I think I've broke my shredder It was working fine, then all of a sudden it stopped. I figured I'd over heated it so left it for 2 hours while I washed up, made dinner, dealt with plumbers who turned up to look at something, and it still wasn't working Oh well, if it's not working tomorrow I'll take a screwdriver to it and see if its jammed, if not then I'll buy another new one which isn't a cheap basics one. I do far too much shredding for those to cope with

Thanks to the plumbers arriving to look at why there's a lump in the bath (they have no idea and said the only way to deal with it would be to replace the bath! :eek:) I've cleaned the bathroom including mopping the floor. However thats it except for dailies. I have no idea where today has gone.

So if its gone its done or doesn't apply.

YORKSHIRELASS

Bossy I am a bit confused about where you are going, but have a lovely time x

I have been in bed for too long. Feel a bit fuzzy. Must have needed the sleep though.

Car needs a wash and hoover and we have very little food in the house so I should really get down to the shops.

But I dont really want to move from this sofa and I am still in my jim jams. Maybe a bacon buttie would help.
