The silly little things that we do

I was a chronic phone walker for years. It only stopped when I moved into my current house, which only gets good mobile phone coverage in a very tiny corner of the living room. If I attempt to walk the call gets cut off. So now I have to stay very still in the corner. It has been a hard habit to change!

There is a stretch of road about 15 minutes away where we can see our house in the distance - something I discovered by chance one day while in the car years ago as a kid. To this day, every time we drive past, I HAVE to say "(in a childish voice no less...) "I can see our house from here" because i have made it a good luck habit that should I forget to do it one day, something bad will happen.

One time I actually did forget and only remembered when I was nearly home - I turned back and did a 20-30 minute round trip to get to say it.

This is brilliant!! Please tell me you are in your 30s or something. Were the wife and kids in the car with you when you had to go back?

Like they can't just wear a jumper and raise their own personal body temperature, instead of subjecting everyone to the Sahara?

Men can sew too

I like my house to be at 17 or 18 degrees. Doesn't go down very well with most women.
