Beat this for a crap day - stinking painful hacking cough, scalded foot and hand when filling a hot water bottle and I started coughing while pouring, bought a cough bottle and the chemist had given me a bag with a hole in it which smashed on the floor and sent cough syrup into my work shoes and suit, then coming home wreaking of a menthol foot only to snap my key in the yale lock in the front door.

It's a miracle I have managed to log onto the internet without spontaneously combusting, or make a cup of tea without skewering my eyes out with a teaspoon.

Thankfully, I lost my perfectionism a few years back when I realised it was making me skint and can now laugh at these things instead of having a breakdown.

Christ and i thought i had bad days. Make money out of it, write it down and send it to a mag entitled, "Am i the unluckiest woman in the world," we can all write in with our stories then. But glad you can laugh about it. Only in life eh!

Good God... :grouphug:

Have a seat and a laugh - you deserve it...

I'm afraid I'll break it!!!

Righty-ho, time to brave the 'perils' that are having a long relaxing soak in the bath. If I'm not back online tomorrow, call the Police, I've probably got my big toe stuck in the tap or the plughole.

But only ask for the good looking officers to rescue me!

Its what you do when you are tapping flags down.(With a rubber mallet) It is also used when laying driveways and stuff it is a vibrating machine with a large flat metal foot which vibrates over the concrete, or gravel and flattens them into shape- hence the rabbit metaphor:D

Definitely is Bob the Builder!

Do we get an autograph? :kisses3:

Yes, and i do encores:rotfl:
I think this site is quite bad for me as all my little foibles are coming out. But all my bros and sisters are like me as well- There are 5 of us and between us i reckon we could build a house, bake up a storm, knit and service a car! None of us were treated any differently. My sister has just built half of an extension and plastered it. She had to get a builder to put in the new windows for the certificate and the electrics, but she channeled the grooves out and put in the wiring! they just connected. Last year three of us plumbed in her new bathroom it was an absolute laugh as we were all arguing over where to put stuff.
I have also got a mini digger license- but i haven't renewed it. I can hang internal doors, but not external, lay flags, lay carpets, have had a go at rendering-rubbish at it and i paint and decorate. The only thing i won't do is hang over the bannister in the hall to decorate but i will go up a ladder outside. If it saves money i will have a go.

Bob you have been thinking about a change of direction job wise- well, I think you should set yourself up as a (odd job) handylady. Loads of women would prefer a female in their house than a strange man IYSWIM. Can she do it ? YES she can .
