    Well I've got the pedals on and the saddle and the handlebars, but the instructions for the front wheel/brakes may as well be in Chinese for all the sense they make to me :o Think I'll have to ask a neighbour to help me finish it off, can't wait to get out and about on it :D

    Ds is watching 'Great British Railway Journeys' on bbc2 now, so I have half an hour to get some jobs done before attempting the bedtime nightmare :o *IF* it goes to plan tonight then I want to do davina dvd and have a bath once he's asleep folloowed by some comping and an early night :)

    When I was at tescos collecting the bike earlier i managed to stub my toe on the trolley. I was wearing flip-flops and have done this loads of times before and it normally is fine after 5 minutes ...anyway, this one is *still* really painful and has a purple bruise like a ring round my toe. I'm soooo hoping I haven't broken it :o I'll see how it is tomorrow and get it checked if it still hurts, I know theres nothing they can do about it anyway but after the problems with my finger I'd want to get it checked out :o

    Hmm, not a good nights sleep, my toe really really hurts, looks like a trip to get it checked out later :o I can't walk very well, going to have to wear flipflops and its been pouring all night so there'll be huge puddles everywhere :cool:

    ooh, poor you with that toe, hope you get it strapped up and have some decent painkillers! Hope you'll be on your new bike before you know it :)

    I always have very black-soled feet from wearing flipflops......oops!

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
