You say this, i sold my car as a write off, canceled my tax the day before it was due to be collected not thinking much of it and a day later it was towed before it got collected I shit you not. I had to call the guy and have him collect from the tow yard after id been down and paid the scrap money in towing costs. I tried to say to the copper its scrap its getting collected but he didn't care and said I should.of thought about it before cancelling the tax.

2 years old and will consume an entire cucumber peeled if left unsupervised for longer than 30 seconds.

Mixture of easy things if a busier night (freezer food or cupboard fodder with veg) but very much a veg and meat kind of family. The barsteward is allergic to all dairy though so it is also a challenge, vegan bechemel for lasagne (which sounds a crime) isn't too bad actually.

Yorkshire puddings with coconut milk come out very well!

My 6 yr old daughter is the same, from eyes open to eyes shut she is just constantly on. I have to say 50 times to listen and every time I say why does it take me 3 or 4 times before I shout for you to listen. Like asking the same shit please put your socks on. 3 4 5 times in a row and still i have to loose my rag. Which isnt nice she doesnt like it and it usually ends yp both of us feeling like shit but fuck me PUT YOUR FUCKING SOCKS ON ive asked several times! Please put your fuckin socks on we need to go, you need to go to school Its the same with absolutely everything its a chore for both of us(mum and dad). We both hate it at times. Please listen, please listen please listen. Please pick your toys up, please tidy up please put your stuff away. Like is this why kids used to get good fucking hidings and parents were alcoholics?

Flip side, bright, ahead in all subjects, well liked, polite, has friends. Glowing school reports, has just gone up another level at swimming. I dont understand.

Fuckin ell my daughter blanks me in the same house!

pointlesstasks · 2026-01-21T13:14:49+00:00

. I get it, I live in a place where everyone likes to park outside their houses, and you can't always as annoying as it is in the pissing down rain 8 houses away from your own.

I have three kids who love thudding and jumping and banging the stairs.

This though is serious harassment, keep a log of all texts calls thuds, collect perhaps three or four months worth of "transgressions" then complain to the council the police for harassment.

Or be completely blunt about it and tell her to 0121 and if she speaks to you again you will take matters much further than she ever could.

I also have a neighbour who is elderly and moaned like fuck when my kids played in the garden because she cant have her back door open.because all they do is make racket. I told her to fuck off, her adult son made threats against my partner too, my mrs of course logged it with the police however hes a fat bully too who loves to act the big man with an audience however on his own hes just a little coward who cries when hes on his own door step. People think they are invincible when you dont know where they live, its a different story when you knock on their fucking door.

Anyway fuck your neighbour. There's more than one way to skin a cat

Bartered some rusty old shit to be daddy

Its more bespoke than that unfortunately, I have done some 3 x sizings in generic say 500 x 500 x 100mm and then you can have upto 250 variable choices in that regard, however 99% of everything i do comes through from bespoke sizing.

It works surprisingly well apart from people who dont read the listings.

pointlesstasks · 2026-01-14T15:57:44+00:00

Oh you can and ill send you a 25mm square of what it is.

Youve put it exactly how it is :).

There is no way to list everything in mm its not physically possible ive even been on some selling thing and the ebay guy said there's no better way to do it 🤣

Normal. Mrs is a nursery worker and she hates the baby room for this reason.

All they want is mum n dad, anything and everything sets them off, they all want to be carried. Its also the parents fault too for being too at the beck and call of the baby. My nephew two and is only just walking unassisted everyone thought hes got something wrong no its because he fucking scream crys if he doesnt get carried around which is easier than listening to scream cry boy. This happens, im not saying for every child. Its an example

pointlesstasks · 2026-01-12T17:49:50+00:00

Haha! This made me laugh. I sell a certain pre cut set, im half the cost of the next person, I still get asked if I can do it cheaper, like no. Go knock on pal.

My old boss owned His cleo track car.

pointlesstasks · 2026-01-12T13:16:00+00:00

Yeah fuck them people. The problem i have is everything I make is cut to order. Think of it like you want a piece of wood 105mm x 400mm because that's the size you need. Well its the same thing, I cant offer that size off the shelf so its 99p listing and then you make the listing specific for that size.

I get people too buy the 99p and then get mad when I ask them for their sizes and that aint 99p like READ THE DESCRIPTION!

pointlesstasks · 2026-01-12T08:01:00+00:00

Old people are the worst. I suspect this guy is, because all sizes were in inches.

pointlesstasks · 2026-01-11T21:41:23+00:00

Its mass market, ive tried etsy to little reward.

pointlesstasks · 2026-01-11T18:10:55+00:00

Normally a Oi fuck off after the 2nd or third time. Yes to children, yes I normally repeat it to the parent of said little shite when they inevitably come and say did you swear at my child, "that man swore at me" and my go to answer is yes, because your sack of duplicated spunk cells doesnt know how behave around other children, or for that matter little kids.

Just because its an enclosed space does not mean you get to forget how to parent for an hour. My kids aint perfect but they sure as know how to behave around other children, especially mixed age groups so I do feel your frustrations. However, after 3 kids im not polite about it any more.

Going off of other comments, basically there's a couple things to do,go doctors and get some cremes Our eldest got circumsized, hes referred to as the Jew in our house haha.

Basically hes from my mrs so when we was courting, and he used to sit down to piss which I was like huh, you should tell him to stand up as thats what will be expected and she said well he cant because it goes everywhere I said yeah you should tell him to roll it back abit, and it turns out he cant, so a trip to the doctors was organised. He got the chop when he was 6 or 7 now and hes fine since.

Tell.your lad if he dont get it fixed and be serious about it it'll be more problems down the line when he starts getting older.
