Cranky pregnant women need this in their lives...And a phonebook icon! Why would your doorbell have that? Unless it has a list of your contacts and if you're not on the list it tells you to bog off?

Oh dear! I have a confession to make!
When I asked my brother on his return from work yesterday why he had a doorbell that looked so like a phone and actually had phone type icons on it, he again looked at me as if I might be losing it slightly. I pointed out to him the object in question and he gently and patiently explained that it was in fact......... a phone! 'So why' I squawked somewhat indignantly, ' did you nod at it and say that it was a doorbell?' Turns out he wasn't nodding at that, he was nodding at the object in the wall socket behind it which is.....yes, you guessed it a doorbell!
Well all I can say is he may be more tech savvy than me (not difficult) but he will never be my equal in communication skills. I mean, why didn't he point directly to it instead of a vague nod? Where was his summing up and his checking for understanding? Tsk tsk!
So my apologies everyone for a somewhat misleading post yesterday, and here's to more brotherly/sisterly banter no doubt! He's got to put up with me for at least another week still!

Well at least we were not going barmy because we all thought it looked like a phone but believed your brother's nod in the wrong direction.

Hmph! Before going to bed he asked if I could take my new cast off to have a shower.I said I wouldn't dream of it and he wanted to know why not.I replied that I didn't want any screws to come loose. 'You mean no more than already' was his parting shot. Hmph! Was it Oscar Wilde who said 'Revenge is a dish best taken cold' or something like that?
If you put a bin liner over your arm and tape up the end tight - and maybe a latex glove on the hand end for reinforcement - you might be able to manage without removing it? Also you may start a new fashion trend...Just ask him to buy you one of the special waterproof tubes to cover the plaster cast. They’re effective, but probably expensive!
