can i winge for a moment?

Today was a day for getting those silly little jobs done around the house.

Fix the faulty tap: it wasn't JUST the washer, the spindle had got bent somehow so it took a bit longer.
Replace broken door handle: they don't sell the exact one we had so had to get a set and that means re-drilling the door.
Replace light switch cord: replacing the broken section wasn't enough so I had to dismantle the switch mechanism rather than but the whole lot new.
Replace broken toilet seat (see earlier entries regarding mother in law): I bought the wrong type (apparently)

So it's a constant barrage of 'you're taking to long', 'my brother could have done it quicker', 'I didn't want a botched job' etc.

Now, why was it I had low self esteem?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

lesson: your value is you, not just what you do. (poetic eh?)

They simply don't understand! We try our best, but it's never good enough! Buy her a toolkit for her next birthday!

you could at least have called up to administer a quick slap before you flew out lol.

How observant Karen but you do know they onlt lost because they realised you had abandoned them.

Keith, I would be seriously worried about letting her play with anything sharp hehe.
