Of all the Things!

Post by grangers14 »

:o As if...

when you just go to sit and relax with a lovely cold G&T the ice maker in the fridge freezer wont put any ice out! :crazy:
Tried cubed and crushed, just nothing but a noise :shock:

So you have to pull the thing apart and put the solid ice in a plastic bag and bash it on the floor to break the clumps up!
Spoils the effect of sitting and relaxing! :wtf:

But now I have G&T with smashed on the floor ice :grin:

Haven't got an ice maker but buy bags of ice, which sees me, on occasions, like last night, bashing the bag against any solid object. :crazy: Look out Hubby!!

I'd decided I would make a jug of Pimms, as I'd been given a bottle. Got all the lovely fruit and the ice ready, then misread the instruction. I put 3 parts Pimms, to one part Lemonade. :shock: I don't remember eating my dinner and had to go to bed early. Feeling rough this morning. If I'd read it was 25% proof, I might have been more careful but I thought it was only 8%. :lol:

Not surprised Lulu - really need more lemonade. I love Pimms - it only tastes the same if you're sitting outside in the sunshine though.

I know what you mean, I tend to avoid hangovers for that reason! It's a bit like when I have a 16 hour shift at work, the day after is mostly a lost day too!

I work from home, for my Husband. I told him this morning, I'm calling in sick. He said he wanted a Doctor's note. :lol:

That's similar to what I told him. Seeing as I do all his invoicing and also pay mine own wages, he doesn't stand a chance of not paying me for a lost day. :lol:
