I'm feeling a bit chuffed with myself today. I got the washing machine to work again. So not only have I saved some Quids I've also saved the planet by not sending yet another "Consumer Good" to that great hole in the ground. And I've learned stuff too. It's a win-win-win :biggrin:

And you will all be glad the learn that my clothes are not niffy anymore. OOoh that's another win to add.

Tea anyone? I've just done a fresh pot

Glad I was working whilst all this talk of fish and chips was going on, no way I'd be able to resist

Saw an advert for a certain beverage the other day, 2 mins later I was in the kitchen making one

willpower? Me?

Had another good day, not eaten much, 18+ miles on the bike, bring on Saturdays weigh-in

I have been on-line, but diverted onto Admin's "Bored?" thread. I have been demolishing things, and got stuck on level 8. :wacko:

Time to log off and trundle off to bed. Good night :hello:

Weight Watchers for me tomorrow afternoon. I think it is very difficult to loose weight with a splint on your finger. :whistle:

Take the splint off, or knock off a lb or two to compensate

It is very tempting just to sit and read, or watch tv, or something, rather than do something active, with this injury.
I spose that as long as I have not gained weight....

Taking the splint off is not an option. That would mean having a permanently mis-shapen figure, and reduced dest dixty dexterity.

Wow, it's certainly not doing your typing any good NT, get well soon.

What's wrong with a mishapen finger anyway? Friend of mine was born with his little finger bent, he's now 55ish and whenever he wants to convey '5' by way of holding 5 fingers up I always say '4 and a half?' luckily he gets the joke

Right, time to find a film to watch, way too early for my bedtime

IIRC Night Train is taking anti-biotics, some of which can have lots of nasty side effects.

There is nothing wrong with a bent finger, but I think I should try to avoid it. It could also make things like needlework and typing difficult, as the finger would not straighten and would have no strength if the tendon heals at a peculiar angle.

You have missed "27 dresses", but I guess that would not be your type of film anyway. They are kissing, even as I speak! :blush:

Today and for the next few days, I need to avoid looking out of my lounge window. :sad:

My next door neighbours are in the process of emptying their daughter's flat, as she is now living in Canada. So they have hired a skip. It is most definitely not just rubbish going in that skip: various bits of furniture, a bed, shelves, wine rack. I am telling myself very firmly not to look, and to ignore it completely.

Could you tell them about Freecycle? Maybe they could just put up a general 'we have a skip full of stuff, help yourselves' message.

Can I distract you with a cup of Tea?

How can I put this diplomatically? This is one of those occasions when I have to take some steps backwards, and let people get on with things their own way. Lots of other people walk up and down the street and would see what is in the skip.

I have used Freecycle very successfully in the past. I did suggest Freecycle to neighbours on the other side, when she had some comparatively new floor boards to find a home for. They were collected by someone very local, as they were turning their garage into a room. She had put them in the car port, while deciding what to do with them.

When I replaced the garage door, my "old" door was refitted to a garage three doors down, where the garage door was in a very sorry state. I also acquired a lovely bookcase/cabinet from some neighbours, and a thermal cafetiere hot water jug. :blush: ;)
