    You?

    Dodging the snow. Ice is a bigger problem round here though, its just rained again so that lot'll freeze as well.

    Makes driving interesting though, tried to back an articulated trailer on to a delivery bay today on sheet ice.....almost impossible!
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    I am struggling with my independant woman-ness today.

    Braved the spider-loft...drill wasn't there.

    Eventually found it in N's wardrobe (which is where everyone keeps their drill, isn't it? :rolleyes:).

    Couldn't work out how to use it, and the instructions are missing.

    Eventually worked out how to use it, but the actual drill things (the swirly metal bits) are not in the box, at least none that are the right size.

    Think I saw them up in the loft.... :wall: (I have put the ladder away and closed it back up)



    The drill is sooo heavy I can hardly lift it, and I'm scared of loud noises. As well as spiders.

    Want to cry and want a nice man to come and put the bloody shelves up for me. :o

    This is the meal where I have swallowed my pride and allowed them to pay for me. Seems wrong not to make the effort. If I'd paid I'd definitely not go!

    Snaggles, I'm not even thinking about putting my shelves up myself, come the new year I'm saving up for a handyman.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
