    Leeds festival. With a full disabled pass to make it easier. At least there I don't have to worry about not being able to shower! I just hope the weather's better than last year, although needing two fit men to pull me up the muddy slope did have it's good points!

    Ames, zips aren't that difficult but they can be fiddly and a complete bug-ger when it's jeans. not sure I'd do it by hand as my machine stitching is much stronger.

    I need to learn to plaster, I've got two spots in the living room that need doing. Just needs a quick patch up job till the whole place gets rewired in a year or two. Dad was supposed to be coming over to do it, but I never managed to get the flat tidy to his standards, and now he's got a girlfriend he's spending all his time with.

    It's not jeans just a summer dress. The problem last time was that apparantly long black zips were impossible to get hold of. It's a green or cream one this time, which I assume will be harder.

    Skinty - I've no idea of quantity, I used to mix up a bucket of plaster and slap it on....my Dad showed me what to do and I just got on with it, every single evening for about 2 months, after the kids had gone to bed and before I'd fall asleep on the ladder :D

    Bunny - of course you didn't offend - I did have to read it twice though! :D

    Ames you really need to using a sewing machine to put a zip in - you'd not get the tension right otherwise.

    This show with Peter Andre is making me cry-little Junior is clearly heartbroken, poor little thing.

    Oh god.
