Well, our computer wasn't broken (I was fasting it) & our house isn't really tidy but I am having a huge clear out! The photo above is of the junk drawer in our kitchen - you know the place you shove stuff to get it out of the way quickly & because you don't know where else to put it! I am amazed at the stuff that I found in there- 7 boxes of matches, 3 old mobile phones, 4 old pairs of glasses in their cases, hundreds of pens, 5 tape measures, 2 calculators.... And now that it's all sorted (it took me all afternoon to do it!!) we can find what we need in seconds. Lovely!
The rest of the house has been blitzed too. Bags & boxes of clothes & toys have gone to friends & charity shops & items have been sold on eBay to raise money for a nursery school in the Congo, Africa. My mum has done a great job of re-homing all our cast offs. Thanks Mum! ;0)
Our dear old washing machine (almost 7 years old) has been on it's way out for several months. It's a washer drier & the drier part of it gave up the ghost a year ago & over the summer the machine started to make the most terrible screeching noise that frightened us all! Last week our washing machine started tripping our electrics when it went onto the spin cycle & we decided that it was time to retire it. It has served us well. (Piccie above is of Luke helping me with the washing in June 2005).
Lee unplumbed the machine ready for Hotpoint to deliver the new one & while it sat in our kitchen Timmy took time to ponder the inner workings of a washing machine. He was fascinated by the little holes inside the drum. He kept saying 'It's got ovals in it!'
When the new machine arrived, it was fitted in (with much muttering about health & safety from the plumber as he strained behind the cupboards to find the plug socket) &, after I had purused the instruction manual, it was put to use straight away & hasn't stopped washing our clothes since! I love our new machine- it's got little red lights & all kinds of exciting buttons & features! Oh, & best of all it aslo washes clothes really well & it doesn't screech or trip the lights! Timmy told me very excitedly that the new machine is exactly like the old one (which it isn't at all!) by which he means they both have little ovals in the drum! Anyway, now that I have blogged all about our laundry I shall say goodbye! Hope you've all had a great weekend! ;0)
