I'm not having a good day!

Did you ever have one of those days?  It started about 7.50 am when the DCOS went downstairs to get ready to take the grandchilderen to school. (Their mum is poorly)

Anyway I became aware of  her shouting in alarm from the kitchen and rushed downstairs to find out what was going on.  The dishwasher which we had programmed for an overnight wash, was sounding an alarm and there were lights flashing all over it, it was flashing a fault code F70.

I switched off, but a worrying grinding/rotating noise continued!

A hurried search did not reveal the mains socket, so I tripped the house electrical panel and isolated all sockets, thus shutting down everything phones, computer etc etc. Eventually I did find where the kitchen suppliers had hidden the sockets for the appliences and thus isolated the dishwasher and switched back on the sockets circuit, but now the compuer was sulking because it had not been closed down properly.

At this point the DCOS announced that she had to go out to slimming world,  and I had to move my car to enable her to get out in her car.

I put on my dressing gown and slippers, went out to my car and drove it off the drive to allow her to get out. She drove off immediately.

At this point I discovered that she had pulled the front door shut behind her so I was now locked out in slippers and dressing gown.   I tried phoning her but she had obviously not switched on her mobile, so I was well & truly scuppered!

Luckily the second neighbour that i tried had a spare key, but now it was rapidly becoming a source of real amusement in our small road!

Our main electrical supplier cannot come for a week, so I face a week of washing up!  I think I will get the Caravan out instead!
