Morning Maz, we seem to get here at the same time. So son has come home to roost has he? That would drive me bonkers,I have to say! lol I must be an awful mother but much as I love him, we cannot live together for very long.

Morning Daff and all:-) Hope your printer, washing machine, Sky, are all functioning well now and that you have gotten over your brief manic spell as a Christmas Fairy....lol.....

Strong coffee time here. Have a good day everyone. .Mwahhhh!! BCXX

Well..... would you know it.... I have put a nice informative thread up, and have had threatening posts on it no less, lololol wmsl.... I am afraid I couldn't resist.....

The weather here has been glorious... and I have a totally empty wash basket... unless you count the sock that escaped at the top of the stairs.... I can't remember the last time that happened!

BC, have you got your head-dress sorted yet??? Oh and thank you for the hugs, I picked them up on my way into the thread!

Jude..... thank you.... well, the problem is, I tend to get strange things happen to me all the time....... the sort of things that could make you laugh or cry... if you laugh, they don't seem anywhere near so bad!!

Maz.... 30 tee shirts??????? How much luggage did he take??? lol....

Mau... thankfully, I'm not too bothered by spiders, unless they are really really huge... had a camel spider on my wall in Cyprus once... bigger than my hand... now that was some spider..... massive!! The poor mice must have been escapees from one or other of the boys.... they bring me in a lot of presents :¬((

~~~~~~~~ to Vicky....... must get back up to Edinburgh one day... we went years ago when the boys were younger, and I loved it. We stayed with our friend's parents in Glenrothes, and had a lovely time.

~~~~~~~~ to Jean..... hope you have had a lovely weekend.

*rubs hand and looks at Ann sadly, lips trembling and single tear squeezing out of corner of eye*

Now if only I could paint a picture like that, I'd make a fortune... why hasn't someone thought of that ;¬)))

~~~~~ waves to Star... the Gower really is beautiful, isn't it?

Well... I think I might go and have a nice hot shower... I am ready for an early night... I was in bed by 9 last night, and slept all night... well, apart from a couple of little loo visits... but got straight back off each time... hope the same thing happens tonight!

Love

Wheeee.... I am back online!! Would have been back hours ago... can't get my new printer to play, and then Sky wouldn't let me back, either... probably got the hump cos I said I didn't like them... anyways, I had to log back into my account... rummaged around for the details.... R then realised that they would probably be on the hub... yep... so here I am... I now have my desk all hunky dory... but still no printer... I'll try again in a minute, and then chuck it through the window if it doesn't want to play... it is a Kodak ESP 5 for any techno person looking in.... I'll give it ES flaming P, lol

Be back soon!!

Love

Morning one & all. Hope the weather is good where you are.

Daff, my washing machine comes up "Err", which means not a lot lol!!
Never did this til a new electronic board was put in a few months back.
I just ignore it.

Glad your little mice were dead, I run a mile from them, dead or alive.
Wishing you all a good day.

I am about to go offline.... R is now awake, finishing his second coffee, so is a bit less of a Victor Meldrew...... all the bits are in the conservatory... he is rummaging around now for the screws and stuff... I shall leave him rummage for five more minutes, and then tell him where they are, I think... he has found stuff I have been looking for whilst rummaging... so I'm not really being cruel, honestly!! ;¬))

It looks like a lovely day ahead....... see you all later.

Morning Daff so glad you're okay,even if your washing machine wasn't........laughing here at the scene you describe...while detoxing it ..lolol
Wouldn't have liked to have found dead mice eek but we did find a lodger in the bath before bed he (....huge spider) was still there this morning but brave OH took it into garden via the old glass & card trick ;O)

Had to get hose on garden last night as it's ages since we had any rain,not complaining, but it's a worry if your plants keep wilting all the time!

Have a smashing Sunday everybody!

Morning everyone.... *huge grin* I am back.... I am going to give Sky a piece of my mind.... I don't know what has been wrong, but we have had no broadband... lost it right in the middle of a lovely long post Friday night..... and nothing since........ sorry if I worried you..... I am fine, truly. Niggled cos I have been without my pc, but fine!!

Well... let's see... I found two mice, very very dead.... one behind the lounge door and one in the cupboard under the stairs... I am mortified... they must have stunk while they were rotting down!! R says that he could smell something, but couldn't figure out where it was coming from, but it didn't smell too bad.... of course, I still have virtually no sense of smell... funnily enough, what little I have seems to be for the more fragrant roses.... and I would have sniffed that out very early on!

I didn't get my desk sorted.... we had visitors, so hopefully it will be done today.... I can do it myself, have done on a number of occasions, but I can't reach the biggest section, it is right at the back of the garage.... and I am not sure I have the strength to carry it, at the moment... I would normally have dragged it around like a piece of cardboard.

My washing machine blocked up Friday evening... I bought some cheap throws a little while ago... lovely rich red... anyway, they needed a bit of a wash... it says hand wash on the label.... so I put them into the machine on the hand wash cycle, as you do! Well, the first two were fine, then I put the second two in... they are hand wash cos they disintegrate and murder your machine, not handwash cos they would commit hari kiri (sp)...... they bunged up my washing machine good and proper..... that was the last message I tried to get on here... does anyone know what error message three means on my breed of machine, lol.... they are no longer doing the destructions online! But my pc went dead... as did the tv..... although the tv came back later.

Well... I couldn't get the filter off... I guessed it might be that... so went to bed in a right old huff! Got up yesterday... crawled around on the floor trying to wrench the filter cap off....... then realised it was kept in with a screw, Doh!! Gathered a couple of old towels, and two tupperware containers... just in case there was a bit of a dribble, you know.... well, I was a Brownie, Be Prepared and all that! So.... off came the thingie.... and out gushed the water... the filter was really bunged up... found 20p and some make up brushes, and loads and loads and loads of red fluff.... by now, floor is soaked, tupperware is full, but all is well.... reach into the pipe with my fingers, and realise that is bunged up, too... so start teasing it out.... as one does...... LOADS of bright red fluff... then with a whoosh.... out came the last of it.... and the rest of the final rinse water.... Mmmmmmm.

One soaking wet irate lady of the house, one soaking kitchen floor.... family due within the hour for lunch, each bearing part of said lunch..... and one comatised hubby, blissfully sleeping throughout the whole tragedy!! Even the cats didn't want to know and legged it.... cept Jethro, of course... he tried paddling, to see if there was anything interesting in the puddle... then retreated to a safe distance and watched carefully!

Now.... well, my machine is purring softly....... it has felt so much better since I de-bunged it..... and I have given it lots of nice gentle stuff to wash, so it is happy.

Sorry Ann....... I didn't even think to phone anyone!! *holds hand out for slapping* (shamefaced lol)

I'll be back in a mo..... just need to put this washing on the line....


Love

Daff xxxxxx
