My daughter is in hospital and asked me to bring in her mobile phone today. Her bedroom is a typical teenage mess (why use a wardrobe and drawers when there is a perfectly good floor?) I have spend a fruitless hour searching for the phone. Mr O has just said "have you tried ringing the number?"
I award myself the title of Idiot of the Day.

you are not alone, i decided for the sake of speediness to burn some letters even though i have a shredder, so stuck them in a bucket and set light, fine so far, until they started melting the bucket, which was heavy duty plastic, i have no idea how i didn't set fire to the house, i had to rush the whole burning and melting lot into the bathroom to hose them down, talk about getting heated

Oh I was going to suggest you practice playing marbles more !

Yes a) my sister has pointed out my niece is the same re floors, and b) it's a common way to find the phone (only to find it has a flat battery or on mute).

Hi, MrsO and love to your daughter....x

I needed to bring in the long ladder yesterday and use it on the landing. From the back garden I got most of it into the utility room...then a bit more into the loo. Needing to make a left turn into the kitchen it had to go high. That was where it hit the ceiling, the lampshade, two cupboards and got its ends stuck in the venetian blinds.
If I hadn't had floor cupboards in the kitchen it would have made the left turn followed by a right turn and into the hall....no problem.
I have floor cupboards so again it had to go high....knocking over the kettle, coffee pot and playing a magnificent tune on all the danglies I have hanging over the window....
Into the hall and onto the stairs was easy since I knocked down the banister but the ladder was the wrong way up and too long to turn.
So I opened the front door..outside...turned it and brought it back in....
That was when it dawned on me I could have gone from the back garden, up the side of the house, in the front door and straight onto the stairs....easy!
