That my washing machine on a spin cycle at 10pm when everything for miles around is quiet sounds like I'm operating a pneumatic drill in my kitchen. My headphones are drowning it out but feeling really bad for the neighbours right now... sHa_whistle

Not to tell a vet that the hissing, spitting, swiping cat you've just brought in 'doesn't bite'.

Esme heard me say it and then took great delight in begging to differ -she nearly took the vet's hand off. Twice.

I swear she has NEVER bitten anyone in ten years until today - mortifying...

Had never heard of that before. Who knew eh?

They keep the anti-pill quiet - keeps the Remington Bobble-Off people in business

WILT...that someone up there likes a joke...

Haven't been able to listen to music since my dad died last week, but decided to turn my radio on this morning to see if I would be ok...guess what song was playing?

'Alive and Kicking' by Simple Minds

The worst thing is I had listened to it and sung along for a while before I realised what it was...

Must be feeling better as I can laugh about it.

Also the fact my mum took in chocolates for the nurses and realised too late she'd bought a tub of 'Celebrations'!

Ha ha - facepalm runs in the family!

I need an electric screwdriver. And some abs.

Woke up this morning unable to move after yesterday's flat-pack furniture-building frenzy - built another bookcase this afternoon, and now I can't feel my right arm, or stand up. Seriously feels like I've been kicked in the stomach by a horse.

The packaging said it was a two-man build; the clue should've been when it took me 20 minutes, sumo-style, to get all the boxes from the car to my house (I parked 3 feet away).

OW, OW, OW...

Oh, also I learned that using a cushion as a silencer when hammering dowels into wood doesn't work - and makes it A LOT easier to hammer the sh1t out of your thumb. Who knew?!
