    Presentation is driving me nuts... I originally did it as a word doc, but apparently it needs to be in powerpoint... apparently no one can cope with more than about 80 words per page...:rolleyes: It makes it VERY disjointed

    Well that's quite ironic!
    Because I pinched it from toots and changed it a bit!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:


    Funnily enough I thought it was in Toots style! You're learning from a master there, Therecan and I am liking your list;)

    Have shopped Soappie style

    wash hair
    switch on hairdryer
    doesn't work borrow DDs (big & heavy)
    replace fuse
    replace replaced fuse in case fuse was faulty
    give up
    complain loud and long to DS about mis-use of household appliances
    take DS to GFs
    pop into Sainsbury as is whoopsie time
    ***think*** bet they sell hairdryers
    select hairdryer
    take to till (along with whoopsies)
    Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY

    Um - keep the coils at the back clean, make sure the seals are working properly, don't leave anything wet/damp uncovered as it causes condensation which makes it work harder, make sure all food is cooled properly before you put it in, don't keep the door open longer than necessary!

    Ooops! Slightly late for my own HHC! Back later!!
    keep it in the 'open' ie not in a larder and in a cool part of the kitchen away from external heat sources. Cool food before it goes in the fridge. If I am freezing I cool food down to room temp, then fridge and then freeze it. I also keep my ice packs in there all the time unless I need the space.

    is it ok if i join this thread - basically i'm a lazy, easily distracted so and so who uses the excuse that i work full time to come in sit down and not get back up until bedtime and my dh is not much better!

    if i have to check in with what we have and haven't done it might give me the kick up the backside i need - we've had rotas on the wall, the works and everything - they just get ignored.

    so please feel free to give me a hard time daily - i need it!
