First the good news - the washing machine is happy at its work again.
Then the better still news - its problems can't possibly be blamed on me. A piece of material had escaped from the drum, got through the filter and got into the pump!
The even better than that news - the engineer had extracted the foreign matter and had the machine fixed by 9:30; in plenty of time for me to take out my frustrations on a few tennis balls.
The bad news is - having the bathroom gutted ad re-done is becoming a problem. After removing all the tiles I have discovered a disaster area. Firstly there was a stud wall between the bath and the shower the bottom of which hardly exists any more thanks to water egress. Then the rest of the walls show what a botched job of tiling the previous owners of the house did; it is going to be a kango job to strip the walls back to the plaster. Groan, groan. 'She who thinks she should be obeyed' expects such minor problems to be solved inside a day whereas it takes her a month to do the far more important job, of sewing a button onto my tennis shorts!
I am expecting lots of sympathy from the men!

Listen T_i_m, if you can kango a new bathroom wall and stick on a few tiles how come you can't sew a button on? :0)

Women used to think some things were men's jobs and some things were women's jobs. Now they seem to think that what were men's jobs around the house are still men's jobs and that, because of 'womens lib'' what were women's jobs are now men's jobs!
Calling all men - join the men's liberation army!

Good to meet up with new faces, jeffie - I nearly didn't get there, as someone went to work this morning with my car-keys in his pocket...the only reason I'm home first is because I need an early start tomorrow - if I'd stayed for dinner tonight (which was already running late) I'd never have got home at all, everyone else was staying over! It was most enjoyable...and err, jj and amberj are still there!!

Looks like another quiet weekend. Good morning Fundy, hope the neck is OK. Just been out to make my weekly contribution to the lottery fund and put puss in the Stalag Luft Katz for a week.
Just making a pot of tea, anybody interested, chocolate digestives for the first person to answer.

Note my post did not say "a chocolate digestive". I'll have ten tonnes delivered to your doorstep, I don't do things by halves, you ought to know that by now.
Joking apart, how are you? DYS did nicely, bit more advance would be very encouraging.
I'm having a fun morning, just posted on the other BB PTG thread and I just know it will drive some over there absolutely doolally. Nothing really contentious, but PTG followers can be a funny lot, you only have to look at Jeffmack as an example. (Just joshing Jeffmack). LOL

Morning a brief visit from the Bunny today - hope everyone is having
a good weekend :>)
Poochy has asked me to look after the tea-rooms whilst he's away,
it is quite possible he had had too many Bods when he did but there
you go!! LOL
OK I have gone through the suggestion box on the bar and considered
the contents and have the following replies on behalf of The Management:
Suggestions that WONT be taken on board are:
A red light on the cellar trap door and installation of 'booths',
Jordan look-a-likes behind the bar,
A Join The Male Liberation Front poster for the wall,
and the most shocking one of all permanent Sky Sports on the TV in
the bar.
Please feel free to continue to submit your 'ideas' Thank you.
;>)

Eldest daughter's hair clogging up the mouse again. Do I shut down the computer to deal with it or risk accidental deleting something important by fiddling with the mouse with the computer on?

Socs is very jovial today, and good morning to all. Just finished a bit of bricklaying before it started raining.
