    A sheet of perspex? You weren't thinking of manoeuvring a large sheet of anything in this wind were you? :eek:

    As for the tin opener...too much gassing, not enough looking... ;)

    Not pathetic at all. Christmas is a bad time for being on your own.

    I'm not a winter person at the best of times Beanie - but we're moving towards summer now :D days are getting longer lol.

    Yes, sometimes all you can do is just keep plodding, that is quite wise. How is PAP doing? not seen her about for a bit.

    Rant Alert

    I've made the icecream as requested by mummy dearest :D off to see my folks and perhaps my bro if he's home already, hopefully they will cheer me up. If not I think there's a lot of Victoria Wood on tv tonight so that might do the job.

    Everyone has a truly crap day every now and again Skinty. I dropped my motorbike about a year after my mum died and I cried my eyes out because I'd hurt my ankle and I just wanted my mum!

    If they haven't made you laugh watch Victoria Wood and then watch Graham Norton...or skip straight to the last 5 minutes in the red chair.

    Chin up...it's just a crap day.

    It hurts even more when the wind picks it up and smacks an edge into your face. Avoid handling stuff like that in the wind - if you've ever struggled with a brolly, you'll know why.
