I have had to buy a new iron.
The thermostat must have gone as the collar of my work shirt started melting and sticking to the plate as soon as I started this morning. And before you ask, yes it was set on the normal middle heat setting and was still quite warm half an hour after being unplugged!

Rowenta or Phillips, the one that failed?

Oh, and the wheelie bit has been put out ready for the morning - strategically placed with the wheels and the lid hinge facing the wind so that it will not be blown open or down the path with the predicted wind.

Cookworks - Argos special. Shouldn't complain as it was a £10 special over five years ago.

Had one, only one, of their kettles. It had to be switched on and off at the mains.

In defence of Cookworks, we've had a couple of their kettles at work. Imagine the amount of tea & coffee a group of 15-20 civil servants can drink and how much punishment the kettle will take, yet both lasted over 3 years. The Phillips one inbetween didn't even make its first birthday!

We heard him rummaging for peanuts in my waste paper basket as we were enjoying our pork joint. We crept up the stairs and eventually he shot out of his hiding place and disappeared through a crack in the skirting.
Well, a formal declaration of war has been made, the traps are baited, and his days are numbered. Silly boy.

I can't really blame him for invading. It was cold and windy when I went out on the bike earlier this evening. I just wish he and his pals would stay out of sight and earshot, somewhere under the floor boards. Lord knows, there are plenty of warm pipes down there to snuggle up to.

Maybe he's returned with a tin opener, having seen your pilchards!

No chance! Those precious post-apocalypse foodstuffs are safe inside The Vault. Even John Martin McDonnell can't get his hands on them.

I imagined @Andy in Germany had gone the full Les Hiddins (aka The Bush Tucker Man).
