Playing the dame!

I'm curious as to whether when men play 'the dame' in pantomime there is an option not to shave your legs, but to wear very thick tights instead. Answers on a postcard...

Good timing!

The worst possible thing that can happen to you is that you get into bed, close your eyes and suddenly hear....the dishwasher beep to kindly tell you that it has finished its cycle! You have a choice....ignore it and wait for it to beep every few minutes throughout the night, or get up!

Luckily, last night it beeped as I was turning all of the lights out and making my way upstairs...now that really was good timing!

I've seen it all!

Having decided to have a mass clear out at home, we hired a skip and managed to fill it quite quickly with some absolute rubbish. So at half four in the afternoon you can imagine my shock to see some bloke pull up outside, calmly get out of his car, pull a child gate from the skip and drive off with it at breakneck speed!

I sincerely hope that when he got it home he understood why it was in the skip in the first place...namely that the gate wouldn't actually shut!! Although maybe he's been playing with it for the last 3 hours wondering what's wrong with it...
