MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
My wife decided that she would go to work today even though she was in no fit state to do so and despite my telling her that she shouldn't be going. I get to my first lesson of the day - ring ring - can you come and get me and take me home, i'm not well. Cue a whole day of lessons wiped out to go and take the poor little thing home. Cost me £150 that did. She intends to go to work tomorrow....
Is she kinky? Cuff her to the bed for the whole day 😀
couldn't she call a taxi?
Next time she does that - just drop her on her arse
Surely living with you she must know your always right. 😆
She has been told in no uncertain terms that if she wants to eat for the rest of the months she is not working tomorrow.
If I was her I'd tell you to **** off, surprised she hasn't already.
You're not her though. Contrary to popular belief I wouldn't go for a hairy glaswegian bloke for a wife.
Why is she unable to get home without you?
Why would one incident of having to go and pick someone up wipe out a whole day of anything? Does she commute to the other end of the country to work? Though, as said, why couldn't she just get a taxi?
Is this funny in the same way as a mother-in-law joke?
I was thinking that myself coffeeking, considering you posted on here at 11am why is the day wiped out.
We live nr Innerleithen and work in Edinburgh. She works in the city centre, I work around the edge of the city. It took me 45 minutes to get to her then an hour to get her home... I then have to go and collect the kids from nursery later which she would normally do. Voile - days worth of lessons wiped out.
This doesn't really add up.
It does if you know what time my lessons were scheduled for and whether they could be moved or not. 8:30 til 12:30 and 4:30 til 8:30 btw.
Fair enough on the timings then, but why couldn't she get a cab again?
So why can't you pick the kids up early from nursery and do your lessons from 4:30?
maybe if you spent less time on here posting, you would have more lessons?
are you sure she's ill?? could be a troll
Maybe she's a troll, and he's ill?
Maybe you can give your anger management classes spread out during the week?
Why would she bother ringing a cab when she has numb nuts here to run around after her?
AHD hits nail on head!
mmm it's all gone quiet at Trolling Zoo Fighter end - must be tending to the sick.
I've been to the shop to get some pills.
Cab would cost around £50 and i'd still have to wipe out the evening lessons to pick up the boys.
[i]i'd still have to wipe out the evening lessons to pick up the boy[/i]
Which you would have had to do anyway if your wife stayed at home as you suggested - yes?
So you 'lost' £75 so you could pick your unwell wife up as she was conscientious enough to try to go to work- hardly a big deal is it. I don't see what's wrong with that. And I'm quite sure you were able to reschedule your lessons. You would have thought you would have had the 'if I have to pick you up it'll cost me' conversation on the way to work.
Work & kids doesn't go together too well
Do what we did & live on one wage until the kids are old enough to look after themselves
There's a point - I must remember to mention to my wife that our 17 & 18 yr olds can look after themselves now [most of the time anyway] & does she fancy going back to work 😉
Did her illness involve her losing the use of her legs?
Binners, no but the shop is a couple of miles away and it's pissing down. I dont like the idea of an ill person covering my steering wheel in germs either.
Like all TZF threads, something doesn't quite add up here. What time do you have to pick up from nursery, how long does that take, and how long would it take you from home back to work (I presume this is much less than an hour if you can do centre of Edi in that time)?
So are you picking the kids up early so you can do your lessons from 4:30 then?
Also this £150 you 'lost' - surely if someone needs x amount of driving lessons from you to pass a test the fact that they miss one lesson on week y still means they need x amount of lessons, so you still get the £150 at some point. Unless they of course went elsewhere for this weeks lesson, however understandable that is it's unlikely.
Exactly aracer I enjoy exposing his ill thought through nonsense posts.
Personally I drove in and out of ed at rush hour in about 25 minutes each way the other day, so none of it seems to add up 🙂
I'll pick the kids up from nursery at 4:30pm and will be home for just before 6pm depending on roadworks and traffic. I would get back to Edinburgh for around 7-7:30pm depending on traffic.
CK - Try Musselburgh to Gorgie in 25 minutes when the bypass is rammed - its not going to happen.
what on earth is she doing out of the kitchen?
Dont want her to cough all over my food and infect me before my race on Saturday.
Eh just a thought but go and pick the kids up now, or whenever it will enable you to do your 4:30 lessons. It's not rocket science is it?
[b]Voile[/b] - days worth of lessons wiped out.
Why does a light semitransparent fabric wipe out a day's work?
😉
Gary_M - why are you so interested in me going to pick the kids up and go out to work this evening? You wanting to come round here and tend to the missus - she'd chew you up and spit you out in tiny little pieces. 😀
What do you call her when she actually does something 'wrong'?
Leave the kids at nursery til you finish at 8.30 - they wont be thrown outside when nursery finishes left to fend for themselves, they'll be safe and you would have done your lessons, sorted.
Cause you're ****ing moaning about it for absolutely no reason. You talk so much shite it's unbelievable.
Your wife? - wouldn't touch anywhere you'd been with a barge pole.
Touche.
Now, now boys LOL!
Trolling Zoo Fighter - MemberDont want her to cough all over my food and infect me before my race on Saturday.
Would that be the Big Bike Bash?
I think their might be tickets available and its great value etc. Plus some guy called Luke is arranging beer.
Im actually starting to think I would liked to have gone if I wasn't going to be a year older and would like to spend my bday with my partner.
Anyhows - Trolling Zoo Fighter - go look after your good lady. Poor lass could do with some sympathy!
No its 10 More at Moray.
why are you so interested in me going to pick the kids up and go out to work this evening?
We're just trying to help prevent your wife's illness costing you more than it has to. Of course that might mean you're unable to use such hyperbole...
Thanks for your concern. It's all sorted now. I've managed to get someone to cover this evenings lessons and they are passing a pupil on to me for pass plus, so its all god.
Oh, my mistake - I was going from the end of the M8 through to hollyrood, I took the rammed 720 and then down the 701, ive no idea what the roads you were using are like.
So glad you got it sort, I'll sleep easy tonight. Maybe instead of posting your 'drama queen' post you should have got on the blower and sorted it first. So you've lost nothing? Apart from a little more respect.
Well done, idiot.
Blow me.
TZF - is that what you're going to order her to do tonight for all this disruption she's caused you? Its the very least you deserve
SiB - nah. She has a gammy temporomandibular joint just now so is refusing to...
Perhaps i've missed something here, but if it was going to cost you £150 in missed lessons and only £50 to pay for a taxi, why not just pay the £50 for the taxi?
Regardless, women tend to play the martyrs, so good on you for picking her up anyway. Hope she's on the mend soon.
Fair enough I suppose. Hope she gets better soon for both your sakes.

I cant belive I just read all that drivel and this was the only sensible thing written. 😆
Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach! 😉
And those that can do neither spout cliches.
Well things do go wrong and we're human-not machines!
Sod money, Wife comes first and while frustration occurs-who loves you?
Unless you hate your wife and she hates you I can understand, otherwise if you both love each other then just get on with the TLC! 😀
Cliched it may be, you it seems can't even teach today because you don't have the first clue as to basic economics. Either way its to your own detriment. Dont see what your problem is.
because you don't have the first clue as to basic economics
Or crisis[?] management
Maybe he's just having one of those days.
We all have the odd day that miffs us off even when the events occur and we get on with them.
Relax.
we get on with them.
indeed - that's what most folk do, some feel the need to go all drama queen on internet forums too
...some feel the need to go all first class arsehole on internet forums too. (not directed at uplink)
Take it thats me? Twas a joke.
It seems that you have a 'can't do attitude'... 'can't do that cause of this, can't do this cause of that'. It won't inspire confidence from your pupils.
Hope your wife gets better. You obviously have a lot of respect for her.
I'll be the expert on teaching driving thanks.
You might want to get hold of a copy of the First Buses 62 Bus timetable too George !
Oh look he's changed again.
Hels - aye - every half hour. Bit difficult to teach folk to drive on a bus thought. 😉 You heading up to Moray?
Looks like swine flu now, so she'll be off for a few day...
Moray indeed.
Wish I had Swine Flu - not that keen any more to ride my bike for 10 hours this weekend - the course had better not be pish.
The 62 drivers could do with some tuition I swear one of them was doing about 80 heading into Eddlestone the other day or perhaps I'm just getting old !
It has around 9.5 miles of climbing in a 10 miles course. Good fun though. Me and Jock are hoping for a decent showing in pairs.
Why thank you dobbo!
Maybe she's a troll

Some kind of beast, definitely.
