Power Cut.

We had a power cut about 5pm and have just got the leccy back on. What a palaver! Hunting for candles in the dark, our dinner was in the gas oven, but we had to have sausage casserole on it's own as we couldn't make potatoes or chips to go with it.I forgot how boring it is just sitting in the dark with no computer, no TV, no music, zilch. So I had a kip! Anyway we're back now and rarin' to go!

There is always LURVE............and you can do chips in the oven. :Crazy:

Did the heating go off too ?, I hate being cold, You could have played i spy, We play that alot, We dont even say "I spy with my little i, Something begining with D, We just go H, Or S,
Very sill but , it makes us laugh, Granddaughter started it now, "Grandy - P" Going to end up stupid like me

Heating, lights, the lot! And I don't like oven chips, I prefer them in the deep fryer. I Spy? Never played that since my young uns were kids when we'd go for a run in the car. Laura, the youngest, used to cheat all the time. She'd say something beginning with "E", then we'd all give up and she'd say "Cow" or something. Cheating sod!

Edit: LURVE was never an option...

Janet cheats, It will be" S," Hours later, I give in, Screw,- Screw ?, Yeh holding the curtain track up, Beeetch,

Laura was so funny. She would fall asleep a lot of the time and if she was not sleeping or cheating at i spy she would annoy her sister Danielle.

Funny how they fall asleep in the car, Luke would nod off when the hoover was going, So he was put to bed, And the hoover switched on if he wouldnt sleep, His bedroom was real clean,

Bouncy chair in front of the washing machine was always a good way to get them to nod off as well.

Then you we started here

Ooo, Let me tell you a story, (Yes another) Our first house was a 4 storie terrace house, Top floor was Toby's bedroom and the other room had a pool table, Pinball machine, dart board etc.
Toby was in there when the door blew shut and the door handle flew off, In his bedroom he had a poster of superman sliding down a rope, So he takes down a washing line that was up there,
Opens the window, Ties it to the pinball machine, And throws himself out of the window 4 storie's up, Think he was 10 at the time, Janet and her sister was jawing on the 2nd floor, They saw him pass the widow, On to the concrete below, Janet screaming her head off, so sister go's down stairs, And he is sat crying, Because he burned his hands on the rope, He landed on the outside washing line, spun round and fell on the floor, 6ft, Instead of 50ft, Next door rang me at work, i shot home, next door said you better get to the hospital, I asked what happened, Nieghbour looked up at the open window and said "Toby", Friggin el, Get s down to the hospital, And he's sat there swinging his legs laughing with the nurses, I fell on the floor with relief, Janet was drip white, little Bassa i thought, That was lucky, Kids

what frights they give you. He was lucky UD
