  • I'd have expected you to have already vacuumed.

    In that case, as above, but put on some gardening gloves first.

    I kind of assumed you'd be applying adult common sense to my destructions.
    You can't go blaming me because you're a ham-fsted butter fingers, so eager to get w4nkered that he acts like teenager left home alone for the first time!

    Pastures.....

    I'm a male.

    And Scottish.

    We really have to talk about your expectation levels here.... :o

    Well, I'd have thought that any 'normal' person would have first cleared away all the broken glass/debris, put all the glass into thick newspaper .... and vacuumed round/looked for stray bits and pieces...... and mopped up pools of liquid .... BEFORE posting on the soddin' Internet :)

    Nope.......

    Drop bottle, swear loudly, pick up large bits of broken bottle and table, grab towels, throw over remaining mess, go and have a moan on the internet.

    Followed by pick up towels, dustbuster remaining smaller bits of glass, get the hoover out for the rest.

    Pretty much in that order.

    Although have now also ordered a pizza and found a few bottles of beer to stick in the fridge.

    So I've not been completely useless.:)

    I see, no need for a stairlift, merely the right motivation ;)

    Had middle son's parents' consultation on Thursday, he is doing extremely well and at this early stage, is predicted and working at 4 A's. He still doesn't understand why he has to do four whilst others are doing 3 despite being told it is because he is one of the brighter ones...he just sees it as being unfair.

    He is also now doing some singing (he started his musical life as a singer rather than a drummer), he did a duet on Thursday, covering the Glee version of Smooth Criminal...NOT what people would expect him to sing bearing in mind he is into bands like Stone Sour, Metallica, Slipknot and Avenged Sevenfold! In doing the duet, he surprised the pants off his music teachers, they didn't realise he could sing!

    I love your boys Sue, they just do so well, frequently preceded by a catalogue of possible issues.

    Not new, not pristine, clearly.

    But still folded on original lines.

    Yell if you want one or both.
