    What needs doing Spud?

    Loads Bun.

    We have a hole in the bedroom floor that we have to step over, or else we'll end up downstairs. Our floors are big flooring boards, and we just havent a clue how to repair it.

    The fascias (i think thats what theyre called) need painting or replacing. They're beginning to rot.

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

  • Just thinking, between all our DFW mates there may be ways to have bits done and work out payments, IYKWIM.

    I would love to have time away with DH without kids and we could swap for DIY jobs -do you know what I mean?

    Just to make my green eyed monster even greener, my friend just updated her FB to say that she's off to sit by the pool with a mojito. They live in Spain :cool:

  • I've been thinking lately that I wish I could do something with my hands(behave) - like DIY or something. I never seem to have had the time (inclination) to put the hours in. Like, my Mum can knit really well (though she doesn't any more) but she didn't have the patience to teach me after the first session and I wasn't bothered. Same with piano - I used to get my best friend to show me what she'd learnt (she hated it) but I've never kept on with it. Some people have all sorts of things they can turn their hands to, don't they?
