So is it just the fact that all the kids are at home that has you all het up?
Actually no ~ but the numbers of them roaming the streets because their parents couldn't make any other arrangements for them at such short notice has not done much to sweeten my temper. Anyway the boys' school is unaffected because it is too small to have many in the appropriate unions so it has only been the THW off today.
Other factors have come into play to totally p*ss me off today. Mainly businesses who want to take my money but not provide the goods and/or services to the expected standards, or to anything approaching acceptable standards and if one more f*cking recorded voice tells me my call is important to them I shall

I don't actually give a fat rat's arse if the call is important to them. It is important to ME and I am the one paying for it.
