Eventful afternoon!

What a fun afternoon I've had First of all the water was dripping out of the washing machine door as something was stuck in it. Normally it would have beeped at me and not worked Grabbed some towels to put down and turned it off. So far so good Then the door unlocked so I opened it and more water gushed out Quickly shut it again. Now usually if there is water in it IT WILL NOT OPEN and it has to be drained from waste pipe but today...... Drained it, removed offending article and carried on with washing. I've not got a lot of very wet towels and a very clean floor On with the Christmas card making. All went well till I tried to emboss with glitter It doesn't work Time for a break and a cuppa I think

Oh Sue dont I know how you felt, awful afternoon for you, I do hope the cuppa tasted really good, Janet xx

It did Off to make dinner now.

What a frustrating day - a clean floor isn't much consolation. Hope the washing machine behaves itself next time. Bad luck with the glitter -did the heat gun send it everywhere?

Oh doh what a frustrating afternoon for you Sue. Now if you had wanted the door to open when there was water in the machine, as I did a couple of months ago, then it wouldn't have done it I had to prise it open with a screwdriver The machine was dead anyways but it would have been good if it had opened so that the water could have been emptied prior to the machine being moved. Hope your machine behaves itself now.

Hugs

No the glitter stayed put Jane but rubbed off. I sort of hoped it might have stuck! Jenny if you have that happen again you should be able to empty the water bu putting the waste pipe down low into a bowl or bucket. You can tell I've done this before can't you?

oh dear....must be catching!! I have just spilt a tub of glitter over hubbys trousers :-[ on the upside, he will look lovely and sparkly tomorrow christmas green, does sort of go with his trousers!
And Amy has just spilt my water that I had for my h20's!!! think I am going to pack in for the night now!

Didn't have a great day myself but can't go into that
It does get quite frightening how much we all rely on our modern-day appliances
I remember one repair man telling me to never buy a washing machine that was computer contolled as they were more difficult to mend
It is nigh on impossible to find one that is not these days
Its is puzzling Sue though why it opened when full of water

green glitter on hubby's trousers
I don't think Alan misses that experience since my craft was moved outside
It was even worse when I had all my things in the bedroom
The things our poor partners and pets have to put up with Karen

Oh Sue you poor thing and you sounded so organised first thing this morning. You can get embossing powder with glitter in it but I was wondering if you mixed glitter with some clear embossing powder if that would work. I haven't tried it, it's just a thought I woke up with a headache this morning which got worse after I had been to the shops. My legs have felt like jelly all afternoon so have chilled out and watched things I have recorded on tv but not got round to watching Feel better now although I didnt get to the WI - maybe next month

Hope the day has improved for you Sadie whatever your problem, hope it's been sorted. Been watching the Pride of Britain awards but Martin has turned over now for Heroes so I have come up to the craft room to watch the end of it and visit the forum

Thanks Jacky I hope so too!
Lets just say.....womens' problems and I thought I was past all that
I think there is a 24 hour cold going about
I had it a few days ago and it did knock me off my feet
Not that it takes much these days
Fraid it was just a matter of resting Jacky
I hope yours goes away soon too

I'm being a blond tonight, why were you trying to emboss with glitter ? couldn't you just stamp the image with glue and then sprinkle the glitter on ? or use a glue pen to create the shape you wanted. I guess it depends what you were embossing with he he If it was a stencil you could use the same liquid glue that you use for foiling. Ok I'm making suggestions now for a process that I have no knowledge of ... time to switch off and go and play some games me thinks he he

I wasn't trying to emboss with glitter Jen I picked up the wrong pot!

Jacky I think there must be a bug going around as yesterday I felt quite off. Was Ok first thing then became very tired for the rest of the day and kept falling asleep. Today I felt fine!

Oh doh sorry Sue he he I'm a plonker I thought you wouldn't have been trying to emboss with glitter on purpose he he

Good Thursday morning just been catching up on the posts, I do hope you are all having a better day today ladies Janet xx
