unavailable'. Just as I was running out of places to look
            for  it  and  wishing  I  could  get  it  to  make  a  sound  I
            thought "What's that strange clunking noise coming from
            the washing machine?"....

           I  have  replaced  the  phone  which  was  destroyed  in  the
            washing machine with a £14.99 one from TESCOs. Now
            I  need  to  work  out  how  to  get  it  off  'predictive  text'.
            Even  if  I  try  to  text  OK,  the  most  widely  recognised
            phrase in the world, the phone insists on changing it to
            the word MONK... I really hope I figure this out soon
            before I get to the stage where I have to finally resort to
            the extreme measure of reading the instruction  booklet!

           "I can't reach the ceiling" is never a good sentence to hear
            from  a  6  year  old.  It  turned  out  my  nephew,  who's
            obsessed with playing Hangman, was trying to construct
            a  working  hangman noose  to play  with  from  the  living
            room ceiling.... of course, I had to intervene immediately.
            I mean, Plasticine is never going to hold up a noose is it!?
            So young and so much to learn little boy....

           Why do people say you can tell a lot about a woman by her
            shoes?  If  that  was  true  I  would  be  more  style  than
            substance, always high and very unstable. .... Oh yeh.

           Oh the charming, picturesque scene of my little nephew
            playing in the snow, so reminiscent of a Dickensian style
