My husband suggested I might cut his hair. I told him not a chance until it got so bad that I couldn't make it look worse. He's also decided to put his efforts into growing a beard and wondered about fertiliser. his face looks like it has powdery mildew at the moment.I suggested a bucket of tomorite diluted apropriately and he should then insert his head up to the neck and keep it there for ten minutes😇
My broken washing machine saga continues. It's almost impossible to resolve given that customer services are working from home with fixed scripts and no one is reading emails. Samsung told me yesterday that they can only send an engineer out if it's an essential repair and essential repairs are ones where there is no power to the machine. I told them I could take the plug out if that helps
My dishwasher also broke again last night. My wife is a bit heavy handed with it and breaks the plastic fixings regularly though. Rather than buy the official part for the 4th time I fabricated a metal part that should have been there in the first place. Design by budget committee I imagine but the plastic part that costs them a few pence costs me £2 every time and the metalwork costs less than 10p.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
@B3 @wild edges - in my experience, people at these companies don't read emails anyway, judging by the replies I get My gripe today happened after coming home from taking my daughter to work yesterday. There are some parents who really need to learn about road safety when they take their young children out on bikes. Number 1 - you don't ride the bike down the middle of the road towards a car. Number 2 - when approaching the road from a footpath, and you can't see anything coming along the road, it's prudent to stop at said road, rather than just riding straight out into the oncoming car.... He followed her - no helmet on. That bloke is lucky I was going slowly, or he'd have been scraping his weans off the tarmac. If I knew where he lived I'd have been round to have a word with the mother.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

Just picked up my click and collect shop from Asda. The car in front was a mini convertable with a couple of adult passengers crammed in and apparently no boot space for shopping. The women elbowed the assistant out of the way so she could load the bags into the car herself and dumped them onto the laps of the passengers. She had the look of someone who is too busy and important to respect social distancing. It's a shame the young bloke didn't have the balls to tell her she couldn't have her shopping if she couldn't abide by the rules that are set when you place your order. There was also a police man queuing at the burger van outside who didn't seem especially bothered about the risks involved.

@wild edges -My daughter has just been telling me about one they had today loading up the trolley to the gunnels, with very obvious 'party food'. I don't know how many people live in his house, but she said judging by the amount of bevvy they were buying, there's either a large amount or..... They've just been talking about that topic on the radio re rude customers. Folk coughing at check out staff, and reaching over them for stuff on shelves etc. You keep hearing about how people think the world will be a kinder, more thoughtful place after this is over.
Aye right.

My oldest boy won't go anywhere today without three teddies and a cheese grater that he's knicked out of the dishwasher. I'm sure that after lockdown we're going to be explaining to people why he's carrying an emotional support cheese grater.

It isn't just customers who need to learn about social distancing. I was in our local co-op when one of the members of staff pushed past me to get to the store room. It's not my fault if the shelving goes right up to the door. If they had bothered to ask I would have happily got out of their way.

We cut each other's hair for the second time today. Piece of cake.
