welshbairn Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I think sjc is a saint for saving that poor family instead of just passing by and posting about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Well I sincerely hope things work out for them soon. I have only heard this from you and it's awful just picturing it in my mind. It just doesn't sit right with me. It's like, where family's are concerned, this just shouldn't happen full-stop and there should be a housing system in place for people in this predicament. There is usually emergency housing set aside for those who are considered "vulnerable", which includes families with children. In Glasgow, families can present a places like the Hamish Allen centre and wait for something to come up. There's bound to be something of that kind in Edinburgh as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adolfo Rios Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Fucker of a week since last Sunday. Moved everything out the old house last Sunday and temporarily in with the father in law - Good thing. Keys handed over on Friday - good thing. My mum losing her 14 month fight with a brain tumour in Tuesday....not good. Not good at all. It's been stressful to say the least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expatowner Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I put up some shelves today. Wonky as anything. Seemed to find a weak bit of plasterboard so the plastic toggle couldn't 'bite' for one screw but carried on anyway. Forgot / couldn't be bothered finding my level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 So things really ramped up in the bad person stakes and I did some very stupid shit last night. Interesting looking up from the very bottom of life. Alcohol related? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Ordered our tesco delivery online the other night to be delivered between 4-5. We were out and about before then but were back at flat for 330 for the delivery coming, the mrs noticed she had a missed call from a mobile and she tried phoning back and never got hold. We waited til about 545 and decided to chase it up and the mrs phoned their online delivery service number, took a while to get through to them then when they did they called the delivery man and he said he came to the address and we weren't in! He phoned half an hour before the delivery slot but made it out as if we were out and then the order got cancelled! We have to wait til 5 o clock today to get it delivered now and didn't even get an apology it was made out that we had fucked off and need to get back in the end of the queue for shopping!! Absolutely awful service hope we get some sort of refund or voucher 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Apart from your messages, are you in a happier place today Throbber ? You seemed a little down yesterday. I feel a bit better, failed something in college and went on a downer about everything i go to f**k very easily and bury my head in the sand instead of doing anything to help myself. Hopefully be better when i speak to people at college and sort myself out a bit. Thanks for the concern! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
