I HAVE a man in our home.. and even he can't do it... :rotfl: I should really call the housing association and get someone out... but what the hell would I say? 'Uh hello housing association? I can't change a bulb...'This is an example of one of the few times I feel I as a man am needed in the home!
Seriously, I_A do you know anyone that can come round and have a go? What kind of fixing is it?
The only way I can describe it is a big circular fitting with a cover you have to take off to get to the bulb.. and we can't get the cover off. :rolleyes:Total 'Failed Business' Debt £29,043

Great thread Angelflower, thanks. Given me a good chuckle this morning, and some new ideas.I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.0

you only use 2 or 3 squares of loo roll every time you 'go' instead of the reams that you used to use so the rolls last longer:DAug GC £63.23/£200, Total Savings £00
