the mystery of the tomato sauce bottle & the cutlery

The family tomato sauce bottle.  Firstly there is never ever only 1 bottle in the fridge. Usually there is a sealed one, a half full one and then my all time favourite, the one with 1 tsp worth of tomato sauce left in it.  Now understand ... no-one is ever responsible for opening a new one before the old one is finished ... the bottles just mysteriously move from pantry to fridge.  And no-one ever thinks to finish the other 2 first ... no we just march forward with the fullest one.   And the lid ... why can salad dressing, chutney, tabasco and a myriad of other sauce friends make it cleanly out the bottle, but the tomato sauce always has to be in full presence around the bottle top and cap.  

Knives and Forks .... I am pretty sure that I buy them in pairs.  Like socks.  But over time I also buy other sets.  But we use them in pairs.  Matching pairs.  So how is it possible that I now have set # 1 made up of 6 forks and 2 knives, set # 2 having 5 forks and 7 knives and set # 3 having only the knives.  The damn things must be eloping with the socks!!!!!!  And that sorter thing in the drawer ... it has 3 divisions ... why can the knives, forks and spoons not just lie in their divisions instead of this continual co-habitation. I would be more tolerant if it at least produced more knives and forks. 

Then the loo paper.  The rule is simple ... I don't care if you want it to roll over or under.  If I get to the loo and you have it under I will simply turn it around .... I am OCD like that .... but when I made the rule in our house "if you finish the loo paper then fetch 2 more rolls and put it in there" I should have thought it through.  Because now I have unleashed the *we go to the loo but then we ensure we leave only one block which technically means we have not finished the loo paper and are thus exempt from fetching more* monster.  Give me strength!!!!! 

And what is it with data usage alerts from Cellular companies?  When you start running out of fuel, you get a light that tells you that it is going to happen ... within a reasonable amount of time .... but somehow with data .... 8pm you are on social media ..... 8.01pm you get a sms "you only have 4mb of data left" and then 8.01pm and 9 seconds later ..... BOOM.  

...... on the subject of petrol and petrol lights ...... mmmmmm ....... that is going to be a story you will really enjoy!!! 

Till soon
