What you been doing for the last two hours? (pt3)

After coming into the kitchen this morning and finding a large puddle of water on the floor, I have been replacing a fitting that didn't have the correct insert/seals. :mad: To quote my neighbour the (quality) Heating Engineer, "bloody Builders and their plumbing."
 
Watching DVDs, then watching figure skating, putting off going to the shop because it's hailing like a motherfucker and I can't be bothered to get dressed.
 
eating some food, taking cold & flu tablet things, doing the washing up, considering washing the kitchen floor but not actually doing it :D

contemplating what to do for tea tonight :)
 
having a very lazy one - the teenager has gone out and we've got the house to ourselves, bloody lovely and peaceful :D

cooked us some lunch and drinking lots of tea :cool:
 
Looking at wedding rings, having a large Italian lunch of fegatini following by spaghetti allo scoglio and a bottle of wine, chatting about what we're going to eat on our honeymoon, buying baskets in argos and booking a facial.

Having a facial in an hour :cool:
 
having a pointless phone conversation, cooking, sofa hugging, wii and surfing for a storage cabinet for the living room that doesn't look like it belongs in a rest home for the elderly.
 
Changed the bedclothes and cleaned the bathroom, hoovered the stairs, cleaned the hob and fridge, hoovered downstairs, washed up.
 
I have been snoozing on the sofa, cooking tea and doing laundry. And worrying about my boy who has gone to Brean on a footie tournament with my neighbours. It's taken them something like 6 hours to get there. :eek:
 
Having a lazy afternoon / evening. Been sat on the sofa drinking wine after 'helping' with the Good Friday cooking that's been happening in my house. Had an early start with shopping in a manic Borough Market this morning, so I feel like I deserve to be a lazy girl.
 
eating a wholemeal muffin with butter, remembering there are some cocktail sausage rolls in the freezer, cooking them and now wondering if I'm going to be able to stop eating the fucking things :hmm: :oops:
 
Put a wash on. Our machine is in a shed on the bankside, we use water from our boats tank, we run a hose from the kitchen tap. It's complicated. We can't use the tap on the bankside, there isn't enough pressure. Went to the Elsan point to empty three toilet cassettes. Found it blocked with poo and bogroll. Again. Moaned to another boater about how it's always blocked. Went to the public loos at the waterside centre and emptied them in there (what choice did we have?). Then went back to Elsan point to use the hose to clean the cassettes, which was tricky because I had to avoid the overflowing poo/bog roll soup just below me. Accidentally touched my hand to the inside of the lid of one of the cassettes and got poo on my hand. Then the hose pipe came flying off it's broken fittings. got a bit wet. I had to repeat this exercise twice and then we came back. I've just put another wash on and I'm crossing my fingers we've got enough water in the tank to last us 'til it finishes. Now we are drinking cider. It's hailing outside. It's dark, when I go to check on my laundry I wear a head torch and carry a brolly. Nothing is ever simple on a boat. Probably explains why we are all such piss-heads.
 
that sounds like the sort of thing that's fun for a week on holiday, but I dunno if I could do it all the time (when I say fun, I don't mean the poo bit :eek: )
 
I had to hug my washing machine and toilet after reading all that pinkmonkey. :eek: I've always fancied living on a boat but I'd be rubbish at the practical bits. :rolleyes:

I have been ringing round kennels as the one my dog was booked into for our holidays rang me this afternoon to say they were closing. :eek: Managed to find one thankfully that was recommended by a friend, but I had a minor breakdown first!

And eating my tea and playing with the small boy. :cool:
 
Woo and indeed, hoo! I've just been conned into buying tickets for the teen and her friends to go and see Girls Aloud. Unfortunately for them though, I have to go along as they need someone to drive them there. :cool: :D
 
The teen just happened to be looking at what was on at the NEC as they are playing in May while she is away so she was resigned to not seeing them but lucky for her, they have added a show in June. She is very happy. :cool: :D

I am hoping that her 3 friends are paying for their own tickets though! :eek:
