OG passed the hammer over to me but I used it for putting the shed up (and taking the hinges off the drinkypoo cabinet he forgot to give me the key to.) now it is getting used to open bottles

Seriously for a sec though (speaking of confusion), someone ran rings round me yesterday in a discussion of what a job would cost. I will try and sort it by email today, but the brain wasn't dealing yesterday, its a bit frustrating when you realise you are not as sharp a pin as you used to be!

I spent the yesterday with my dad he went in for keyhole surgery on his knee,so we had to walk down from Baringtons in Limerick to the courthouse carpark.

He said he was fine walking, but when he got to the road he linked my arm and held onto me going across the road,as he hobbled along beside me half way across the road we looked at each other, it was his way of telling me he loved me, he's what you'd call a hard gentleman.

Man of little word's,but not very sensitive,great father, grandfather,husband and brother.

Actions speak louder than word's for some.

I feel more grown up myself after yesterday, like that feeling for once I was able to be the alpha in the family.

Not in an egotistical way,but in a caring way.

Dad always was able to do everything himself.

Im 43 dad's 66

Perhaps somebody else 'found' it.

seriously doubt it as it is in the house somewhere

You will most likely find it eventually Rube, usually these things turn up. I suggest when it does, attach one of those anti-lost key rings to it, but be warned, they can whistle at the least noise which may drive you nuts.

Noooo! do't do that! Someone bought pretty much everyone in the family one of those as a stocking-filler gift. They we discovered that they responded to my voice...which caused everyone great hilarity, except me!

Reminds me of the smoke/heat alarms the electrician who did the pre reconnection certification check installed here.

When he had gone i started cooking. Fried potatoes; yummy You guessed?
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW He had put a heat alarm right above the has cooker... Cats went ballistic, dog went into orbit, I dropped the pan and dog landed andgot my food .... even worse it can connected with the other two he fitted and they all started screaming

I could not disconnect them as the roof is high but i all but killed the kitchen one with the axe.. and made him remove them weeks later.

That was pretty stupid! Yes we have issues with 'connected' fire alarms - one or other or both of them sometimes give a loud double beep when some lights switches are used. No one seems to be able to figure out what is happening, short of doing some serious carpet and floor lifting.

He put three in; this is a very small dwelling. And I have very sensitive hearing and startle easily. When I told him he sounded very aggrieved. I let him leave the carbon monoxide alarm. Council regs he was folllowing. The one on the bedroom used to flash at me in the night :eek:

Jellybaby1

Terrible shock for you, the mutt and the moggie. Daft thing putting the alarm above the cooker. He probably never cooked a thing in his life! :rolleyes:

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

Why, with the battery operated smoke detectors, do they only start beeping to warn of low battery between 2am and 4am? Then you can't make out which one is beeping.

Jellybaby1

Our beeps started this morning at 7.30am. Luckily we had a spare battery.
