there seems to be some confusion….

I was listening to the radio the other day and i heard a guy mention maintenance of washing machines….

..i know…..
……my life……
……..you know you want it :p
Anyways..he said that the best way to prolong the life of your washing machine was to never use washing liquids in it….

er…

exsqueeze me?

baking powder?

But i thought it was always the other way round..use liquid to prolong the life of your machine and powder to bung it up and clog up all the workings..mechanical type stuff……

which would surely make sense no? washing powder always turns into cement looking in the washing machine drawer….doesnt it? you think?

somebody…???

Hey! you that are rolling your eyes because you can't believe i'm in a state of flux about this…try doing washing for a family of six…WITHOUT a functioning washing machine……..huh……

Until we are as wealthy as Simon Cowell, who i believe just throws away his clothes once he has worn them, then me and my washing machine are going to be tight….if ya know what i mean…

Oh yeah and throwing away your clothes after one use is wrong on so many levels…im thinking maybe he donates them or something….

Anyway so what do you think….

liquid or powder? and really i just want to get my machine past that magical point where the warranty runs out and the machine packs up two weeks later….

and here endeth my ramblings for this evening. Im wondering now if i should have kept this as an 'internal' thought?

its been a lovely day….there is nothing as funny to watch as a baby with their first piece of cake! 

I have my own thoughts circling in my head about this incredible journey i have been on for the past seven and a bit years since having Isaac…..trying to make enough sense of them to coherently put them down.

But for right now….just surfing earlier and came across this….a little food for thought….

Suddenly, through birthing a daughter, a woman finds herself face to face not only with an infant, a little girl, a woman-to-be, but also with her own unresolved conflicts from the past and her hopes and dreams for the future…. As though experiencing an earthquake, mothers of daughters may find their lives shifted, their deep feelings unearthed, the balance struck in all relationships once again off kilter.  ~Elizabeth Debold and Idelisse Malave

picture of the day..

i have jumped on the bandwagon and am starting the picture a day thing. Inspired by my friend Melanie Grimes…i am going to try and attempt it. Im looking forward to it and have so far toted my camera around with me for a few days and snapped a couple of pics. Im trying to look for things that i dont ordinarily take pictures of …ie..my kids…and it also is going to give me the courage to take random pics out and about and learn to ignore the stares…so wanted to take a picture of the lollypop man the other morning walking back from school but chickened out at the last minute……

its a work in progress….

so anyway we have re-awakened our flickr account and i am rapidly filling up my storage quota!

and today i popped this one just before i crawled into bed after a night shift…

January20th

yeah..it rained today…boo….

Tomorrow is a certain little girl's first birthday. I have my head stuck firmly in the sand and will be humming 'hey..you get offa my cloud' all day.
