    Top tip for you

    You know that compost that you get all compressed and dehydrated, then you pour a bucket of water on it to make it ready to go? Turns out it's best not to do this indoors in a planter with drainage holes in it Who'd have thought!?!?
    I was feeling part of the scenery
    I walked right out of the machinery
    My heart going boom boom boom

    I've come to take you home."

          No, fortunately it was onto my kitchen floor, which is quarry tiles, so a couple of towels and the mop sorted it out!

              Well, if you want to know the REALLY embarrassing bit...

















              I'd just made the holes with a screwdriver in an otherwise solid planter

                  Haha!!! It's not that mad looking though (she says hurriedly, in order to convince herself).

                      I made my first roast chicken last weekend. I left it on its foil tray, but wanted the juices to drip into a tin below, for gravy. I stabbed holes in the foil tray, so juices could duly drip down into gravy tray.

                      then I lifted the perforated tray out, and dripped chicken fat all over the floor, the units, myself ...

                          Actually, now you mention it, I'm the one who disconnected the kitchen sink trap to unbung it and rinsed it under the tap whilst cleverly putting a bucket underneath the plughole to catch the waste water....

                          ....then picked up the bucket from under the sink and emptied it...

                          ...into the sink....

                              As I've done the very thing Hazel mentions ... triplets, I reckon!
