well done Hannah;o)

Lonnie Phoebe & Eloisa's mama

& expecting a Christmas delivery...

My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what you

start.

So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a Chocolate cake.

I feel better already.

Pleased with myself today

Following on from the recent 'husbands' thread I thought I'd share my day.

Dh and I are both fairly inept when in comes to DIY etc - he probably a bit

more than me but today I managed to single handedly erect a 'trolley ride'

(the kind that goes between two trees that you hang from - you know!) in the

garden, managing to decipher the very complex looking instructions and sort

out what bolt/washer/screw was for what.

The kids absolutely loved it and it appears to be staying up much to my

relief )

Then this evening I, again singlehandedly, managed to work out what was

wrong with our washing machine and fix it. It has been playing up for days -

not emptying properly, motor overheating by the end of the cycle so not

spinning - smelling of burning. I guessed that the filter may be blocked -

then managed to locate said filter and remove one sock, several hairbands, a

large piece of mangled metal, about 50p in small change, some buttons and

some unidentified gunge.

It's now working perfectly )))))))))))

Hannah,

Congratulations on the re-birth of your washing machine.

I got the repair man out when mine went up the creek and much to my

embarrassment he handed me a pair of my Knickers that had tied

themselves up around the back of the drum. How red did I go!

Have fixed it myself ever since.

Kirsten.
