    I'm on a roll with the broken things, now the new patio doors won't lock. Contacted the builder and the door bloke is coming out tomorrow afternoon. This means the doors will be unlocked tonight :eek: Mr SA has a plan involving tying the doors together with a rope.

    One thing after another!

    Day off work tomorrow - lunch with friends :)

  • Oh SA what a nightmare with the broken phone and now door. I hope Mr SA can tie the doors together to make it a bit more secure... failing that the guard dog can protect you!!

    Lunch with friends sounds amazing, you enjoy xx
