    This one's a hexagonal screw.

    Probably covered by one of these

    You can get better, but for £15 it should cover most eventualities.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I love this time of year in Sydney. It was really quite warm and lunchtime but that's given way to a nice cool evening.

    LOL! I bought more, and everyone now has a distinguishable plug each so there can't be an argument. Also, three of us are now on the lightening chargers so there is now a heavy surplus of 30pin leads, which is what Doozer uses.

    Dog dog expresses interest in the tv advert for the donkey sanctuary. She looks very perturbed by it all and keeps looking at me. I already said no to fir loads about donkeys, if dog dog and he gang up I'll be in trouble.

    Okay, who let 'doctor' Gillian McKeith back on the television?

    I need a kick up the bum to sort DS's room for a photo. This should be it, shouldn't it?

    Decided I needed to go food shopping. Simple you'd think as I had in mind that I was going to get some particular sausages, some bread, eggs and milk. Simples .... Lidl: No longer do 2-pints of whole milk, but they had the eggs. Mr S: most sausage slots were empty, no sign of the ones I was after, got the bread. So instead of having a nice "Full English" .... it'll be just scrambled eggs and tomatoes or beans on toast.

    Milk's annoying. I have that for my Weetabix.... and even 2 pints is hard to get through before it's gone off.... I often have to eat Weetabix a lot of times in a row to make sure I use it up.

    Sausages are Walls Microwave Sausages - an expensive extravagence.... but they taste nice. I didn't want regular sausages (which are 8 in a pack) as they're pink/raw so don't look nice after nuking. Walls are three individually wrapped packs of 2 and are already cooked. Usually £2-2.50 - http://images2.mysupermarket.co.uk/Products_1000/42/110042.jpg

    I have been in a foul mood today. Combination of things, nicely topped off with a serving of PMT :eek:

    Couldn't wait for the day to be over, so I went straight to be for a nap when I got home. Hopefully that has done the trick!

    My dad turns 70 this year, he's been a bit shakey for a while, I think I knew exactly what it was but was hoping it was just general signs of ageing - it has now been confirmed as Parkinson's. Not great news, but no medication needed yet so that is presumably a good sign. I don't really want to google the carp out of it because all that will matter is how it affects him - but if someone else has had to deal with it in their family and knows a good source of information then I would appreciate the pointer.
