The fact that new public buildings constructed using low-wage labor require comprehensive renovation after just 15 to 20 years suggests either that this is deliberately factored in from the start, or that opting for the cheapest bidder eventually comes back to haunt you.

Me. I have been waiting for a call from a specialist occupational therapist for two months. My phone rings and I have left the sodding thing at the other end of the house. I desperately try to reach it with success. Try to ring back and it goes to answer phone.





Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

Just knocked my glasses off the bathroom cabinet with my towel as I got out of the shower then proceeded to stand on them and snap the arm off. 
Annoying, as I wear them every minute that I am awake.

I feel your pain. I have broken glasses several times. I now always get two sets each time I need new glasses.

I'll be ordering a second pair using the prescription from this visit from Zenni. 
They can be my "cheap spares". 

The ones I have would be $1000+ if I were to get them from Specsavers. 

These will be my third pair in 4 years, after mishaps and losses.

I got myself two biscuits from the pack to have with my afternoon tea. I finished the first and went to grab the second to find no second biscuit. I’d already eaten both but I don’t remember eating two so now I feel slightly dissatisfied and feel like I need to go back to the pantry to grab a third.
