    Unbelievable :mad:

    We've spent most of today putting up the wardrobe, we were doing really well, had just got to putting the doors on when I realised we'd mixed up the top and the shelf. So we've had to take it apart again, unfortunately in the process some of the wood has split.

    So tomorrow we'll have to start again - after buying some wood glue to try to stick the wood back together.

    I'm so cross as we'd almost finished.

    Plus I gave up a pub lunch for this :(

    Boo :(

  • Sorry your hair got rained on and you got woken up early, but glad you've enjoyed your time off and made a start on DD's wardrobe :).

    Happy new year SA. I hope you've got some Prosecco to see the new year in :).

    UPDATE: Oh, just read about DD's wardrobe :eek:

    Thanks SSG and HHOD :) I've got cava for tonight :) Really need it after today.

    I'm just so cross we were doing so well. I really didn't want to spend tomorrow on the wardrobe, I wanted to take down the Christmas decorations, have a good clean round and generally prepare for going back to work on Tuesday. I could cry with frustration :(

    DD came home from work and accused us of breaking her dongle :( We hadn't been anywhere near it.

    Mr SA has gone to bed with a lemsip.

    On the plus side today has been a NSD.

  • Oh dear sorry about the wardrobe :(. Maybe you should put the wardrobe on hold and stick to your plans for tomorrow. Enjoy your Cava :)

  • Agree with Hairy - get your preparations done. I think DD can wait for her wardrobe after her behaviour today.....

    Put your feet up tonight and enjoy the cava!

    DD is off work tomorrow and probably won't be up until at least 11am. So bu$$er the wardrobe it can wait.

    Have told Mr SA we ARE going out for lunch tomorrow - whatever.

    I'm going to spend tomorrow doing what I want, it's my last day off work.

    Will be opening the cava shortly :)
