Mundane facts about your day...

I live by myself - can someone please explain to me how I manage to generate so much washing up?????

Only 2 of us here. Gawd knows how every cup, plate etc etc gets used. I blame the Jesus lookalike in the back bedroom.

Because youre not eating straight out of containers with your fingers like all the other single blokes?

There are many man methods for reducing washing up. For example, when cooking a pizza turn the box inside out and eat the pizza off that rather than dirtying a plate. Another favourite of mine is to only drink out of cans thus saving on cups/glasses, but thats also possibly because cider already comes in cans...

Is that the one they put just under the skin? My mum has had one for a few years, hers comes out on Thursday actually.

Yesterday I did something I swore I would never do,

I cleaned my engine with a toothbrush - I feel so old.

That'll be it! I also do my own cooking, washing and cleaning - although I never have fitted stereotypes...

I cleaned my engine with a toothbrush....

Is this some kind of weird slang for something rude that I dont know about?

.....off to search the Urban Dictionary...

Not sure if this is something good or bad, but good luck.

No no, I really did clean the engine of my car with a toothbrush...

Spare a thought for us today as we enter our 6th day without heating or hot water. The piece of poo otherwise known as the boiler is on the fritz again! This time complaining of a problem with the air filter. I have looked inside to see if those pesky mieces have had the wires again and nope, everything looks intact. According to the agent woman they still can't contact the landlord. Grrrrrrr. As usual my friends and relatives are falling over themselves to offer the use of their bathrooms...NOT and there is only so much you can do with a warm flannel. Tried washing my hair in cold water on Fri as we were going out. It gave me a bad head and a stiff neck. I'm in no hurry to do it again. Costing me a fortune in electric running the 2 little oil filled radiators that are keeping 2 rooms liveable.

Ow Gadge that sucks! I feel your pain - I had no hot water or heating for a week when I first moved in to my new house!

It was absolute torture! So much Lush stuff yet unable to use it - the irony!

Boil the kettle and fill the bath with a few inches and invite a friend with a jug!

I thought the whole point or renting was that things like this weren't your problem and the landlord had to deal with the faff!

If I were you I would look into getting your rent reduced/ written off for this month as they are not providing you with livable accommodation or basic amenities!

Luckily no. It's just attached to me by sticky pads with a contact on them and then it's wires and a box of tricks which I have to carry round.

It's all down to a little incident which happened a couple of weeks ago. I'm on the mend now though.

I hope this is some well loved classic and not a 15 yr old Vauxhall cavalier

 

[Laurie61]

Well I now have a new microwave installed, I am inclined to strip the old one and have a play. If I can bodge a repair with the door release it might be worth keeping as a spare ? Or build a death ray from the bits

 

[Kickstart]

No no, I really did clean the engine of my car with a toothbrush...

Once practiced fancy doing a few more?


Pleeeaassseee?


All the best

A little classic Mini! Her name is Dolly! Her 'body' is at the repair shop but her 'heart' (engine) is on a table in the shed!

And @Kickstart - hell no!

I have taken off every single nut and bold - and cleaned them all!

I detest cleaning! Although I did look really weird buying 20 toothbrushes and 5 packs of j-cloths in ASDA.....

 

[Laurie61]

I have never owned a mini but have driven a few, most modified in some way or other. One that stands out was a countryman with an austin 1300 gt motor, that was quite nippy.

I came home on Sunday evening in the throes of a rapidly escalating 'bug'. I spent Sunday night and most of Monday 'sleeping' on the bathroom floor - for two reasons, convenience for the regular periods of 'exercise' that were occurring and because any attempt to get off it was like entering the late stages of cosmonaut training.

I finally ventured out of the house this afternoon, only to realise that I couldn't find my wallet, which I knew I had brought into the house (luckily), or at least I thought I did. I had a vague recollection of 'not putting it in the usual place'. I've just spent two hours looking for it and finally found it in a place that I have absolutely no recollection of putting it.

Still, the house is a little tidier now.
