As a matter of fact, everything tastes better cooked over an open fire. 🙂

You put-off washing the floor until all the grotty guests have gone, then after the ritual scrubbing and cleaning, manage to break a bottle of tomato ketchup all over the gleaming surface. Guaranteed.

Terrible things DO happen in threes. Your car **will** be involved in a serious accident, your oven **will** break down and your refrigerator **will** cark it during a heatwave, all in the same week. Murphy’s Law sucks really. 😃

The day _after_ you buy that wonderful computer/television/sound system the bugger goes on discounted special for half-price.

The week you give up meat/alcohol/smoking/smelly cheese, the ‘authorities’ decide that those things are actually beneficial to your good health.

Your cat will only walk across your keyboard if your computer is switched on.

They’ll take my smelly cheese when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.
