Everytime I need to get some tiny DIY -? do it yourself job, I fall into a panic. You see traditionally men do all the handy work. However, my dearest hubby is anything but handy! Give him a pc and viola, he will sort it out. Give him a hammer and nail and off to A&E we go!

Ok perhaps he is not that bad. Though, I can accept that knowledge is power, and with enough knowledge anything can be accomplished. This is far from the case with my husband. Let me explain.

Everyone knows to check the wall for wires before drilling. My husband (with all his knowledge), even owns a gadget that will confirm if there is electricty behind the walls. Yet did he use it? No! He drilled right through it! I found him standing on a chair in shock with a broken red burning drill tip at the end of his drill and drained of any colour!

Not only did I never get my shelves, I have to find someone to repair damaged plaster? as a result of his fiasco!

Perhaps I will get myself a DIY DVD and do it myself! C’est La Vie!
