I hate it when......

[Seahorse]

...... Im waiting for loads of goodies in the post, I get all excited thinking they will be there waiting for me this lunchtime, I get home and nothing, absolutely nothing, so the process starts all over again.So much time wasted.


Feel free to post your own '......'.

[swirlyarts]

I hate it when I decide to sit down to do something crafty and Tara decides that she needs my undivided attention - and then Anya needs to go to the loo and Tara starts screaming!! Just happened for the thrid time today!!! Ah well, the joys of parenthood! Wouldn't change it for the world though!

[Seahorse]

We supposedly have our best ideas when in the bathroom, maybe you could join her and think up some more fab designs.

Let me know when Ive crossed the line.

[Sommerwood]

I hate it when I have lot of orders to do but have got to go to work and all I want to do is stay at home and get them done!!:mad:

[Seahorse]

I hate it when I just made some earrings in about 2 minutes flat and nothing else goes that smoothly.

[Sommerwood]

I hate it when somebody buys something off you on E-Bay and you take the time to wrap it up nicely and post it off quickly to them and they never leave blimin feedback!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

[swirlyarts]

Good idea about joining her in the bathroom but I often think 'two minutes to get somthing done!!'
What I hate about ordering things is that I often wait in all day and then decide that the girls need some fresh air and come back to find that the parcel has been delivered but put in the wet sandpit or that I have to travel for an hour and a half to pick it up!!! Aaaarrrggghhh! Rant over I think :rolleyes:

[swirlyarts]

This is developing into a rant thread - thats good though - we should let it all out!

[Seahorse]

This is developing into a rant thread - thats good though - we should let it all out!

Indeed.

What silly delivery person leaves a package in a wet sandpit!!Silly banana!

[Peter]

It beats getting to the door and finding a little note because the bloody delivery driver is in a different time zone to everybody else and couldn't be bothered waiting 30 seconds!:(

[swirlyarts]

That has happened to me too a couple of times but it doesn't annoy me as much as people leaving the parcels in the sandpit to get ruined :(

[Seahorse]

I hate it when I try to buy something from a site, it doesnt work and I email until my fingers bleed an they dont reply to try to sort out the issue.Theyd make money if they helped me out!!

[Seahorse]

I hate it when im asked to go on lunch early coz no ones gona be in, I get back and there are 3 people here!!!!!

[Seahorse]

I hate trying to put a triangular bail through a expensive drop only to chip the drop as im doing it!!(put its on th back so hopefully no one will notice).

[Funkyhand]

I hate it when the postman doesn't wait to see if you are in.. today I was waiting for a delivery and the postman just pushed a note through the door saying I wasn't in! He didn't even knock the door..I chased his van down the street..he was pretty embarrased because he had been caught out!!
Anice x :o

[Seahorse]

Good for you, he should be totally embarrassed.What was the point in going to your home and not knoc on the door.
The lesson for him to learn there is-Dont mess with a craftswoman!

[Seahorse]

I hate it when I have 2 gorgeous crystal beads in a sealable bag, I go to gently place them i my storage box and I drop the bag/crystals on the floor.

[Sommerwood]

LOL, oh you poor thing, doesn't sound like you had a very good day!!

I hate it when you wake up convinced its Friday and then realise its still only Thursday and you still have today and tomorrow to get through work!!!:(

[Funkyhand]

Oh I remember that feeling... used to happen to me every week. I work from home for myself now so the otherside of the coin is that you don't have the weekend off..I work all the time day and night!!
Anice xx :)

[jenig12]

I hate it when I drop a container full of beads and have to scrabble on the floor trying to locate them all!

[Seahorse]

I hate trying to put a triangular bail through a expensive drop only to chip the drop as im doing it!!(put its on th back so hopefully no one will notice).

I hate it when I realise they are both chipped!

[swirlyarts]

Oh dear!! Not good Seahorse!
I hate it when you kindly let your nearly three year old daughter play with your craft box only to find she has knocked it over (again!) and spilt everything everywhere. I must get her her own box!!

[Seahorse]

I hate it when I forget to put deodorant on.

[swirlyarts]

I hate it when I forget to put deodorant on.

Hee hee - done that as well as getting out of the house and realising I'd forgotten to brush my teeth too :o

[Fran]

It's great getting the orders but when the money is in your pocket and you still have to go home and make the orders ................somehow it loses it's shine!

Fran

[Fran]

I hate it when I drop a container full of beads and have to scrabble on the floor trying to locate them all!

Been there done that and it's not at all FUNNY!!!!!! (stop laughing you lot)

Fran

Would we laugh?? :)

[Suchaco]

I hate it when somebody buys something off you on E-Bay and you take the time to wrap it up nicely and post it off quickly to them and they never leave blimin feedback!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

I hate it when somebody bids and wins an item on my Ebay and then doesn't bother to pay:mad:

[Seahorse]

Cant remeber if Ive already said this but il say it again if I have as its peeing me off.

I hate it when I contact a site and they dont reply!!
Im trying to buy from them, give them money, but do they reply to my query?Noooooooo.

[handmadeheaven.biz]

I hate it when you type out a reply to a post and you don't press the right button and you lose the lot!!

[Seahorse]

I hate it when I want a load of things but they are different prices and I have to work out which is best to get from where, but then they dont have the colour that I want, then i need this to go with that from another company, or I have to wait to place an order coz they are out of stock on one thing so I may as well wait and do the whole order together and ive spent more in postage than I have in product!!

[Seahorse]

I hate it when I realise i dont particularly want to go home for lunch because I know there will be nothing waiting for me in the post.

Tho I did have a triple whammy delivery on saturday so I had a good day.

I also hate it when I wait a few days for some beads,and Ive made a necklace within half an hour, and then need some more beads for my next creation!!

[swirlyarts]

I hate it when you give your daughter some of your glue to make her cards with, which she uses liberally, and only when you sit down to start making your Christmas cards do you realise that it was the last tube of glue!! Which said daughter has just used the last of, to fill up a shell!!! :confused:

[Seahorse]

I hate it when I place a big order thinking there will be enough to make a necklace AND a bracelet only to find it isnt.
Im not a happy bunny.

[Seahorse]

I hate it when I have to place a big money order(company has a high minimum)where I buy a substite chain which isnt ideal but will do, only to find the day after you receive the order you look on the site and it doesnt say 'not in stock' anymore!!

[Seahorse]

I hate it when I looked at a site, then forgot about it, not adding it to my list.
Then got what I bneeded form another site only to be reminded of the previous site where they are selling the same thing for half the price!!!
I feel slightly sick.

[Seahorse]

I hate driving to a town specifically to go to a craft shop only to find it isnt there anymore.

[Apple Tree Crafts]

...people phone up wanting a space at a craft fair, and they sell kitchen implements imported from somewhereorother, but they insist they've read our T&C's.

Selling imported er....stuff...does not make you a crafter. Silly woman...:mad:

Jules

[Seahorse]

You tell em ATC!

I got a delivery but also my credit card bill.

[silverthistlebeads]

I hate my credit card bill and are dreading it coming in this time

Francesca

[Seahorse]

I hate it when I really want to make some jewellery and all my crimpers/wire cutters etc are somewhere other than here.

Also hate waiting for a order for over a week and its still not turned up.

[indri]

I hate it when a burglar alarm goes off at silly o'clock and I can't tell if it's mine or not.

[Apple Tree Crafts]

the smoke alarm doesn't detect smoke, but it'll go off the moment you grill bacon...it's been dubbed the Fat Detector.

And the radio alarm clock is worse...five minutes to seven and my peaceful sleep is rudely awakened by Sarah Kennedy's screech. Roll on 7.30am and a soothing dose of Tel....I love Wogan.

[Seahorse]

I hate it when Ive got 3 necklaces to make and I think Ive run out of clasps!!

[Apple Tree Crafts]

......my sewing machine plays up. I finally get time to sew, and it's not playing the game!


It's missing stitches, but this has happened before, so at least I know how to fix it now. Just got to loosen the screw on the bobbin case very slightly!

Ha! It's not getting the better of me this time, oh no!;)

Jules

[Seahorse]

Good for you, you show that sewing machine whose boss!!

I know nothing about maintaining sewing machines!Probably why mines on its last legs.

[swirlyarts]

I hate it when you buy a new pair of scissors and they come in a packet that says all over it 'we recommend using scissors to open this packet'. Duh - why do you think I've bought the scissors in the first place??? Luckily they were pinking shears and I had some other scissors but..........

[Apple Tree Crafts]

Himself uses my fine point scissors, my best ones, to trim his finger nails. Blunts them, and ruins the pints in one fell swoop...thanks love!

And right now, a scarily ugly bloke just turned up at my door and said he'd come to sort out my draught prooofing. I know nothing of this.

Phone Himself quickly and hiss down the phone, trying to smile at the scary bloke on the step. Yes, says Himself, I organised it months ago.

Yes, well, thanks for telling me. It's no good saying it was in your diary. You have your diary and you are out. I'm skulking upstairs trying to keep away from said scary bloke......grrrrrrrr!!!!!

Jules

[Seahorse]

I hate having strangers on the house, even when my parents are in.Its not nice entering a room to be faced with someone that clearly isnt a family member working on some part of the house and not knowing it was going to happen.
I think its especially horrid for us ladies.

[Apple Tree Crafts]

...phew!

Sounds really horrible, but he was so ugly he was really really scary, and his manners didn't improve him any.

Would have been better had I been expecting this guy, but I knew nothing about him. He probably thought I was completely mad, because I wouldn't let him in until I'd phoned Himself and Scary's employers. Better safe than sorry!

Himself got a right ticking off! dozey wazzock....

Jules

[candles by lisa]

Hate it when you have been asked to look after the kids tamagotchi again - and kill it - I don't think I want to go home today - forgot all about it in my pocket!!

:mad:

[Seahorse]

I hate it when I get paid early but Ive already used up this months budget Ive allowed myself to spend on crafts!!Soooooo tempting.

[swirlyarts]

I hate it when you come up with a really funky idea for making little creatures only to find the name that you have come up with for them has already been used in stupid cyberquest adventures :mad: Good job I can add another vowel and my search of google shows nothing of that name - phew!

[Peter]

Aaggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Don't you just hate when you've just written a hugely long email, catching up with a friend in Australia, and you're just ready to send it - then AOL throws a major wobbly, freezes, and in order to get back online you have to do ctrl/alt/del....losing everything you've just done.:mad:

:mad: buggeration:mad:

Jules

[Seahorse]

You have my sympathy atc and you have been very reserved in your swearing, I believe 4 letter words would be fitting but Im sure we are too ladylike to use them,hehe.

My current annoyance is having a new idea, trying to work out what the heck it will look like and trying to work out how many of what I will need to get and hoping to get it all in one order from one company.
My imagination and patience are fading quickly!

[incywincy]

I was just going to write exactly the same ... but my internet seems to go off just as I press send on a forum message!

[Peter]

As you know, I love being with Orange - not. After writing a very sensitive e mail that Orange managed to delete, I opened a google mail account. It saves itself every 2 mins, gives you 2,800 megs (!) and generally behaves itself, so I use that one for the important stuff I can't afford to lose! :)

[swirlyarts]

Gmail is great!!!! I love it :D

I hate it when I go to work on a necklace only to find its been lost in ther ether!!

[Apple Tree Crafts]

I hate it when you are putting £1000's of potential business someone's way and they never return your calls or emails.

Three important calls I'm waiting for....they'll all ring back at the last blinkin' minute and I'll end up rushing round like a looney organising or reorganising their smeg ups.


aaaggghhhhh :mad:

If tact doesnt work, give them a kick up the botty.

[Seahorse]

....I have just crimped beads onto wire and hooks only to find a bead had escaped meaning its an odd number of beads and i have to do it all over again wasting sts crimp beads!!!

[Seahorse]

..hate it when i glued tiny flatback stones onto some glass, balanced it on a flat (if small) surface, only to realise that at some point it had fallen off then the rhinestones had all slid out of place!!

[EMEvans]

I find glue dots (the real tiny ones) great for sticking little crystals on cards, don't know what it would be like with glass though.

[Apple Tree Crafts]

.....say they've attempted delivery twice already.....what rubbish!:mad:

I was in both days, and I can see the driveway from my workroom! They even said they left cards both days to let me know....well, the faeries must have pinched them because they weren't on my hallway floor...:confused:


Aagghhh....the ratbags had better redeliver tomorrow.....:mad:

I have now got my boy's chest infection so I really feel crappy....and I'm going to work in a busy fancy dress shop tomorrow, doing holiday cover for a fortnight....pain in the bum, but the money is good.

I'm eating antibiotics like sweeties....:mf:

Jules

[Seahorse]

Ive just placed a big sts order which Id planned out yesterday, even sat and worked out how much things would be plus VAT then individually if bought in bulk etc only to find prices have seriously increased in compariosn to the catalogue.

One price had nearly doubled yet the number had halfed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Seahorse]

I hate glass hearts chipping when I try to put the triangle bail throught the iddy biddy hole!!!

[Buttonberry]

lol sommerwood - you have said all mine before i could!

I was too busy in at my boring full time job, for an evil corporate giant who shall remain namelss (they'll be spying for sure), and have only just had time to log on!!

[Apple Tree Crafts]

........Aagghhhh again!:mad: :mad:

I just went to reorder some woven labels for my stuff from www.namemaker.com (http://www.namemaker.com).

I'm horrified. They've put their shipping costs up. Shipping for 40 little labels is $24 (£12)...that's more than the damn labels cost!:mad:

I've emailed to complain....:mad: I am SO miffed! Especially as I really love these labels and can't find them elsewhere. Oh buggeration!

Jules

[swirlyarts]

Bugger - thats where I get mine from too! Don't need anymore yet but still it's a bit of a nuisance - to put it mildly!

[Seahorse]

I havnt placed an order for nearly 2 weeks.I actually feel odd about the possibility of breaking my run of not spending.
Luckily the credit card fairies have 'jumped' to me paying any bills next month, my bill should be lowish this month!

[JBJB]

I hate it when....

you've got loads of sewing orders to make and the blade on your overlocker sewing machine decides to be blunt without any warning, so you have to dig out the telephone number of where you bought it from last time because that's when you did all the research finding out who sold them the cheapest and then you have to ring them and hope they're in stock and then you have to wait for it to arrive in the post so that means the day you had planned for making sewing orders then turns into a jewellery-making day instead so you have to put all your fabric away and get all your beads out and spend half an hour looking for your pliers because you know you've seen them somewhere and there they are, under the pile of fabric you've just put away...... and, breathe!

Still - beats going to any office any day ;)

[Seahorse]

Ahhhh,if I could Id send you my overlocker so you wouldnt have to wait.

[Seahorse]

I hate it when I have some gorgeous beads threaded to a bit of wire..that wire then gets caught on my cardigan and all the beads fly off and I can only find half of them!!

[Sparklez]

Even worse is the moron who says 'Why? Why are you making that when you can buyit cheaper in the shops?'

But....I hate it when it takes you two hours to unpick something it took you 2 minutes to put together (wrongly).....aagghhhh :mad:

[swirlyarts]

I hate it when you read other peoples posts/blogs and they manage to do things while watching tv so you decide to try it yourself. Watched a bit of tv and got 2, yes 2, things listed on Etsy, not the 20 I had planned!! I knew there was a reason I don't watch tv :mad: Stupid bl***y thing!

I remember the days when the postman actually came in the morning - now I am lucky if he is here fore 3pm.

Come to think of it remember twice daily deliveries - when did that stop - did I blink and miss it? I hate having to go to the dank dingy sorting office to pick up parcels - but I suppose it is better than having to work in the dank dingy sorting office though!!

It will just make it all the more exciting tomorrow when you pick them up.

Our postman thinks he is being helpful by leaving parcels on the doorstep, outside table and even on one occasion, the sandpit - would have been fine if he had put the lid on properly but he didn't and we were away for the weekend and it chucked it down...... Very soggy books :mad: So I don't mind going to the sorting office to pick parcels up - beats having them ruined/pinched!!

That happended to me too just before Christmas. The kids wanted heelies (and those puppies cost a fortune I can tell you). Ordered a couple of pairs up and the delivery guy very kindly left them in our barbeque - yep barbeque, it is a big brick chimmney type thing so the top of the boxes were covered but the rain was hammering it down - and 2 pair of soggy heelies later - one very unhappy mum.!!


Lisa

[Sparklez]

Did you know that posties aren't supposed to leae parcels unless they have your written permission to do so? We had a parcel go missing that the postie had 'helpfully' left. Worse was it was recorded delivery and he signed for it himself!!

Carol

[mjbelkin]

There was an article in our local paper about a helpful postie who left a parcel carefully hidden in an elderly couple's bin. Unfortunately, they were away and the bins got emptied while they were away, and because of their age they had been able to apply for special help with the bins which meant the binmen collected their bin - they were not amused :o

[swirlyarts]

Yep - had those things happen too - postie left the parcel on the green bin and luckily our binmen won't collect unless you leave the bin off your driveway - ours wasn't thank goodness. Our postie has also signed for things special and recorded delivery and where we used to live the postman used to peel the recorded delivery stickers off just so that he could post them! :o

[Seahorse]

Just ordered 100 envelopes, had to have them delivered to work or theyd be abandoned outside home.

[mjbelkin]

I try to get most things delivered to me at work - it just saves time, and there's always someone in reception :D

Of course, the only problem with that is I then have to sit frustrated at work when I just want to play with my goodies :pc:

[Seahorse]

Ahh, but then theres that slightly unbearable yet enjoyable anticipation of the few seconds before you finish work, open the package and plaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hehe, just have to add, I actually set the scene!!Make sure Ive cooked my meal, got a drink, tv is on the right channel for background entertainment, get myself comfy, then and only then doI open the envelope of delights!!

[liz300art]

certain delivery companies won't deliver to me beause our house in on a lane (well more of a track ) and the huge vans the use won't go down it.

I've spent several hours on the phone to the suppliers of ribbon telling them this an all the ottherwise helpful assistant said was "if we tell them to deliver to that address then the will!!"
anyway then the package never made it and the company lost it in the warehouse!!! Then the suppier said that I was liable to pay for it as it was a large order, despite never recieving it!!
Magically the next day i got a phone call from the delivery driver that was at the end of the lane!! so I had to walk down the half a mile land pick it up and carry it home. luckily the package wasn't heavy.

The time before I had to take the wheelbarrow!!!:)

[Seahorse]

Grrrrr, doing the triangle bail in the glass bead hole and it keeps chipping!!!!!

[Seahorse]

Ive spent about £100 on lovely goodies and I cant really do everything I want with them as Im waiting for other bits to turn up.
Ive realised i want to connect a row of beads into a chain but hadnt actually thought fully how i going to do that.

[Seahorse]

I hate it when I specifically bring in a couple of projects to complete and Ive already done them by 9.45am.

Also I hate it when I measure 100 4mm bicones and they dont make up 40cm necklace length!!!

Im trying to do write ups and all my new stuff is at home so I cant remembr what Ive made!How annoying.

Don't you just hate it when you are going to a wedding at the weekend with people you haven't seen since uni and you get a big stinking cold - grrrrrr. Not the look I was going for!! Going to wear one of my vintage dresses so at least I will look good - even if I don't feel it!

Take paracetamol and vit C.

Yeah - will do after tea. Think oranges for pudding tonight!

Just threaded 100 4mm beads onto wire...only to realise I needed to add a pendant half way through!!!

Just been looking at my long chunky necklace trying to sort out packaging dilemma and I have noticed some wooden beads which should be the same are completely different colours!!
Do you think the colour could be effected by something?Storage?I keep them in a grip seal bag.

Dont you hate it when you need flatback diamantes for a project, buy the smallest/cheapest pack you can get only to realise you actually need one more than is in the pack you bought.
I need 21 flatbacks, I have 20 flatbacks.

I always carry an ideas book everywhere - one of my own recycled ones naturally!

i hate it when I see jewellery that looks almost identical to mine which has blatantly been copied bead by bead by a so-called "designer". More like a big fat copycat with no imagination/talent of their own.

... You spot a photo of the beads you want (loose beads in the pic), calculate how many you are going to need then buy a 16" string of beads only to find when they arrive that there are only about 10 beads on the string that are separated by those plastic bead separators.

I hate it when I say something to my hubby and he automatically says 'Eh' when I know he heard me the first time!!!!!!!!! Sometimes I just ignore him to see if he is interested enough to ask again!!!!!! That normally backfires!!!!!!! Sue xx:D:D
