1. Tesco danish pastries in the toaster.
2. The contraptions my dad builds around the house due to him being a stingy bastard, including
(a) A motion sensor on our stairs to switch on the hall light when you walk up or down them (he was complaining that we left the lights on for too long) - unfortunately my mum cant activate it because she is too short
(b) Our steam room - a modified vegetable steamer with a plastic pipe that pumps steam into our shower cubicle, possibly breaking every health and safety regulation ever made (Total cost - £15)
(c) A pneumatic switch in the cupboard to automatically switch off the light (he really does get annoyed about it)
(d) The shower itself, which he built out of plastic boards he stole out of a skip when they closed his school
(e) The fact that when people come over, I have to explain how the house works to them
(f) The fact that half of our furniture is the stuff that kids in his class build in woodwork, but didnt want (including out coffee table, breakfast bar and bathroom cabinet)
I feel homesick. That is one thing i really love about my dad, because it provides the entire family with non-stop hilarity. Hes a misunderstood genius.
