I don't like our dishwasher not working correctly! 🙄 

Built-in Siemens that must be about 20 years old, sticking on 1 minute remaining for 10-20 minutes and not draining.

Could be a blockage in the drain going by Google, so guessing I'm getting the toolbox out tomorrow 🙄

My parents dishwasher was doing pretty much the same. Thought it was the dishwasher faulty. Bought new one but on removing old dishwasher we found a fat berg in the drain to the main under sink drain. Cleared it out and it worked fine. Still fitted the new dishwasher. 

Yeah, thinking and hoping that it's some like that 🤞 it did drain eventually so I've emptied it and put it on an intensive hot wash and see if that helps. If not, out with the spanners after work tomorrow 🙄

Im not looking forward to bringing our 29kg Muscular Bearnese Beagle to the vets today for a two year check up and some type of needle,😥

He's in great health and walked 15-20km per day, just due a consultation and he's afraid of everything except us, 

He's 4ft long, 29kg in weight and a wire'ey B.

I hope it goes nothing like the cell scene in Bronson 🤣

 

I don't like that my monitor has become a flipping graveyard for thunder bugs. In about 3 years I have had none, in the last week I have 4 dead in various places across the screen.

I've tried tapping, suction cup and turning the damn screen upside down (two are nearer the top of the screen) and nothing will budge them.

A search online and a video on Youtube came up where someone used an electric toothbrush to shift one. Ordered the cheapest one on Amazon (£7.50) to hopefully try the same.

I thought everyone had an electric toothbrush nowadays! 😮

Good luck getting those out though.  I've had one in the laptop screen for over 4 years.

 

Had another case of bad luck. Was reversing and hit a lamp post which was in my blind spot 🤦. Hopefully can get it sorted at the bodyshop whilst the sill gets repaired

I have one fitted 😂. Just I was more fixated looking in my mirrors that I didn't see it. There was a bike pole on the left which I focused on but hadn't seen the pole 🤦

Excuse me, I owned a 1982 Fiesta XR2 - now, I'm not blonde, nor a hairdresser, nor from Essex LOL 🤣

In sunny Dorset, well not so sunny. Anyway we went to a Sainsbury's to stock up while in our holiday cottage and the shelves were empty of the most basic things,beer!!!! Amongst other things. Don't know if it's due to the Dorset folk being drunks or shortages to the lorry drivers shortage etc. Tomato ketchup of any brand/ style was another random item with bare shelf. On top of this first world problem ,our dog hasn't been well for some time and this holiday was her holiday but she not coping well since we got here. Dopey dog tried climbing the stairs and collapsed at the top.

Hairdressers car!?  The Fiesta never came as a convertible...  

Mx5, Audi TT . Now there hairdressers cars

Actually now come to think of it , the only hairdresser I know( not that I need one any more 👱👱)  does indeed drive a 60 plate 1.6 tdci fiesta. 😂😂

I was born 3 years later. Anyway, I don't think ladies back then needed a hairdresser.

Bodyshop work is absolutely ***** expensive.

Whereabouts in London are you?

If you can drive down to Barking, there is a industrial area full of places that do everything to do with a car.

One of the hairdressers*** in my village drives........a TT!😀

Always thought it was a bit unfair on the MX5 though, which is a nice handling little car and, well, if you want a reasonably priced sports car there's not much else, really.

*** We have 3 for some reason. Must be a hairy lot round our way!😀

I believe it's a 'Fly' conversion, and if you expect sympathy for crap WiFi whilst swanning on holiday, well you'll be sadly disappointed LOL
