The government is telling pharmacists and drug manufactures to stockpile drugs ahead of the end of transition on 31st December.

In the middle of a pandemic.

What could go wrong?

When I met DW, we both came from a dishwasher-free childhood. Indeed when I got up to do the dishes first time we ate with DWs DM and her partner, I was praised for doing it "properly, by hand".

It became a running joke, for years. DW, her sister and MiL all banging on about how they'd never have a dishwasher.

Then we went a family do at DWs sisters. Very nice. Our lad went to put a glass in the kitchen. DW said "don't forget to wash it" and he said "Oh, no need, aunty said to put it in the dishwasher". Needless to say there was a quiet pause ...

A few days later, DW was chatting to her sister, and mentioned (as you do) "How come you got a dishwasher ?". Apparently they'd had it for ages after MiL got one. And the gaslighting bitches then insisted that not only had they told DW, but they had said to me that I should buy one to help DW out. Luckily by then DW had caught them both out in lies, so no harm done.

In fact it wasn't that long after this that I discovered MNs "relationships" and was able to start to work out what the hell was going on. Although not before I was assaulted (bruises, police etc ...).

That's todays therapy ....

Excellent but of editing

..... and here's the link🤦‍♀️

Sorry I forgot in my excitement

yoikes · 05/08/2020 16:47

Well ikea can just fuck right off 😡

Got there. Queued for 25 minutes to get in. Got to kitchen section. Oh...sorry...no dishwashers.

Um.. what? Your website states you have them. Well, we don't have any.

WELL THEN MAYBE YOUR WEBSITE SHOULD MAKE THAT CLEAR???

ARRGGHHHHH
(ROCKS IN CORNER)

So I've ordered one from ao.com and I'm going to bed.

😡

yoikes · 05/08/2020 17:01

What's happened to mockers???

It's posters like them that makes MN worth reading for fucks sake!

Fucking fuck.

As I popped onto the other thread - Mockers has been posting elsewhere up till the last few weeks
I put "Mockers" into advanced content search and found posts replying to his
He'll probably be back here when Brexit gets interesting again Smile

DrBlackbird · 05/08/2020 18:29

Mockers is a he? There goes my mental image of Mockers as Tim Dowling's wife. Mind you, the humour reminded me a lot of my BiL...

ICouldHaveCheckedFirst · 05/08/2020 18:43

Re Eat Out. Yes, they just deduct the 50% from the bill, no questions asked.

JeSuisPoulet · 05/08/2020 18:49

Oh Yoikes, after all that and with you wanting to hermitify today too Sad At least ao will be done in a few minutes, so less trauma.

I've spent 2 hours picking elderberries. Yes, 2 whole frigging hours. Dd buggered off after 2 minutes citing Roblox emergencies and I sat there trying to ensure none of the "toxic" stems or spiders made their way into the bowl. In hindsight it would have been the perfect time for an audiobook. Currently have 1 jar of jam, 1 jar of chutney and 1 small bottle of vodka from them. Although I got so pissed off trying to get the bastards through the large funnel I forgot to put sugar in the vodka and only realised after putting in the actual vodka...managed to tip a smidge out and add a tablespoon of sugar but it's going to be a tart one!

DGR I hope you have distanced yourselves from the in-laws, they sound less than charming. The relationships board has helped me loads over the years too under various names.

Hope no one is getting illicit Xanax - PHE have issued a warning over some that stain the tongue blue (thought I'd mention it as there was talk of stockpiling meds earlier).

Remove a word and make a lot of money for the government ...

You do not usually have to pay business rates for home-based businesses if you:

<span class="italic">sell goods by post</span>

JeSuisPoulet · 05/08/2020 20:03

FFS leave and conservative voting Greek house owner's child just turned up on the doorstep to give dd a card. She's flying out tonight to go back but they've been back a week and seen 5 families from school! So much for isolating! I had to explain why I wasn't inviting them in Hmm Funnily enough this morning a school friend pm'd me fuming because a guy in their area came back from holiday, didn't isolate and played cricket before testing positive for COVID. This is ridiculous.

JeSuisPoulet · 05/08/2020 20:04

Sorry that sounds really ungrateful for the card, which was lovely, but unexpected non-isolating guests in a pandemic should expect not to be welcomed IMO.

yoikes · 05/08/2020 20:09

Quite a few masks being worn at ikea today which surprised me...it's in quite a rundown area and very brexity.

Awful pictures from Beruit...those poor people:(

BigChocFrenzy · 05/08/2020 20:09

DG Assaulted Shock
I hope you are all safely away from toxic outlaws and NC

itsaratrap · 05/08/2020 20:10

Started again about 3 weeks ago, replacing what we’ve used. What a time.

BigChocFrenzy · 05/08/2020 20:12

Yoikes Your D/W disappointment is another reason why people are buying online

  • when bricks & mortar shops have crap service, there is much more wasted time, energy, petrol etc than with online shops
BigChocFrenzy · 05/08/2020 20:16

Thank fuck I only have to prep for a possible 2nd wave winter ripples .....
UK Westministenders get a kick in the teeth from their own government, just when you may be on your knees with recession and pandemic

JeSuisPoulet · 05/08/2020 20:18

Except when your ASDA order gets cancelled the day before a birthday BCF Wink Non-perishables maybe.

JeSuisPoulet · 05/08/2020 20:19

I also have seen 3 people wearing masks under their noses today while driving to the dog walk Sad

yoikes · 05/08/2020 20:34

Just got a call from the bank...
My card has been cloned!
Ffs.
What a day!

yoikes · 05/08/2020 20:35

Oh yeah....3 people in front of me at the co op all had their masks under their noses...I mean...wtf?

I may well eye roll myself into another dimension soon....I 🙄

Peregrina · 05/08/2020 20:37

The rules say you have to wear a mask. They don't specify where you have to wear them!

JeSuisPoulet · 05/08/2020 20:43

That is exactly what I said to dd Peregrina!

pussycatinboots · 05/08/2020 20:58

@Peregrina

The rules say you have to wear a mask. They don't specify where you have to wear them!
They do look like they'd make handy lightweight knee guards for gardening Hmm
QueenOfThorns · 05/08/2020 21:08

The numbers are not improving around here Sad

I have managed to forget to order an (according to DD) essential component of our BBQ food for Friday, so I am planning to venture into Aldi tomorrow. I will report back on the mask situation.

Westministenders: Don't forget to stockpile. Again.
