Decided it was spring cleaning time again. The time of year when things that are always covered in dust believe its their birthday and get a bath. Its a bit more difficult this year owing to my (still) extremly painful leg, and the fact that a disabled friendly vaccuum cleaner has not yet been invented.
Still if you dont try you'll never get the hump says I, so I went off to buy a Vax carpet cleaner. It was on special offer in B&Q but there was only one available about an hours drive from us. I promptly reserved it online and off we went.
We didnt need a sat nav cos hubby knew exactly where this B&Q was, but I hid it in the glove compartment cos I know what he's like! We arrived at the Gallows corner branch with no trouble, unfortunatly I wanted the Roneo Corner branch! As luck would have it hubby had left the sat nav in the car just in case!! (Lying bleeder)!
Got to the branch, waited half an hour for it to be brought from the 'Ring and reserve' lock up, and off we went home.
Ok, ready for action. Kids at school, sun shining brightly, will have the floor clean and dry in no time!
Now I dont really know what happened. Perhaps, for one split second, my brain decided the words 'Carpet shampooer' was the same as 'vacuum cleaner'. Or maybe aliens abducted the item I wanted without me knowing and replaced it with a bloody large vacuum cleaner which didnt wash carpets. Or possibly i'm a complete dickhead who cant read properly. I go for the alien explanation. Suffice to say I bought the wrong item.
Luckily we have a local B&Q who were nice enough to refund my money and also give me lots of little 'What an idiot' looks disguised as pity the poor disabled lady.
After that I was in no mood for joviality, so we headed for Comet where I can always find a salesman who pisses me off. They seem to be pulled there like magnets. Working forever in their own little world of perfect prices, excellent offers and sales to die for. Any difficult question and they are off to find their manager who is always a big butch cockney geezer with an answer for everything.
Had to get the lift upstairs but there were plenty of salesmen up there watching me pushing my metal wheelchair over the staticky carpet. Up we went and over to the carpet cleaners. Found what we wanted immediatly but then realised all the salesmen had gone downstairs.
Leaning over the escalator like an extra from Jackass soon got their attention, and the shiny salesman appeared.
Why is it, whenever I expect an arguement, get myself all ready to blow my top until i'm thrown out, do I get the salesman from heaven?
Perhaps my 'little wheelchair angel smile' has been perfected but within three seconds a £60 discount was offered.
And so, after six hours of sodding about, we arrived home with our new baby, a Vax carpet shampooer extrodinaire. Still too late to clean today, i'll do it in the morning when the kids have gone to school......
Today I dont feel like spring cleaning. Maybe next year!

Been a bit bored today. So bored in fact that I watched the football vide printer on this computer because I couldnt be bothered to wheel myself over to the remote control to turn the telly over. Well now the games have finished, and my beloved team has won, (Hooray), I thought i'd hunt arount the internet to find something interesting.
I spent the last week reading about the hidden ufo/nazi plot in antartica, which I found somewhat puzzling, as I thought all the ice had melted. So I googled Antarctica but it just came up white! Mind you theres quite a lot still left for the spawn of Adolf Hitler to hide under, so global warming better hurry up and melt their tunnels!
Amazingly enough I then took some time to look at my own blogger page and actually found some comments to my posts. Yes, I actually read them too. So if you are reading this blog for gods sake tell me what to do to follow you and reallyfatbloke cos I cant for the life of me figure out how to do it. All I keep getting is a request to follow myself!
I spent three hours this morning trying and succeeding in bluetoothing a picture of a Texas Ranger badge to a neighbour, (Unintentionally), when all I wanted to do was sent it to hubbys phone which was one inch away from my phone. Three hours and finally success but only because I bluetoothed the pic from my phone, to my computer, then over to the new phone. Technology eh!

This is hubbys screensaver, dont think he will get away with using it as i.d. but I suppose its worth a try. I had all the others, FBI, CIA, MI5 etc so he didnt have much to choose from. Perhaps he thinks he's Rooster Cogburn?


Now all I want to do is follow two people, one of which kindly follows me, yet there seems to be no pressable button of any description to help me.
This is the main reason I want to win the lottery. When an electrical item disobeys me, I can trash it. At the moment four mobiles, two laptops and a sky plus box is on my hit list. I cant afford to replace them all at the mo!

Strange but true?

Had a family day out yesterday. It was sunny for a change so we packed up the wheelchairs, kids, food, coats, spare clothing, more food etc and squished it all into the car. Plugged in the Sat Nav and away we went to Rendlesham Forest.
This is somewhere I have always wanted to go. Mainly because of the UFO incident back in 1980 which is still quite famous, but also because, in recent weeks, theres been tyalk of a large brown bear in the area. So fun for all, look at the sky or look in the woods, either way something is sure to be seen.
Well something strange happened to the sat nav, it couldnt find the Forest, (Has time and space been distorted already?), so we used the old fashioned method of Map reading!
Arrived, unpacked and started searching.
Pushing a wheelchair over the 'disabled' route was about as easy as pushing a wheelchair on sand! Still we pushed on into the forest, taking pictures as we went.
Suddenly we were attacked by what could only be described as a puma like animal! See above photo. Luckily, as both me and daughter were in wheelchairs, the animal must have thought we were riding large elephants and slinked off into the trees to attack less prepared ramblers.
We saw no UFO's at the time, but carried on taking photos.
I uploaded the photos today and one of the pictures caught my eye.




So, what do you think? THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!
Hahahahahahahaha
