Re: DIY Dummies
Whats wrong with the girls doing it, why do you all expect the men to be experts at all things. We have a lot on our plates inventing all the great stuff that makes your lives so easy. When we get home all we ask is our dinner slippers and a nice glass of vino ready, not more graft.

There was 2 ladies featured one doing flat packs 
The other wallpaper - absolute disaster - and laminate flooring, she put carpet underlay beneath so the flooring was lifting and spongy
She couldn't shut her door either

Re: DIY Dummies
I'll keep an eye out for that Patsy, we get channel 5 on the dish.I'm always willing to have a go at DIY, trouble is Phyllis won't let me so I stick to doing my own thing in the shed, the only thing I say to her when she gets a chap in to do things is "When it goes wrong my dear don't ask me to fix it, get your mr wonderful back to do it", I am a dab hand at the flatpack stuff though and I quite enjoy it, the bits I always have left over I just tell her they are 'Spares' and all legs on flatpack tables have to be slightly tilted, it's the new EU law.
Wasn't there an old law in early Victorian times that certain table legs had to be covered for modesty? I think I read something about that, imagine getting all hot and bothered looking at table legs, God you'd want to be desperate.
