Well Wednesday did not start off that great, I awoke to the husband shouting at Virgin (noooo, not A Virgin - Virgin Media) because our internet connection was down and he needed to tweak a presentation before jumping on a plane, then the boiler hadn't switched the heating on so it was freezing cold and the washing machine had flooded ............ C'est la vie, the day can only get better after a start like that!
My lovely neighbour came to the rescue after a text, She picked up all the laundry and bought each load back washed and folded, it begs the question why I hadn't broken our machine before ..........
So Jools had the task of finding a new washing machine. I was not too sad about this if I am honest, I have hated our current one with a passion since the day it arrived.
It was too pale, too cumbersome, too heavy to move, ugly, awkward, often didn't work and everything still seemed a little grubby after a full session! It also seemed to perform better on older objects and didn't have a 90 minute option .......... Our washing machine was called Wayne Rooney.
Appliance shopping is sooo not the kind of internet shopping that I enjoy. This is where Jools Logic™ comes into play. Let me know if I am alone in this, or if it is a perfectly normal behaviour!
So a washing machine? Anybody with an average sized family must use one what, twice a day minimum? I definitely use mine 3 times a day, every single day.
So why, does it kill me to pay £600 for a washing machine that I will use ALL the time? Why was I punching out my card details on the keyboard like it was torture, or like I had been told I had to attend an evening with Lenny Henry - AND pay for it?
Why do I feel like this when I do not give more than a thought to paying the same for a pair of amazing Louboutin's that with the best will in the world I will wear once every 3 months?
The same thing happened a couple of months ago. I really wanted a new corner sofa, it had to be leather because of the dog, so off we toddled to have a look. 3 grand, 3 grand for each piece! You have to buy them separately, thats like buying a shoe without a heel!!! My eyes dilated - WOW how can it be soooooo expensive.
And yet, that is the cost of a Chanel Bag! A tiny, incy wincy piece of leather compared to the 50 cows you require to make a sofa! A bag that I only bring out occasionally and yet think, WOW this is worth every penny! Yep, you know it, it's Jools Logic™.
As I fill up my car with petrol (please tell me I am not the only one that does this either), when it gets to £30 I am thinking, that's a blouse there, it rises to £50 - dammit that is a pair of jeans, by the time the guzzling thing is full and there is £110 showing on the pump, I am thinking that is a dress AND a lunch!
Anyway!!! After that kind of morning I was super happy to see the DHL van pull up!
It is the new season YSL Arty ring, I really like them but found the gold to be a little bit too blingy for me, so the new muted silvers are pretty perfect. I am going to paint my nails grey tomorrow to match!
I was cheered up even further by two quotes today!
The first was while browsing Grazia with a cup of tea ....... what a classic!
And the second, was from Harry Redknapp (what a 24 hours he has had - he is up there with Jack Bauer today). Describing his dog while giving evidence at his court case, he said, and I quote ....
"I don't like calling Rosie a dog, she was too good for that"
Both those quotes had me actually rolling around today, which after this mornings events was quite unexpected!

Very good, I could fashion that ring with a small hammer to stop the pipes from leaking...
Oooooo, I have Jool's logic, too. I felt it when the road tax letter came through. Oh and the petrol Nicole x
That was a reveal worth waiting for, the breathing got really heavy as I spotted the YSL box! Gorgeous ring, love it and agree that the gold can look a bit "blingy" as it is quite yellow. It will look fab with grey nails.
Re: Jools Logic, oh yes you are not alone on that one! and what is it about the sum "30 quid"? because whenever something costs £30 I always say, "I could buy a bloody top with that"!
If you go out today, have a coffee for me, I'm getting withdrawals, haven't had a decent one since last Friday when I went shopping!
Oh and just realised I forgot to say about the quotes you mentioned. I totally pissed myself over Harry's comment regarding Rosie, it is still making me giggle everytime I think about it, even OH nearly wet himself!
Oh god so did I, I would have loved to have actually been there when he said it - you can just so hear Harry saying it ........... Totally my humour :D x I have had a coffee today, it was a goodie ;) xx
N my car tax notification came this morning .................... Bahhhhh !
£110 to fill your car up?! What the heck do you drive, a tank?! It only costs £40 to fill mine up!
