With crayon... :eek:

By a five year old.

Really you ARE better with the original...sometimes life is better in black and white. Jimmy Stewart in particular i seem to remember was a bit pink.

........and so we return to the northern wastelands. This bit folks is actually a bit of a myth, the north is actually quite nice but very windy today. Fortunately there's nobody out around here with a flat cap or a whippet so no worries about being hit by an errant hat or lightweight dog when you're out delivering your Chrimbo cards.

Yes, just been giving advice to a friend on stress and it being, in part, about not being in control. As ever, I have come back to my house and the lodger has heeded all previous conversations and is living in harmony with the house. IS SHE HECK!

Remember those non-functioning smoke alarms? Guess what? Yes, I know, you're ahead of me here. 'It was bleeping' she says, about the non-fire service installed one, the one with a battery. 'I changed the battery' she says. Well guess what, I have changed the battery for the one in the kitchen drawer and since I did that IT HASN'T BLEEPED. How utterly amazing.

Had a bath this morning but had to rinse the bath first as she had left a layer of Jif in the bath. I wised up to this last time I was up and I got even cleaner than I expected to be (with a nice tang of lemon:rotfl:).

Wonder what joys are awaiting me tomorrow in my OUT OF CONTROL house.:eek:

ahhhh this would be the feelings of being out of control rather than not meeting others expectations

is this lidger more hassel than they are worth?

...or she's not meeting my expectations to f**k off and die. Yes definately more hassle but a financial lifeline. So long as she doesn't build a cannabis farm in the house I will look back on this period with rose tinted glasses I'm sure. Quite how she didn't end up under next doors new retaining wall in the summer I have no idea!

And it's a weekend, so no wheelie bins marching up the road, shoulder to shoulder...
