when the washing is out and dark clouds begin to gather, it will only rain when you go out to the shop, and be sunny again when you get back.

    You're wrong - it rains when you get in the bath as well!

    Today I learned that husbands need supervising when choosing new hobbies....

    That's very true (on both counts)!

    Today I have learnt that shortcuts aren't always the best. Went sliding down a muddy hill on my arse, in front of a bunch of secondary school kids. Did they point and laugh....... of course they did. Now I have to walk around work all day with a sh!tty looking arse!!!!

    Re: Lessons in life....

    When told that I am office bound so to suit and boot up (luckily I keep "smart" in me locker) because big boss is doing rounds at 1400 ....

    ...... I really must learn that showing the boys on the team that I can still do a handstand at my age at 1300 .......

    .... possibly isn't the most clever move I have ever made.

    The lesson??????

    My big boss can't tell the time and turned up early ........ ops:
    When the going gets tough - drink wine!!

    Today I have learnt that Carephilly cheese seems to last for ages... good news as my diet means I eat cheese so rarely at the moment I need a piece to still be edible for weeks!
    An education is the gift given to those who think they know it all, by those who actually do!
