    he eas that bad I gave all his tools away!!

    I never told you about the time my ex tried to change a light fitting

    Note I got it in Nov 07 but in Nov 08 he wanted to put it up.

    But it was about 3pm (note in november it goes dark early)

    He had his 13 year old bother stood at the side of him on a chair about 3 hours later with a pen torch - all we could find in the dark!

    4 weeks we had no lights!


    I got VERY brave once & decided to save some cash (in my fitter days) decided to buy a new washer & me "oh it'll be easy to plumb in" in the end I flooded the kitchen damaged the laminate floor & somehow made the draining board in the kitchen live meaning you had a tingle everytime you touched it

    its for the best now I steer clear of everything...

    :rotfl::rotfl:Oh washing machines

    Yes he tried to plumb one of them one and he hadn't turned the water off.

    Water was everywhere and he was screaming and turning some that he didn't even know what it was.

    So I went into the kitchen and turned the stop tap off

    and threw a towel at him laughing, and he said "Don't laugh at least I've stoped the leak" Daft s o d had even noticed what I'd done!

    To make this story even funnier i must let you all know he did a plumbing course when he was out of work!
