I've just taken apart my dishwasher because it didn't work properly. I think I've found the mistake, but now I've the problem to put all the pieces together again.
Maybe I'll allow me to drink a cuppa first...

I remember taking apart a carburettor once, many years ago with my then boyfriend. We cleaned it, put everything back and there was just one, tiny piece left over at the end. Amazing how one, tiny piece of metal can be so worrying!

On another note I'm having a generally rubbish day today. The weather is dreadful, absolutely raining cats and dogs. Plus my daughter was supposed to go to have a riding lesson from an instructor with big horse but big horse flipped her lid about back travel boots being on, so wouldn't go on our lorry (truck). Had to cancel the lesson with many apologies and now had to buy some special shaped pads for her legs which will needed to be put on with bandages next time ( a job I hate doing). So we are home now having gone nowhere but wasted loads of time. It is still pouring with rain and I'm in a foul mood! Later I have a good two hour round trip to drive taking daughter back to college. 


There,I feel a bit better for that!

I'm sorry to hear that, Davina. Sometimes you feel like the whole world has conspired against you. Hopefully someone will put the kettle on for you at least...

Yay - I did it!  Everything seems to be nicely in place now (ok, one of the screws was missing, but I found a similar substitute), and the dishwasher actually WORKS!  I feel nearly as proud as last year when I managed to finish reading "Ulysses".

I put it on for you. Come around! And make sure that the stairs make no noise. 

Pah! Lightweights!

I'm currently lending out series 2 to my friends, and don't have it back yet, either . Oh well...I suppose I must content myself with watching ASiP again...

The photo on my driving licence is due for renewal. So I have no choice about getting a new photo done -cost £5 and then sending off the licences. Cost of the new licence £20. This seems like a good little money spinner! Grrr!

I think really the only thing you can do in this situation is fly to London, ring BC up and have a nice quiet dinner with him at the Tate, preferably at a window table.

Or if that doesn't suit, order a takeaway.

At least it's his fault. Somehow.

Absolutely. He'll have to buy dinner, no splitting the bill. 

Feeling a little bit deeper rant today so if no one wants to talk about it, that's fine. I just need to, you know, rant.

The Ireland trip I'm planning in March is with a male coworker. He and I, quite frankly, used to dislike each other pretty strongly. I mean, it was rough for a while. We've gotten along pretty well in the last year or so. We hang out once in a while and have a great time. We've both said that our basic personality is similar enough that we should never have had any problem getting along. Something just doesn't feel right. I don't want to drag this post out any longer because this is not a relationship or psych forum, but I'm just sooooo ... frustrated. I really want to go to Ireland. We enjoy hanging out so a vacation should, in theory, be no problem. But I feel that, in the next 5 months, something is going to give and not for the better. I already know that most people are going to tell me to listen to my gut. But I really wanna go! And...and... I can be kind of a pessimist about certain things, so maybe it's no big deal. Maybe?

Argh.
