    If you have a 2 gang socket, do you count that as 1 or 2, Michael?

    This is important!
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Especially as I have just remembered another 2. However the one behind the fridge might be a single socket so either 17 or 18. I think the extractor fan may have one in the cupboard - any advances on 19?

    22! That includes the dining area of the kitchen too, but not the utility room.

    I can kind of see this.
    I'm wondering if it is worse that you're testing me by posting about your wanton destruction & vandalism?:p

    I like to see a bit of a wobble from lemon jelly.:o;)

    So, why is wet but dried out and unharmed worse than splattered with cake batter and forever more a wee bit sticky?

    perhaps it's lager mixed with coca cola, which i observed some belgians drinking in a bar in bruges. wheezy, please explain this terrible phenomenon (or confirm that they were german tourists).

    like a sort of lite-version of a turbo-shandy.

    Sounds horrific. And like a recipe for the biggest beer belly known to man.

    Edit: or put another way, the thing you might choose to wash down a calzone stuffed with pasta.

    Diana dying was a pita, ruined my plans for the next day and made life for the next couple of months a bit of a pain. 911 was horrific, i heard about it, switched on the tv and watched it live while crying. But i also had thughts i still have and am not proud of about america's pov on terrorism elsewhere.

    Oh, & on Diana dying, I remember my mum rushing into my bedroom saying "you'll never guess who has died!"

    I jumped up fearing the worst - dad? my brother? nan?

    "who?" I said.

    "Diana! And Dodi!"

    "Give a $h1t!" I said. And I rolled over & went back to sleep.

    My now ex hubby strangely woke me up too to tell me....my reply was "And you woke me for that! I've had a blooming horrendous night iwith the boys and now you wake me up...arrrggghhhh"
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    Having sockets doesn't mean you have to use them all at the same time. My plan is simply to have loads so the appliances can stay plugged in and be used more or less in situ.

    Yes, it's very important. I need to know how far I am behind the Jones's before I ring the electrician.

    It would appear it is the silvercar's you need to keep up with.
