Anyone awake?

Almost 9pm on a Friday night & I'm stuck at home. Totally not where I want to be!

Surely someone else is awake & board crapless too!

Always awake, always home, single parenthood does that to you! Once the sugar fix wears off the little tacker i might get three or four hours in the shed and then sleep for two then it all starts again when she wakes up and destroys the house again!

But i wouldnt change a thing..

What was the under vehicle bit?
They would lurve my car, tell stories about it over donuts at krispy cream!

$66 i would consider a tax for modified vehicles! A defect, a canary anyway, i would be prepared to deal with if i had too, pain in the ringer as it would be.

You're lucky it didn't burn your house down.
Happened to a mate of mine. He left the charger on his laptop going while we went to a rave party at the blue hole near armidale, got back to find the streets full of flashing blue/red lights and an acrid smoke smell. Had no insurance and was renting.
Fire inspector put it down to substandard wiring, no circuit breakers installed on rental house and saved my mate a bill he'd still be paying for today. Lost everything apart from the dodgy hemp shirt on his back!
My brother and i survived a house fire when the (new) heater short circuited and set fire to the bedroom carpet, i thought the steam from the shower i was having set the smoke alarm off, my brother thought it was the toaster so ignored it. We both got trapped inside, flames everywhere, slipped on the melted carpet and thought this is it i did. Was only my brothers' screams when his clothes caught fire that got me up to try and get out.

Shaking so much remembering this its hard to type!!!

Neighbours got to see me busting out the front wimdow in my slighly charred birthday suit and the guy next door heroically went in with a garden hose and saved some of our belongings before the fire brigade got there
