    Up untill now, rule #1 for me has been
    I'm extending it now to include...

    Thinking the house smelt a bit of burnt chutney, I ignored the smell till I just found the carbonised remains of the Dandelion Coffee I was making at the same time:DOH:

    The sound I was ignoring, thinking it was the washing machine, untill I realised all the washing had been done, was the extractor fan left on by Daughter #2 sucking all the heat out of the en suite and my bedroom:DOH:

    The sound of running water a while ago was Daughter's visiting friend leaving the hot tap on in the bathroom and emptying the entire hot water tank.:DOH:

    Anyone else got a rule #1 ?

      Yes Ziggy,

      If you want a job done properly, do it yourself!

      I'm very reluctant to get anyone to do jobs for me, only those I am totally incapable of doing myself, luckily they're very few in number. :phew:

          Rule number one, always assume they are planning to rip you off (they being anybody that you might be thinking of entering any kind of transaction with).

          The exception being cardigans. If in doubt, always take your cardi.

            Yes I do now,

            If you go into the garden at night, TAKE A TORCH!!!
            I always let my dogs out onto the patio before I go to bed so they can have a last pee/sniff round, wearing my fluffy slippers I went out to get them back inside, didn't take the torch and didn't see where my spaniel had relieved himself!!!!:DOH: The fact that some people say it's lucky was no consolation!! :mad:
