    Pleased to hear Mr 3Dogs is better and that he has earnt enough to cover everything :)

    it must be so hard doing all this. Hopefully as the weather is getting better, less bank holidays, business starts picking up.

    Easy Peasy - the ironing will still be there when the film has finished - the film will not be there when you finish your ironing - Seemples :p:p

    before I read your whole post boult I thought - wow! what an amazing woman! She can fix a shelf and make up sink storage rack! DH tells me to leave the fixing to him as I make things worse than better! :rotfl:


    Aesop, I would be the same with fixing anything up like Boult has done - I can change a plug though so not entirely useless :D:D

    It's a case of me do it or not get done at all,when I was a teenager anything that went wrong use to realy stress Mum and trigger off a fit [she was grand mal epileptic], stepdad was normaly at work, bro out as usual and my atertude was, calm dowm Mum and let me have a go, so that was it I had a go and fixed it and then it snowballed from there and became my job to do the small repair's....... and any flat pack furiture:eek:
    And being able to do a plug is very useful 3Dogs, it's something bro can't do, seeing as he's colour blind.

    never thought about that Boult, What happens if you are colour blind. I know the diagram says this wire, this wire, etc. BUT if they have already been wired wrong?

    well I can only say you are a STAR boult, and that is not a sarcastic comment, that is genuine. x

    Good on you then Boult - a case of 'if you want it done, then do it yourself'. You don't think of that sort of thing for people who are colour blind, do you?

    Actually, if I was to try anything like that at home, Mr 3Dogs tells me off in case I hurt myself :D By the way, he had a right old go at my friend/neighbour, the one who broke her knee and who he is checking in on and doing shopping for while I am away - remember she broke her knee falling off a stool/step changing a light bulb/light shade she had cleaned? Well, the other day she told him that some of her vertical blinds had come down and she'd had a right job fixing them. He asked how she had managed that and she said that she had used the step stool :eek: :eek: he hit the roof at her and was a little worried that he'd gone too far, until she laughed at her own stupidity and said she didn't like bothering him all the time for little things like that :mad: :mad: He made her promise not to do it again .... mind you she said that last time :mad: she is very independent ;);)

    I am off out soon to visit Mam so will be back on here later tonight :D

    :oThank's Ladie's, it's just 'normal' for me to have a go at stuff, and being colour blind has hindered bro a bit, but it's not stopped him from driving, he just had to fill it in on his licence, seeing as it's 3 colour's he can't see, being blue,red and green, but like any other condition it can verry, one of my uncle's it's just the blue he can't tell, and a cousin, for him it's green, so just show's how it can verry.
    Hummmmm, glad I potted on my tomatoe's and courgett's, it's starting to get very mucky looking cloud's outside and the wind's got up and it's gone cold.
    :DGood for your neighbourg 3Dogs, even if she is scaring you by being so independent, can you imadgen what I'm going to be like when I get older:rotfl::eek::o
