Hot water direct from a boiling kettle, poured quickly over the windscreen works much better

And my windscreen on the car cracked

The in-laws incontinent dog, mentioned on a previous post, the one that left a turd outside my bathroom last year Boxing Day morning, is dead, having passed in the early hours of Christmas Eve morning.

Nothing to do with me.

Where did it leave the turd this year? I imagine that right where you would tread in it when getting out of bed would have given cause for justifiable dogicide.

DD1 dropped her 2 month old phone in the toilet - water damage expected.
After a few hours in the airing cupboard it seemed to work.

I never raised my voice but expressed my disappointment

[EternalOptimist]

Been munching my way through 9lbs of (very) well cooked pork, and the missus asked me if I wanted a pork butty for brekkie.
So I says, nah, im fed up with pork, do me bacon and sausages instead.

So I got some funny looks and Im in the doghouse. what did I do ????

Mother-in-law has tried her absolute best to destroy things.
Almost kicked off xmas day, luckily she was calmed down.

Got the raging hump about goodness-knows-what yesterday and stormed off from our house about 10 minutes after arriving.

A bloody good time was had by everyone without her!

Christmas disasters . . .

1. Exhaust blown on Mrs. W's car.
2. Exhaust blew on my car on way to Mother-in-laws on Dec 23rd.
3. Got back on 23rd to find roof leaking in storms and water pouring in through my bedroom ceiling (no roofers working until Tuesday).
4. Son spent boxing day being violently sick (NOT due to over indulgance the day before, I hasten to add!)

Quite frankly I'll be gad when it's all back to normal.

That's really cheered me up!

( I don't care too much for dogs, certainly not incontinent ones! )

Daughter tried out my son's new dartboard and missed, smashing the glass in the patio door, not happy

I think you missed a trick there.

If it was early enough, you could have wrapped it up and had a surprise present for the inlaws.

dinner

Oh Dear(tm).

Wifey paid it as a Christmas prezzy.

Got £100 knocked off the car price when I bought it, because of the chip on the windscreen

[Diver]

Apart from the £50 excess.

£75

I think I might have spotted where you are going wrong.

You think "Poetic Justice?"

Nah! There was a small chip on the windscreen since I've had the car. The combination of extreme cold and my putting the blow heater to the screen at full blast caused some minor expansion issues .

Still, Lucky I have full comp insurance with glass cover

I broke the fan oven dial on the cooking range yesterday (Dropped a glass shelf on it and snapped it off).

Had to strip the range down, nick the dail from the grill and put it in place of the oven switch.

and all before the missus got home from work.

Told her what happened, and that Christmas dinner was nearly a disaster.

HER = Er! it's a range, there are two ovens and I only ever use the one, you could have left it until after Christmas

And my windscreen on the car cracked

Last year the TV packed up

Year before the Fridge Freezer packed up

Year before that The washing machine packed up

All a few days before Christmas
