    El, Can you read Mrs? My advice from that pillar of wisdom called Skinty was softly softly gently gently etc not 'Get ye finger out' (Depending on where his finger is of course)

    In the meantime feel free to make a cup of tea and make yourself comfortable !

    Well what a frustrating day:mad:

    'Nice' I hate men /drivers/ people from Pakistan chat with Mary over breakfast which she started with those immortal (and ironic) words...'I'm not a racist but...' (but I think you'll find you are)

    Followed by packing a vacuum bag with a duvet and looking for the nozzle...and looking...and looking...and it has NO nozzle! !!!!!!! Yes I'm supposed to roll the air out or undo a bit of the corner and attach the hoover...but as the hoover is a Dyson it has knobs and buttons and whistles and a Hoover head which I can't manage to detach. So I had to lie starfish shaped on the bag and focus on crushing it.
    Then I put the new newly washed duvet cover (other covers are going back up north to 'dress' the house) and it has a bloody fault so won't fit! So I have taken it back to Mr T where they have no doubles left...GRRRR.

    So I find myself with two options
    1. Find someone to punch continually in the face for 10 minutes
    2. Walk for a couple of miles to get some fresh air and then watch a group of musicians playing at a local pub.

    Maybe I'll change out of my Peanuts t-shirt 'Is there no one to rescue me' first, although it does seem strangely appropriate!

    I am annoyed so I am going to go for a 2-3 mi
