Just never had this happened before. Normally go off the opposite for me. I tend to explode or is that implode not sure which. Not sure bits of Calley hanging off the light fitting is a very good idea. A ugger to clean off as well:rotfl:
Maybe the hypnosis and mindfullness is starting to kick. I hope its not just the water infection causing it. As its something I would love to keep going. A nice calm Calley. Who might be able to start getting her life together :T

Hey everypeeps!
I'm exhausted!!
I've been wanting to get rid of an old wardrobe that came with the house.
It must have been put together inside the house as it was too big to fit down the stairs and too big to fit through the front bedroom window.
So, I thought, it must have been put together from a flat pack. It was huge!
Today, I went to a well known high street catalogue store, bought a heavy duty clothes rail, transferred all the clothes onto it and set about unscrewing the wardrobe.
Nope.
There were screws, there were also glue, panel pins, nails and all sorts. This was professionally put together. :huh:
I took it apart, had a break, took the pieces downstairs for a collection Tuesday and ended up stuck with one giant piece (the back panel) jammed at the bottom of the stairs.
Possible penguin
It's at times like these that I start a 'news report' in my head
"Police have found the remains of a woman in her home after colleagues reported that she had failed to turn up for work.
They broke in to a house in Wolverhampton and found Gingernutty's remains trapped against a wall after trying to shift furniture/on the floor after falling off a ladder/apparently electrocuted after using a faulty electrical appliance.
Ms. Nutty's relatives have been informed."
I was able to get under the panel and found an electric saw which I used to cut the panel down to two pieces.
Having got the pieces down, I took another break before going back upstairs to tidy up and sort everything out.
I kept a panel which had a full length mirror stuck to it, screwed cup hooks around the mirror for necklaces, the over door hanger for the scarves is now over the bedroom door instead of hanging off the side of this behemoth and all I need to do now is find a home for my bathrobe.
The dust bunnies from under the wardrobe were so thick, they may have acquired a rudimentary nervous system.
The bedroom is habitable again and I'm just catching up.
ETA: (Another possible penguin) This was after getting an old style Zed Bed down the stairs and getting pinned to the bottom wall by the weight of the thing. I've still got to try and get this out the front door, ready to be collected on Tuesday morning. :eek::huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:0 -
Piece of advice, Gingernutty.....
Never try and get a piano down the stairs.
Not unless you know and can play that well-known piece of music - "The piano's on my foot"!
But seriously, jolly well done you! What a gargantuan task! :T(I just lurve spiders!)

I hope you don't mind but I did giggle in empathy at your penguin, Ginger. I have exactly the same thoughts when things like that happen. WaSp was out shopping once and I got up after a nap and the bedroom door handle came off in my hand. I managed to put it back but I did have a fleeting thought of "WaSp has a car accident and is taken to hospital with a broken leg and no one finds his girlfriend trapped in the bedroom until it is too late!"

I got locked in the bathroom once wearing only a tshirt. It was winter and it was freezing and DH has no DIY ability, so I had images of having to be rescued by a fireman and the indignity of the neighbours seeing my hoohaa. It didn't even occur to me what would happen if DH got into an accident when he went to his parents house to get tools.
Feel much better now. It was a combination of DH being a pain in the bum, PMS and tiredness from all the travelling yesterday. A swim in the hot springs and some food helped me.
Hugs, handshakes and virtual swims in the springs for everyone.Eu não sou uma tartaruga. Eu sou um codigopombo.0 -
