Was at work yesterday from 12:00 am to 19:00 last night and again from 05:00 today until now. Now it's time for dishes, laundry and the like. I can maybe start seeing the advantages of having a wife around

I am oficially DEBT FREE!! It's been 4 Looooong ass years but finally passed the finish line 10 minutes ago.
Now on to the next mission... To build up my credit score and purchase my house. So I guess I worked to be debt free to just start new debt?

Big congrats,and very well done, there is a huge difference between having debt for clothing accounts and the latest flashy car and having debt for an asset. Very few of us can manage to buy a house cash, so that bond is essential.
I have very little spare cash as I am trying hard to pay off a second bond (finished the first) on a property that hopefully will bring in rental income in my retirement. I have no debts, well looked after old cars and a paid up property. "Them out there" know this. I have never had so many offers for more debt than in the last two years.
Message to "them" Sod off.
Keep it up, you will look at thing differently going forward.

It is the most surreal feeling ever. Paid off my Loan and my Vehicle today. All my other accounts have been paid off. I think month end is going to feel very weird not having the bulk of my salary going out to debt payments.

Just when I thought the days of "private number" were over... First my mom got a hang up call from one an hour ago (on an old extra contract number of mine that she's been using for years, and then ten minutes ago I get one on my number... P!sses me the f@ck off I tell you.
The reason my phone has been on silent for the last 10 years. And explaining the POPI act helps nothing. They don't care. Just pass your number to the next.
The best was when the DA phoned me on my tablet to remind me to go vote. I don't even know my tablet's number.
Talking about "modwash".... Mrs Chuck Norris Lungs let me know that she had her first serious vape "accident" today...
She dropped one of her Voopoo's in the loo at work... now, my initial response was without thought but ended up being very close: "oh crap!"
So, guess who is cleaning a vooPOO device tonight, luckily it was only her number 1 accident and not a number 2...

Vooping hazards!
Bonus points for her for being a VOOPOO product...
Your story reminds me of a cell phone claim I got.
"Hi Paul
Howzit man , whatsup
I got mugged last night and they took my phone
Sho, where was this
O Hagens
Yeah right I know you, did you get pissed and loose it
er ya well
come on man just be honest or I can't help you
OK, I went to the loo for a number two after a few pints and a curry
Ya
My phone rang and I dropped it down the loo.
No sweat brother I will assist you.
"Hello, is that the assesor
Yeah Hi Paul
That claim I sent you, apparently the phone is still down the loo if you want to collect for salvage
Er ya, I already passed the claim
Don't you want the old phone then ?
Don't worry no is blocked already
Just go get it man, whats the problem ? Hello, Hello, are you still there ?

So it’s not a Voopoo, it's a Voopee.
I would just get a new mod somewhere on special.
jip, my idea too, just need to find something somewhere that has a little something for me too... two birds, one vape shop...
Not that I like to punt certain vapeshops, but Vaper's Corner got some good specials on this weekend.
Quick update: she fished it out so quick that not a drop of "water" went into the battery compartment or the internals of the mod, so she was quite relieved about that. But apparently the amount of swear words started alphabetically at "A" and ended at "O" (she didn't reach the P for a second time) in the same timeframe that she fished it out... so it has been cleaned, twice... the things we do for love...
My mom's domestic worker brought over some food for me and doggo while I was at work. Didn't put it in the fridge though, so now I woke up from my usual Friday afternoon nap, k@k hungry and both plates were crawling with ants

That sucks!!! Nothing like waiting to eat something later just to find it full of ants or that one of your kids ate it thinking it was free game...
Quick fix though: Rinse off with boiling hot water, that way you get rid of the ants and reheat the food at the same time.... problem solved... or not... (PS: that method doesn't work on the kids anymore either...)
You didnt miss much. Was arguably the most boring race of the seasonFreakin' loadshedding 5 minutes before the F1 start! Pathetic what's happening in our country
Sitting in a teams meeting yesterday somewhere between 10am and 11am the geyser decided to start spewing out water through the overflow. Closed the inlet tap to the house and it eventually stopped. Up the ladder for a quick look and it popped, water flowing out of both sides of the housing. Thank goodness it did not spray all through the ceiling and was contained to the driptray and overflow.
Plumbers contacted, trustees informed but they could only come and blank off the geyser last night so that we can at least have cold water and the insurance claim will only go through today. So chances are I'll only have hot water by tomorrow night again depending on how fast the insurance and the plumbers are today.
Good news: I can flush my toilet and make tea
Bad news: I work from home, I can't use the excuse of "no hot water" to not go to work
My son tried the "take a cold shower dad" on me, told him he's the young adult, he still needs the cold showers now and again when is GF visits. Me, I have had my fair share of them and I'll rather wash like a baby.... in the basin with kettle water!

Sorry to hear that
... we too have had a few of those burst geyser experiences of recent, as clearly geysers don't like the intermittent water and power supply currently the norm in SA .... I now have the belt an braces approach with pressure regulation, anti backflow valve and (air),pressure release on the water main coming into the house as well as on the individual geysers.
