Awfully awful day!

They say things come in 3's!

And today was that day! It has been a day of flat tyres and burnt out hoover and broken eggs all over the kitchen floor!!

The tyre issue - I drove over a screw and subsquently ended up with a flat - I started to try and change the thing - BUT the nuts were on too tight, and I managed to get 3 undone then got stuck. So I decided to take off the spare and discovered that the piece that holds the spare on had corroded and I couldn't get the thing to twist 90 degrees so I could get the wheel off!!

Eventually I got it off. And then struggled for another 10 minutes till a bystander took pity on me. Although I did have to tell him to loosen to the left - not tighten to the right!

Then the hoover - it doesn't even start!

And the Eggs, Oh Toby is not my friend! 18 eggs used to reside in my fridge there are six now. We shall not discuss the details! But a better day tomorrow!

  1. I can remember a day in Salisbury.I think you were there avec S when he was little. We waited so long for the AA or RAC that your MUm had a go and had done in by the time they arrived I was very impressed!

    Did you check the fuse on the hoover? I guess Toby wanted omleette which you can't make without breaking eggs :)
