Cleared our bedroom earlier of all the carp that was in there. Have tons of washing but TD STILL broken :mad:. Part out of stock.

Piggers - where in Manc are you? We're south Manc and just over into the next county. Come round.......help us clear the loft out
Seriously, I can understand how you feel. We are away next weekend with MIL, FIL, BIL and his wife. NOT looking forward to it......

Today I have:

swept and almost demossed most of the patio (hate that job)
2 lots of washing
HHF - keeping on top is getting easier now
HHE x 3 walked dogs, took a new route and got a bit lost! never mind.

I am attempting chicken fajitas tonight........this could be interesting.........:rotfl:

Pigpen - this is why I dislike organised religion. Far too many rules and regulations for my liking. I hope this doesn't offend any church goers!:o

Gasman gone. We have no heating. He is coming back on Monday afternoon - I will have to take a half day. grr.
Going for a HH something to warm me up. We only have 1 poxy electric fire in the lounge. DH has gone to his mates to see if he has a portable one we can borrow.

oops!

I decided to clean the hinge of the hob cover, so then I decided to clean the vents (this was marmalade related - I managed to 'flick' some out when I covered it up) and unscrewed the cover and soaked the bits in hot water and household soda (miraculous stuff that - makes grease removal a doddle- and I use it because of this thread). I forgot you're supposed to 'lock' the 'hinges ' down with an allen key, so I didn't.
Upshot of it it I cannot now get the cover back on - despite a trip to B&Q to buy new tools (and this is in between ferrying girls around - DD is 15 now, as of about two hours ago -they went bowling)
Cover is going in shed, I'll do without unless I can snaffle a big, strong man.

Looks like it'll be in the shed a L-O-O-O-O-N-G time then :rotfl:

so that's where the day went - but I have done loads more laundry - shall iron in a bit after a :coffee:

Anyone else? :coffee::coffee:

Thats the sort of thing that would happen to me, I've broke the pendant on light fittings before, after having the brilliant idea of cleaning them. Such things can end up costing a fortune

Flying wise, I've got rid of a pile of ironing and about to make the tea shortly.

Valli

I wouldn't mind BUT I've done it before. At the time I was still married so had a bloke who managed to force the things down and I re-attached the cover.
I think I am destined to live with imperfection!

Shysarah (((HUG))) sorry to hear about the ESA result. As far as I can make out, if you're not in possession of a current death certificate, they don't give you any money!:mad: I'm dreading getting summoned; I was retired on medical grounds a decade ago, I have a piece of paper from the Civil Service that says I'll never again be fit to work, both on physical and mental health grounds, but you can bet your boots they'll give me "nul points" also. Anyways, m'dear, try for an appeal, you've got nothing to lose, and whatever you do, don't take it personally.:o

Just realised - yes I have done something stupid

but no-body's going to shout at me, or swear at me, or call me rude names

another plus of being single!
