Apparently to buy 2 goldfish @?1.49 each we will need a water filter (?35.00)..........replacement filters every 4-6 weeks (didn't look at the price) given up the ghost by then...............oh and some kind of tablets to get rid of the chlorine in the water.

Now riddle me this we have kept goldfish for nigh on 30 years ..................2 of them living 'til 10+ years, a couple 5-6 years + a few in between and one who lasted a day (that was Dave........RIP.......so young but sadly missed) why the feck would we need all of the above when a bloody good clean of the tank once a fortnight, a gravelly bottom, a wee bridge to swim through has done us until now.

Rant over.....

Is the purchase of the fish conditional on you paying for the other shite too?

I don't feel Particularly noble. Hugely reluctant, but no other choice.

Och well... Everything will sort itself out in time. No need to get overly emotional about it.

Indeed it is......it is their 'policy' not to sell their fish unless we already have the shite at home (do you think they expect a signed and witnessed affidavit) or willing to give them our first born child in exchange for all the shite.

Caught us on the hop..........we should have lied.

But we know for the next time.

And a wave to a very tired YouKayBee.

Evening all :hallo:

Not much to say other than I'm bollixed and wanna cry at thought of going back for more mental-ness again tomorrow:upset:

Didn't mention before but, we, as in hundreds if not thousands of nurses in my trust, were underpaid by massive amounts last month, like I'm short between ?500-600. Big amount when ye have a mortgage and other bills to pay and only one salary coming into house. Arseholes in salaries and wages have still not sorted it out and it's getting to stage of pure helplessness:upset: Just dunno where or who to turn to for help. Unions are being useless- media did cover story at time but no mention since- I dunno what we can do Like is it legal to underpay staff and not rectify it within a certain time?? Maybe ye would know Satz?

Just needed to get it off me chest as it's really starting to wear me and many others down. Thankfully have some savings to fall back on but there is talk it will happen again next month and if that's the case- I dunno what the feck will do.

Jacks that's just bollix about the goldfish! Better you give yer custom to the wee local petshop anyways

Sorry bout yer chook Molls xx RIP Clarissa x

Good on ya for going to the meeting Foxy xx

Nighters all xxx
