Me & Technology - Bad Combination

Time Asleep Last Night: 05:36
Time Awake This Morning: 11:34
Today's DAR: 5PP

Today's DAR is deceptive. Because I had planned on it being higher, but it wasn't. Rather obvious point, but here goes with my stupid tale of today. My plan had been to possibly get some way towards demolishing my ironing pile. However, I met with a small snag while upon my quest.

The ironing board, with the iron on it, was up against a wall in our front room. Sensibly, I decided to move it towards the middle of the room so I'd actually have space to iron in. So I pulled on one end of the ironing board. And it collapses. Now, normally our ironing board takes a combination of the strength of a superhero and the problem-solving ability of Stephen Hawkins to actually fold up when you're trying to. So by pulling on one end, this met with a surprising result. So the ironing board collapses. The iron falls off the end, logically, and then the cover falls off. So I'm left with just the water holder in the middle, thinking this may not be very safe to iron with.

So on the plus side, I didn't have to iron today. On the negative side, I wasn't able to iron today, means a fun-filled Friday of course. Not long now until we're back at uni guys, and please remind me to go to the bakery on Saturday morning to get the supply of caramel slices. Otherwise I'll have to go home in the middle of the term just to fulfill my promise.

The iron was not on, fortunately.

My plan for the moment is to purchase six caramel slices. One for Tim, Katie, Vicky, Emma, one unclaimed, and one for me. Although I may get a couple more for myself just because I can. And for anyone else that wants extra, obviously :P
