Stupid event of the day

Today I unwittingly put two nursing pads* in the wash, so now all my clothes are covered in little spongy absorbent crystal things and fluff. Humph.

Stupid event of last Friday was that I put a cup that has a silver and gold pattern on it in the microwave. Evidently it has metal in the paint, as it started sparking like crazy, and when I opened the door and stuck my hand in to get it out, my hand felt all tingly.

Maybe it's something about Fridays....or just about me!

*For the uninitiated, nursing pads are things you wear in your bra to stop milk leaking everywhere. Noice!

Well I've already told you but might as well share it with the blog community.

Today a man walked into my office asked to speak to one of the financial advisers and I looked right at him and said 'yes, and may I ask who's calling?'

Ha ha ha - I've done that too..

A coupla times in my previous life I knocked on a door and when the person opened I said "Hello. I'm ringing from the Water Board...."


As for Ah Ha and microwave ovens - I also put a cup with some gold paint in the oven & got a spark-show. Not a good practice because the oven can short-out. Some people are very particular about the type of plastic containers they use in microwave cooking. It's to do with plastics 'leaking' contaminants into the food. A lady told me she never uses cling wrap over a container but replaces it with a paper towel.
