Oh no! We all do that up here- me as well! I’m Scottish and didn’t realise I did that all the time until I read your post!I was a midwife and thinking back I must have used it in nearly every sentence. Sorry!Sorry! Sorry!I don’t think I could stop even now.
A wee cup of tea, a wee cuddle, a wee back rub , a wee push, a wee blooming everything! How annoying!I still do say it a lot but I will try to be aware of it now.
Margaret x x x
Hee hee hee, took me a while to get used to everything being 'wee’up here but then I probably sound odd to my lovely Scots friends. My surgeon said he would need to make a ‘wee hole’ for my surgery… and indeed he did… so now I have a ‘wee scar’… LOL.
Potmaid/Clare, of course your apology is accepted, and your ‘wee’ vent absolutely allowed; sometimes fun can cross a line or something just catches us the wrong way… as DJ says, ‘group hug’ and let’s all move forward.
DJ that story did make me laugh.
Off now to my wee bed before having a wee haircut tomorrow!!! ;-))
RevCat,
Does that mean we get a wee pic of you with your new barnet then?
Axx
potmaid-big hug to you-i had wle and rads this summer-at a garden party after treatment (just a party in a garden ha ha )i said to an aquaintance-oh hiya-i didn’t recognise you -didn’t you use to have long blonde hair ?yes-you know the reply-i’ve had chemotherapy-i was mortified but she was very gracious-made me realize that sometimes we speak before thinking-best wishes to everyone-stella x
and now i’m off for a wee x
Annie - in a wee while! For today only I’ve changed my piccy to show my chemo curls… one year’s worth of growth. In a perverse way I’ll miss then when they’ve gone!
Rev Cat, your hair looks great! Don’t get too much cut off! I’m Scots and I hold my hand up to saying “wee” before everything. And the other annoying thing I do is start every sentence with “see” as in, “see my head, it’s dead sore”, “see these shoes, they’re dead comfy”, “see those shops, they were dead busy”. There’s a lot of “deads” in there too!!! I’m married to an Englishman and he takes off the Glasgow accent brilliantly now.
Mxx
I ‘wee’ at everything too… It’s def a Scottish thing… You don’t even notice saying it but when I speak to my English friends they all comment on my weeing! Although they also laugh at my other Scottishisms like clapping a dog, looking after the weans lol
Have to confess I prefer ‘wee’ everything to ‘like’ everything. ‘Dead’ everything is also widespread in NW England, so I am guilty of that one, along with ‘I guess’.
In the (east) Midlands everyone (male and female) is “m’duck” and around Manchester a lot of “chick” compared with Glasgow’s “hen” (women only).
M’duck used to annoy me, espeically if said by a teenager in a paper shop! Sorry Leics/Notts/Northants ladies
My sister came up to visit me and my son being used to me having no hair said to my sister when she was just ready to go out
Do you want me to brush your hair! My sister replied no why do you think I need to brush it?
My son replied well yes it looks like you just got out of bed!!
I was in kinks. X
As I’m now waiting to get a date for diep reconstruction, have had to let work know that I’m going to be off. From one of my lovely collegues who knows thats what I’ll be off for I got “arent you lucky, you’ll get a tummy tuck and pert boobs out of it out of it, so it makes up for the cancer doesnt it?” arrrgh!!
Personally I’d rather keep my jelly belly, not have been poisoined and burnt on a regular basis in the last two years, been slammed into an early menopause from the chemo and tamoxifen and still have my(to me anyway) lovely matched breasts.
Spent the rest of the day with a lisp due to biting my tongue so hard
xx
I wouldn’t have ‘bitten my tongue’ Alex, I would have said ‘I’d rather stay the way i am, thanks’ and glared at her. (I’m good at glaring!)
Alex, what can you do with people like that. Offer to swap? Offer she can have your desk by the window when you’re dead? Ask if she has got her will up-to-date too because you know she could get hit by a bus tomorrow… Remind her that you get your holidays AND all that time off as well… wasting your breath.
Silverjill, I love it, that’s a great lad 
Hymil, “swap?” works wonders in those situations!
Revcat, I love your wee curly hairdo! I too will miss the chemo curls when they have gone, which has surprised me. Must get a wee update pic.
(I am a Scot living in the deep south and realise how assimilated I have become when I go home and say “little” instead of “wee”!)
Thanks LL, before it was cut it was starting to resemble a Kevin Keagan perm! (for those of enough maturity to recall that)… it still defiantly curls up every night.
I guess the most annoying thing I say, by dint of repetition, is ‘I guess’.
Brand new colleague having a go at me for something… at some point I said that my brain didn’t always work as quickly as it used to. Quote AS A FRIEND perhaps you shouldn’t be working then unquote…
friend? really? The second word is ‘off’, I think… pick your own first word… Jane
OMG Jane - how did you stop yourself from decking her! My colleagues are still at the ‘looking at me with well meaning pity’ stage - not sure which is worse!

Looking good Cat :o) x
Jane… here, borrow my big, black KJV, kept for just such moments… apply to said person’s head… in love, of course! Either that or just tell her to look up Genesis 9:7…
