help!! i need a break.

What a mess.The other day I opened my cupboard door above my head to put some glass dishes away ,as soon as I opened the cupboard another big glass dish fell out of the cupboard and landed on my husbands mobile phone.The dish went everywhere smashing his phone to bits all in the washing waiting to go in the machine.It took ages to pick up all the bits then we got the outdoor hoover and vacummed all the bits up.What a shame it was your last gallon jar,and all that tea spilt everywhere at least my dish was empty.My heart goes out to you.xx

This would upset me too - my grandson broke a Blue and white spode plate that I have and I oculd have wept. Love antiques so very much.,I am so sorry that it happened to you and I do hope that you can get another one from somewhere. Don't be so hard on yourself.

ooh... looks like you are having a real terrible day. can't blame you for feeling so frustrated. some days are like that. nothing ever goes right. tough luck, pal.

Hi there Antique Lady. I can't say that i have had a bad day today. I had my exam paper at one of my college disciplines and i have managed to write enough to pass it and get a good grade. I have been shopping with my parents and got some of the things i want to eat or take with me to my girlfriend. I am now cooking a stake for me to eat.... oops, i should check it NOW.. (comes back after 2 minutes...) shew.... it was o.k. You should use an unbreakable tea recipient, at least that way if you drop it, it won't brake.

Oh man, I understand how you feel. I, too, would feel the same way if I'm a collector of something and that thing got stolen or destroyed, I will surely get mad. My day is okay, so far. I just passed my certification exam, one more to go. After which, they can have me sign my new salary increase. I just got promoted by the way.

i had exactly the same thing happen once, and yeah, tea all over the place is a mess! i think it was funnier, though, the time when my brother, sister, and i were young and we decided to make cookies for mom while she was out. we put all the dry ingredients in a bowl to mix them up, but we put the bowl on the kitchen table RIGHT UNDER THE CEILING FAN. the fan picked up the flour and distributed it in a fine layer of white powder all over the kitchen. by the time mom got home we were all in tears thinking we would be in so much trouble because we didn't even know how to start cleaning up the mess. when mom came in she didn't know where to start, either, but at least she laughed about it instead of being mad.

Nope, I had a great day today. In fact I just got back from dinner with Grandpa Bob. Now that would have been a change of scenery for you. I have some old glass jars, maybe not as old as yours, but I do have some,I put flour and stuff in them.

Hi antiquelady, I am really very sorry to know that you have broken your glass jug with full of tea. It is really bad to see a very old antique item getting broken. Further it has taken you a lot of time to clean the floor and the fridge. Hope that you will recover from that loss soon. Have a break,if you need. Happy mylotting.

I am very sorry to hear that. that sounds about like my luck. I do not collect antiques but I do know those pitchers are hard to find these days. I hope you can get another one.

So far so good for me....here....I'll send a little good luck your way! Hope your day is getting better!

I could imagine that big mess you had! Certainly, more than the cleaning of all the mess,it is losing the antique gallon jar that affected you the most. Well, I do hate breaking things too but that happens and could not be avoided.I've actually lost almost all my antique glasses one after the other and it was sad to see them in pieces and being thrown in the garbage.

I hate days like that. Sorry about your tea jug. I know how much you like antiques. Take care and I hope tomorrow is better.

Bless your heart!!!! You've really had a time these days, haven't you? I was just thinking about the trouble you had defrosting your freezer and now this, LOL! My word!!!! And the mess just went everywhere! I hope you will be able to find another glass gallon jug like that one. I was going to ask you if you liked antiques, seeing that your username is antiquelady. Both of my sisters and I like antiques, too. Yes, I guess you would say I'm having a good day, too. I went to the chiropractor today because I had been having a headache all day everyday since Sunday. I was also having a lot of stomach trouble off and on. I was hurting in all of my joints as well. You wouldn't happen to know if there has been a virus going around, would you? It seems like there's always something going around, though. I asked my chiropractor this and he said he had only had one patient here lately that had one. Anyway, I feel a lot better now. Kathy.

That's horrible. I would have used a few choice words myself. Sometimes it just seems like everything goes wrong all at once. I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for or not but a lot of times wal mart carries the glass jugs. They have the ones for sun tea with the pour spout on the bottom. I don't know anywhere else you could pick one up. I love my tea also. I use a tea maker though. I didn't know if I'd like it that way or not, but it's actually pretty good and easy.

my 3 year old son is quite fussy about foods,so i boil some potatoes and carrots,put them in the mixer.so i find it easy to feed my son,the other day the mixer malfnctiooned and the lid flew ,spraying the contents all over the kitchen!!!and i didnot find it a bit funny,though my hubby was looking amused!(maybe to irritate me)

Hi there antique, Thankfully, I am not having a day like yours. I have had many of them tho so I can feel your pain. Yes...you need to take a break. Go for a walk or visit the library...something. Usually when those kind of things start happening in my day...they will continue until I do take a much needed break from the action. I see this was written 21 hours ago. I hope things have gotten better for you by now.

Oh sweetheart!! I'm so sorry this happened to you!! I have done a similar thing too once and it's no fun to clean up after. I'm not sure if they're antique but my parents have or did have some gallon jars that they used to use but don't any more and I could see if they have them still and send them to you if you'd like? Seriously, they don't use them any more so I doubt they'd want them.

What break you need? I think you just let that thing slip in from your hands. WTF., You must be tired for cleaning on your floor with that mess, I guess! lol

oh so sorry to hear about your day my lady hope you didnt hurt yourself from the broken glasses. Just avoid using your antiques from now on so you will not break any of them anymore. Well I have had a bad week and not day I do hope this will end by tomorrow. I do hope you are ok now my lady. God bless and wish you all the best.
