Title: Simple tasks that sort of get out of hand
Post by: Nick on May 06, 2019, 08:51:36 AM

SO, I have two large globe shaped lamp shades on the centre lights. A bulb needs replacing and I think I will use the chance to clean both lamp shades.  angel1

Up the step ladder and both shades and the faulty bulb replaced. New bulb procured and fitted  :thumbsup:

I decide to wash the lampshades in the bath (they are about the size of basketballs). It is as this point that I discover that both contain significant quantities of dead ladybirds  eeek:

I now have to go out and buy a rubber plunger thing as my bath drain is entirely blocked with dead ladybirds  cussing: cussing: cussing:
