  • Afternoon, terrible nights sleep, which resulted in me sleeping in. I wanted to get into town early and get DD birthday presents, but didn't make it in until 11am, DS came with me as he needed new school shoes.

    It has been a very expensive morning and will continue to be spendy as DD is having a birthday meal with her friends tonight, although her birthday is not until Thursday.

    Last night the microwave set on fire :eek:, no idea why as I was just softening some butter and had literally been on 10seconds, anyway no damage done but microwave is kaput, need to look into getting a new one.

    Penny a similar thing happened to our microwave. OH put some food in it and it stated to spark and make strange noises. We tried it again later that evening and the same thing happened so we just replaced it. Its strange because there was no indication that it was going wrong.
  • :eek: to the microwave Pennywise. We once had a wheat bag set on fire in ours and it been in only a couple of seconds. Luckily DH saw it and manage to avoid any damage. We hardly use ours either.

    Hope DD enjoys her birthday meal xx

  • They just don't make them like they used to, the steam gets under the paint very quickly and its all downhill from there. Our MrM had some brabantina ones in the clearance but I cant remember the price.
  • Morning and Happy Valentines day :heart2:. Don't do valentines in a major way but got DH a card and chocs and I received a card and some beautiful roses, DH is out with his first love tonight...... sports club:rotfl:, he has a match and I get the TV to myself :D.

    DD had a fantastic meal last night and was very spoilt by her friends and rather well looked after by the Italian waiter;), I find it amusing her father does not :rotfl:. DD has asked to go to the zoo tomorrow as a family, she loves animals and always chooses do things based around them, I will pack a picnic as weather is supposed to be fine but cold, so we will wrap up warm, I will probably treat us all to a hot chocolate though whilst there.

    Dentist this afternoon for myself and the kids, fingers crossed I don't need anything doing, I also have a new dentist as my old one has gone on maternity leave, so feeling really anxious as it takes me a long time to trust a dentist, really don't want to go:(.
