Must dig out my ongoing list and add clean oven and fridge to it. Infact MIL is coming on Sunday so really need to get at least the fridge done this week, it's got a bit horrid

ok - washing isn't happening - seem to have an electric problem - waiting on the letting agent to get back to me to say when the electrician will be with me (and no it's not my washing machine - fridge, oven and dishwasher also not working)

Faq - hope you get that all sorted soon.

Alibaba - PMSL apparently it's a well known problem with the Macbook disc drives. Mine is a beautiful Macbook Air with a peripheral disc drive so it's sat on the side gathering dust.
Every now and then i plug it in and try to eject it, but no luck.
Means the drive is kind of useless actually, even if i ever get the disc out will i ever trust it with any other disc???

Sounds a nightmare FAQ hope it gets sorted soon .
Ali it is nice here too .
Cheer up JKS .

So DD's had a bath and have wrecked my bathroom and their hair by dunking it in matey bubble bath they scream if I put the shower near them so will put them in later and give their hair a quick wash.

We have just all had some lovely soup for dinenr and I am hoping they may have a nap and I can read for a while .
