    Just wait for the 'I thought we'd told you not to play with a ball indoors' years.

    Being positive, the LED replacements are ridiculously bright, amazing for 4W (85% saving, bar light fittings....)

    Another abjectly !!!!! day. Went to collect fish at 11:00, rebuilt the plumbing only for water to start streaming out of the inline heater. Was unable to find replacement tubing, parts, or an affordable heater. £185 down for a replacement filter and heater. Hacked off as I might have been able to repair the parts by tomorrow for c. £40, but by then I might have had all dead fish. 5 hours wasted as well, nothing done.

    #3 took the form of someone (me?) accidentally turning off the slow cooker, delaying dinner until half past ten. This week can only be better, right? Right? :eek:

    Hiya, been lurking on here for a long time and stumbled across your diary. Really enjoyed it and recognised a lot of similarities to my own philosophies on life.

    Since you seem to like Jack Bogle, you might like the bogleheads site, I've been reading it for ages.

    Cheers!
