I saw this on Jacque Pedersen's blog recently and had a real chuckle over it. Like Jacque I especially love the last one and can relate to the one about remote controls, as our batteries need replacing, but I have forgotten to get some my last couple of visits to the supermarket.
Well here goes, I'm going to attempt to place a link to Jacque's blog now.
Thanks to KarenR helping me, I have linked to Jacque's blog properly. Amazing how simple, quick and easy things are when you know what your're doing.
