Ebay....

I was out bid on a hob on Ebay - it was identical to our currently dead one. It would have been ideal. I was the only bidder right up until the last 10 minutes.Final sale price was £11.23. I was outbid whilst washing the dishes.

Moral of the tale - don't wash dishes. Back using the camping stove and running low on gas.

Gutted.

The list - well - I scrubbed the kitchen floor, which wasn't on the list but should have been, so I'm counting that as one I can cross off.

Things to do

Made a list of things to do today. It's a long list, including things I've been avoiding for years. The plan is to tick one off each day. Since the telly arrived back in our lives (it was broken for some weeks, along with the hob - which is still broken) I've done far too much sitting.

Carz and girlZ

Helped a friend with her car in the very pouring rain on Wednesday - the weather could have been worse, but not by much. I loved the adventure of it all. Trying to start it, trying to diagnose the fault, pushing it (forwards and backwards - neither did any good), summoning a willing passer-by to help, giving it an electric shock with some plugs (the worst thing we could have done according to the AA man - don't try it at home, or outside for that matter), eventually having to admit that really neither of us had very much of a clue and having exhausted all the words we had ever heard a mechanic say - we left it to the professionals.

Never the less - soaked to the skin and by now quite chilled we satisfied ourselves with the two mint humbugs I found in the glove compartment of my car and giggled all the way home.

Memories like that make me smile.
