spare scrabble letters? - 09:40 PM
(filed under 'linky lurrve')
i guess i'd better pass it on since i don't have any to give. this person needs spare scrabble tiles, specifically the letters i, d & o.
if you have some, go & tell her & find out how to get them to her. if you don't, then maybe you can pass it on.
dust buster broken & fixed - 02:41 PM

i rule! i am such a legend!
heh. i'm so pleased with myself because i just fixed our dustbuster. yesterday it fell onto the floor from its charging bracket which is attached to the side of a cupboard. the bottom fell off & after finding the little lever which locks & unlocks it, i managed to put the battery cover back on.
just now i wanted to use it but it wouldn't switch on, so i pulled it apart to see if there was anything obviously wrong with it.
the switch seemed to be a bit jammed, but after that was fixed it still wouldn't turn on. i looked closer, & under the switch, one of the three contacts had bent upwards & wasn't making contact with the bit it was meant to touch unless you pushed the switch downwards, which wasn't possible while the cover was on. i got the switch off (without even breaking anything else) & bent the little prongle back into the correct position.
once almost back together, i tested it again & saw that the fan on the motor was stuck out a bit far & was jamming on the inside of the case as it spun, so i pushed it back into place.
i tested it again, screwed it all back together & voila! as good as new. 
see? i told you i rule. riley has the cleverest mummy in the world. *grin*

no wonder he was so quiet. he was behind my chair drinking his icy chocolate milkshake which i made for both of us & i turned around wondering why he was so quiet.
he was standing there holding his sippy cup upside down & watching the milkshake steadily drip onto the floor.
thank goodness for no carpeting.
