Spot the smug smilie again! My washing machine has a new pump fitted by yours truly. Perhaps this will be the end of my washing machine saga - I certainly hope so, although I am starting to think of giving up teaching and going into washing machine repair.
'twas incredibly easy actually...once I realised that I didn't have to use violence and bad language to remove the old pump, just tip the machine up and undo the two tiny screws underneath the base! Mind you, someone might have reminded me to make sure the detergent drawer was empty of conditioner before I left the machine lying face down on a cushion all day. I knelt to fit the pump and... well, suffice to say that my knees now smell like a spring morning (apparently) and are very very soft !
Other major achievement of the day yesterday : finished writing an application form and took it in to the school. I'd been worried that I might have missed the deadline and said as much to the secretary, to be told " Er...deadline? No, I don't think so... wonder when the deadline is!"
Cause for celebration : Tiddles came home with YET ANOTHER commendation from school. My bad lad finally seems to be pulling himself together.
Thought for the day: Why are hospital beds so hard and uncomfortable when you're a patient, but so cosy and inviting when you're sitting on them while visiting someone else?
