I can cope with rain. It's the cold wind that goes with it - I am working from home today and I have the bloody fire on!

'Fee Earner' as a job title!

I have just received a letter from the solicitor that is doing my conveyancing. The letter says,

"XXXX will be your initial point of contact. Later your file will be assigned to a specific fee earner who will handle your file on a day to day basis."

What the fk is a fking 'fee earner'? I was expecting a solicitor or licensed conveyancer to be handling my file, but from their description it could even be a hooker!

Why do people think they can just take an umbrella and not return it. I have just found another has gone missing. I am going to get some made up with “I am an umbrella thief” written on them and see who takes them then.

The current trend for the word "new" to appear in front of the name of a TV show in listings.

I saw this the other day but it was "All New You've Been Framed".

Then they showed cam corder clips that had 10 year old dates in the corner.

You put something on eBay.

Low start price, to attract bidders, and a reasonable BIN.

Some nobber always places a bid at the start price. No more, because the next bidder becomes the highest with only a tiny increment.

All that first bidder is doing is removing the BIN option for anyone else. They aren't bidding seriously, just hoping, for some deluded reason that they'll get something worth £10s or £100s for 99p.

Tossers.

I've got 2 very smart umbrellas to get rid of and this is not helping.

Putting in contact lenses - Most mornings, they go in fine, but this morning, it didn't matter how much I rinsed them, how much I tried to wipe off that imaginary shard of glass that was tearing my eyes to shreds, how much I pleased or begged, how much bad language I used - I just couldn't get them in.

I binned that one out of sheer frustration, bent down to get one from the cupboard and blatted my head against the handbasin, standing up and twisting and banging my leg against the sharp edge of the bath (there's no bath panel on it at the moment) and let forth a muted torrent of bad language and foul mouthery that which Alice Cooper himself would be ashamed to hear. (except all I did was mmmm, mph, etc as my 5 year old was wondering what Daddy was doing in the bathroom and I didn't want her to learn "Daddy's special words"

I'm wearing glasses today.
