    TMW you watch maker and resto vids for months because it's so cool to watch things work again, and Wifey walks in and says "honey, the dryer is making really loud noises."
    "Yes, dear. It's probably a drive wheel or a belt tensioner."
    Wait! What did I just say?? I go in the garage, flip the dryer over (just like in the vid) and pull the back off. IT WAS THE DRIVE WHEEL!!! I swapped the bad one with one from the oppostite side... IT'S QUIET AS THE DAY IT WAS NEW!!!
    MUUHAHAHAHAAA!!
    (Ahem. Of course I ended up drilling a bunch of holes in the back to remove it)
    BUT I FIXED THOSE TOO!! MWAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! :supergrin:

    I may recall a mention of sodium carbonate, as opposed to sodium bicarbonate. Might be a hallucination. o_O

    TMW you discover that you possess a silent laugh for inappropriately humourous moments like this. ^^^

    Well, you know I like a bargain. :p

    That moment when, for the first time in who knows how long, you actually finish writing a scene.

    You said you wanted to get me something for Valentine's that had a long shelf life. I reckon funeral cover would tick that box. :p

    Shame. I was beginning to picture the teal cushioned interior, and the horse drawn carriage. :supercheeky:

    With any luck, we may be able to use the Valentines flowers at the service! That's a solid 8p right there.

    That moment when you need to do laundry. Not because you're out of clean clothes, there's just no space left on the bathroom floor.

    Ick. I hate clothes touching the floor, even dirty ones, and especially in any bathrooms. Just can't deal with piles like that. Wash those clothes!

    That moment when you put your phone in your pocket like you don't have a healing tattoo on that leg and you think you can walk around like a fool.

    I never knew how much I used my right leg till I couldn't. Whacked it on my desk at work and almost made a sound I've never made before, but I did gasp pretty dramatically. Ooooh, I should have practiced my swooning.

    That moment when you find out that you only have 3 annual leave days left and you potentially have to wait until March to take them.

    Tmw you momentarily forget how to spell "sold" and went through several split second bouts of confusion after writing it as "souled" "soled" and "solled"
    .....also that moment where you blank on the word "sculptor" and instead say "sculpturist"

    IM TOO YOUNG FOR THIS FORGETFUL SH**

    At least you didn't call it "You know, one of those people who make pleasant-looking lumps of stuff."
