#683 Saturday 17 August

It's 3am .... I give up!   She is not allowed to drink ever again! We need two corks .... one for each end .... nothing in and nothing out!

Despite several trips to the loo ( where she produced prodigious volumes of wee) she has managed to flood first my bed at 10pm and then her own bed at 2am.  There's a mountain of sodden bedding waiting to be washed in the morning .... and the layers of plastic sheeting still didn't stop the flooding getting through to the "last resort layer" below!  Henceforth she will not drink and she will not sleep! Maybe then the bed will stay dry.

11am
I've just had a "survey" phone call ... and I've found an effective, polite way to deal with it .... when asked "Can you help us with our survey" I responded "Yes ... our company specialises in surveys and we only charge $150 per survey. If you give me your credit card details, I'll process the payment and then we can proceed."   ....... and the response?   "..... er no thanks. Bye"

Of course if they called my bluff, we have the EFTPOS terminal waiting and I'd be happy to do a survey for them!

While doing the mountain of washing from last night, I've been playing with my birthday present .... a twin-blade cutter!  I've been lusting after one of these for ages and they finally got down to a price that I could "live with" .... so I used my birthday vouchers to visit my favourite shop.  I grabbed one and went to the checkout .... and found that the checkout price was 25% less than the marked price!  Bargain!  .... I didn't question it ... just paid and ran!
