Day 146.........washing machine still not working.

Day 146.........washing machine still not working.

3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.

So, the washing machine guy came and went and my machine is still not working. He has to order a part and it will likely take a week to get here. Do you think I could hand wash a towel or two?
I think I will have to nip to a laundrette, just for clean towels. If I had known that it was not going to function for more than three weeks, I would have spaced out my towel exchange a bit better but, because I do the laundry on the weekend, I usually gather all the towels over a fortnight and do them in a oner, leaving only two clean hand towels till the rest dry. Luckily, the girls had just taken a clean one each and are surviving. Me......well I am just smellier than usual-lol. Perhaps I will go visit someone and use their washer but who?
I have to share with you that, whilst I love my new fluffy dressing gown which keeps me all warm and toasty, I do turn into a walking electric shock when I am wearing it. OUCH. Especially if I leave the cosyness of being curled up under one of the fluffy blankets. Fluffy pulled away from fluffy and you can almost hear the charge being emitted. Double OUCH.
So, as some of you noted yesterday, I was not in the greatest frame of mind and it did persist a wee bit despite the huge giggles I had at some points in the day especially whilst 'talking' with Chrissie. She and I share our sense of humour and I had tears rolling down my cheeks at the ridiculously funny facts of life we were commenting on. Definitely a women-thing and I may have to create a new facebook page to share our fun.
My frame of mind must be catching and Jen was happy to slouch around with me all day. Today we are planning a trip to the library to do some serious work. There are too many distractions in the house for us to be as effective and we both know that the work is not going to do itself. I also drink far too much coffee when I stick around the house. My morning pot has grown from it's initial six cups to ten cups (approx 3-4 mugs worth) but I am still not bouncing with it.
The bad news this morning is that my wifi went off again a few minutes ago-groan. I see no point whatsoever in wasting more hours in trying to fix it and so I will just wait till it decides to work again. This means that I will not be online whilst at the library and online a lot less from home. Perhaps the universe is actually helping out because the less time I spend online the more time I am likely to work. I still get wifi through my phone and so can still be contacted should anyone need a virtual hug in a hurry but I don't browse on my phone or become tempted to check things out therfore an increase in other productive activity is guaranteed.
Not a lot to report from yesterday that will hold your interest, so this is short. The temperature has dropped severely again and there is still no snow. I feel a bit short-changed in the snow department after a promising start. Ah well, never mind.
Love to all.
