Don't put the dishwasher next to a parallel wall like we did!

Having never lived in a house with a dishwasher, and given that I assume that most of the walls in my house do run parallel to other walls, I am totally flummoxed by this statement! I have absolutely no idea what it means :rotfl:!

Neither do I! (shhhhh! ) We've had dw her and in our last house - both houses 'came' with them/ a space for them on the external wall nest to the sink - any kitchen redesigning we did kept them in the same place

Two dishwashers, Tilly? - I quite like that idea Not sure I can fit that into the kitchen plan though!

Boys all back to school today - and I was back volunteering this morning and invigilating this afternoon (2.5hour geog exam - not the most exciting exam to invig by myself ) DD comes home (well - we go and get her) on Saturday - although how long she lasts before going to see bf/ getting bf to come and stay is another issue (actually -she'll have to get him to visit - I'd like her around for some of the school runs whilst the exams are still on) That means the L@keland heated airer will be here over the Summer hols, so I can use that if it's rainy - like today has been..

Manky weather here today - heavy rain for much of it - and apparently it's not easing up much for the week DS2 is off on his Y6 residential to N Devon on Weds. Last year's group got sunburn from the day on the lakes - don't think they'll be much chance of that this year!!

I STILL need to process OH's expenses - his c/ac is already looking slightly sick (although expenses are around £600 and most of that is effectively 'spare', I think - so once I do them his account will be rosier again - I refuse to transfer money around in the meantime - he's still in credit, after all (just )

Time for bed - have spent way too long tonight re-reading Tilly's diary (have just got to the bit where a/c tidy ups are re-named Tilly Tidies ) - lovely read, but also miss some of the posters from back then who just disappeared, for whatever reason

Yes - I have some people's diaries on my subscribed list in the hope they may post again one day. I really do feel like I know some people on here quite well, even if I've not met them!

Counting down the days until the next rent payment is in on BTL to make the next OP - I could temporarily use 'my' money but don't want to be transferring funds here and there. I just need to learn to have some patience!

Had a rare afternoon off from exams today - which as my youngest's school was closed (polling station) was great (my mum looked after him this morning) It was also DS1's last external exam yesterday - so after he finished at lunchtime (had an unsupervised free last period, so he could leave) the three of us went for (the now traditional since 2014) post-exams lunch at N@ndos We then nipped to Sain5bury's to get the last 2 cards needed to complete DS3's Lego card album and then came home. A large, late lunch means just light food tonight - am thinking cheeses, pate & crackers followed by strawberries from the garden DS2 is away on his Y6 residential until tomorrow night, so it's just the 3 of us until OH gets home later

More rain here yesterday and today - great for the garden, but not good for my washing pile! BBC Weather app doesn't show much improvement for tomorrow, either Sunday is currently looking the best day for laundry!
