    Thank you very much for the offer, that is very kind. I think the dine in deal is only on until tomorrow though, unless anyone knows otherwise. I was hoping to find a nice overpriced chicken and get a bit off the shopping like (sorry can't remember who) someone did the other day. As they said they only paid £13 for all their shopping and that sounded good to me.

    Now back off I go to catch up x

    I bought two of the dine meals yeasterday, the chickens I picked were one at £7.xx and a £9.xx so a £34.85 shop for £15 :T

    It's raining here now and all the snow has nearly disappeared so there's hope for those who hate the snow.

    Right, time to get the ironing done as I know I won't want to get up an hour early tomorrow to tackle it as I'll be too snug in bed.

    (please excuse my long post)
    Hope you don't mind me posting (I don't want to sound like a drama queen)
    I kept smelling a weird melting rubber/plastic smell today and couldn't put my finger on what it was.
    We've just found out the socket on the 2 way extension lead has melted (no idea how electricals work so not sure how it managed it) and I'm sitting here in a mass panic thinking all the 'what ifs'. I'm slowly sending myself in sane. My house could have burnt down, anything could have happened, why didn't the fuse/surge protector work, was it my fault? (I'd managed to leave the extension plugged into a multi 8 way socket - my own silly fault I know) surely something should have cut in to stop it from doing this?
    Sorry if I sound like I'm rambling, Hubby seems a lot calmer than I am. I bought both from T's a few years back (obviously have no proof now) so they probably won't care but I think I need to tell someone as if it's gone like this here can it happen to someone else?
    Thankyou for listening to me ramble, a quick vent here and a glass of Baileys should be enough to help calm my nerves a bit. I'll try and take a photo of the socket so people can tell me if I've been a silly mare and this was my own fault (nothings broken or blown up or anything, I'm just down a multi socket and an extension cable is all)
    Gonna go and kiss all my kids good night and hug them as these things don't half give you a wake up call. Back in a bit :)

    Fortunately no harm done, just a hell of a shock x:(

    Saw you mentioning a few days ago industrial theme photos. Reminded me of these taken by an old acquaintance of mine. Brilliantly captures the desolation and character of places like South Bank (Boro not London:rotfl:):rotfl: when in decline in the 60s/70s due to the death of steelmaking and shipbuilding. South Bank used to be known as "slaggy island" in it's heyday.

    When we were talking about these, I mentioned Cherry Knowle hospital. Ive just googled it and found some pics.

    Everybody remember to check your smoke alarms once a week as well especially for this sort of thing:)

    Also check your carbon monoxide detector as well x

    Just the once when I lived in the lakes, but managed to get out after a day. I know it isnt a nice thing to happen, and dont wish it on anyone else, but If I could be snowed in for a week, not being able to get to work, it would put a :D on my face.
