Just as I was about to leave for work this morning a plumber turned up. I wasn't expecting one, and it meant I had to faff around going to find my landlady so I could go to work and know that the house would get locked at some point. grr.
This isn't quite as random as it may sound, as our landlady is getting central heating put in the house after we move out. At least, I thought it would be after we moved out... We've seen the listing on the lettings agent's website and it says 'available April', giving... continue reading »
Well, the inevitable has happened. One week before I'm supposed to move out of this house and I've finally managed to drive through the lanes to the A458 without getting lost. Bloody typical!

One of my favourite things to rant about.
If electromagnetic waves can penetrate walls, imagine what they can do to your skin.
It might have actually used the magic word "radiation" instead of waves - I can't remember. ooh, doesn't that all sound exotic and sciencey and BAD! Electricity! Magnets!... continue reading »
