Get the right smart plug, you can switch it on from anywhere in the world. OK Siri, make my dinner!
I have a WEMO wifi plug and can switch it on using the app on my phone. The other one is on my kettle, great for these cold mornings "Alexa turn the kettle on"

Do they all take after their mothers?
In my rush to leave the house this morning I forgot to ask my mother in law (on babysitting duty) if she’d mind putting the slow cooker on at lunchtime with the casserole stuff I’d made yesterday in the fridge to go on.
No worries - quick text at lunch and she replied within a few mins ‘sure, where’s your slow cooker?’
‘In the bottom cupboard next the fridge’
No further reply.
Get home at 6... ‘oh I couldn’t find your slow cooker in the cupboard, hope that’s not a problem you’ll just have to do it tomorrow?’
Ffs no I can’t because nobody is in the house on a Tuesday to put the cooker on at lunchtime. And upon pointing at the slow cooker front and centre in the cupboard... ‘oh, I didn’t look there I thought you mean the cupboard by the dishwasher’

k off, I'm not your slave" passive aggressive response to me. Do such a st job so you don't get asked again etc.I told Mrs Robbo about this thread, she reminded me that men can be tools, especially me who should know better.
A few years ago she was interested in buying a new Alfa and rang Alfa Romeo to ask about 147 models. She was given some facts on the different models by which time she had decided on the model she wanted.
Her: What is the delivery time on the Corse, I have decided thats what I want.
Alfa: Sorry we cannot comment on other manufacturers models.
Her: I meant the 147 Corse.
He ended the call quite quickly.

Daughter yesterday was wondering what the weight of our smallest dog was.
I told her to go and weigh herself, then weigh herself whilst holding Daphne (dog) and the difference will be Daphne's weight.
As she was going up the stairs to the bathroom; Daphne in hand, she said "but surely if I'm holding Daphne then her weight will go away and won't register?" I think as she said it she realised what she had said as she said "don't say anything!!"
If anyone is interested, Daphne weighs 3kg.

The regular DPD guy in our area is from Eastern European, and has been delivering here long enough he knows our safeplace when we're out. There's a new guy has been covering the odd day, an Asian chap whose English isn't great so we haven't been able to have the safeplace chat yet.
We were out on Saturday, when the doorbell rang (we've got a Ring bell so it came up on the OH's phone). She said 'Oh, it's the DPD guy'. I asked if it was the Asian guy, as she would have to try and explain where to put the parcel if possible.
She replied with 'no, he's not Asian, he looks Indian'

why are you having a chat about safe places. Just use the app. DPD's is actually pretty useful.We were out on Saturday, when the doorbell rang (we've got a Ring bell so it came up on the OH's phone).

"Yes, washing up liquid"
"Do you mean the tablets or the salt?"
"No, washing up liquid for the pots and pans in the sink, not the dishwasher"
"OK"
Gets home with a litre of Fairy Non Bio for the washing machine
"That isn't what I said"
"You said not for the dishwasher!"
