Laundry is his thing.<br /><br />Linda, lucky for me, we live in a place where they come out to you :) I've had a house that had garden taps at the kitchen sink. I can't tell you how odd that was.<br /><br />I thought of you as I was posting Fi. I'm feeling every day of your pain now LOL.<br /><br />Jodie I enjoyed lunch too. It was lovely to sit and relax the afternoon away with the two of you.<br /><br />Angela, Australia has quite strict food handling laws for commercial food handlers. The food can only be left out for four hours and then has to be thrown out. You can put food that has been out for less than two hours back in the fridge...but not if it's been out for the 2-4 hour mark. Sorry, it's a bit complicated to explain but simple in practice.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511855282323456046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103758876428147420.post-35897472722601540902009-09-06T06:16:11.224+10:002009-09-06T06:16:11.224+10:00Oh I DO sympathise.

Well, you know what they say about marriage...It starts when you sink in his arms, and ends with your arms in his sink!<br />BTW, on Lefthanded Housewife's comments, you referred to the 2hr/ 4hr food storage rule. WHAT IS THAT?? I haven't heard of it. Will I die of something awful now??Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103758876428147420.post-55222925309376965862009-09-05T19:57:51.127+10:002009-09-05T19:57:51.127+10:00Tracy, I am sooooo sympathetic.

We take it on the trailer. Last time they did it on the same day for my husband which I am very grateful for. In the meantime we used the one from our new house as we hadn't moved in yet. Still there was lots of trailer movement involved and the trailer is out of action as it needs new tyres at the moment.<br /><br />I love the sink photo. Our new house had a sink very similar to that. I was sad to have to get rid of the taps, but they were not nice ones like those as I thought, more like garden taps. The pipe around to the right has been removed as well. <br /><br />We often find parts at the tip. I suppose the people here would rather buy a new one than go to the trouble but I haven't asked around what people actually do to get their appliances fixed.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457300221571368059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103758876428147420.post-86700372276331161872009-09-05T15:23:43.678+10:002009-09-05T15:23:43.678+10:00Oh dear bad communication indeed...I for one have ...Oh dear bad communication indeed...I for one have never owned a dishwasher but I married one ..YEP you read that correct my dear hubby does all the dishes in our house -his a keeper for sure,cheers Vickie<br />p.s.

I will admit to being extremely annoyed when the company didn't actually mention to me that it was going to be a minimum of 6 weeks. The repair guy had come out and gave me no forward date so I left it for a week fully expecting to hear something back. It wasn't until I rang and specifically asked what was going on that I was told the part was coming from over seas and it will be a minimum of 6 weeks. <br /><br />What can I say.. I can sort of understand delays on parts, I can't understand the lack of communication.<br /><br />Kind Regards<br />BelidnaBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04061114934356314515noreply@blogger.com
