    when i get into it, it's ok... i'm quite good - if i plan ahead enough... my usual problems are :

    (1) i always forget stuff, 4 trips aday back and forwards to wander aimlessly around B&Q on the coast road.

    (2) 1 job usually creates atleast 4 others i never planned 4 - which then leads me back to Point (1)


    Although, i can now fit a gas range cooker, 32A breaker for it and matching hood... rebuilt my whole kitchen myself.. :up: it'll look good when it's finshed... when i have time... :spangled:

    PLUS the black and decker shop at the royal quays is MINT - soon i'll have everything they stock... i MAKE jobs so i can buy the equipment... it's cheaper to BUY a new door than strip the paint off it - but i still have the most expensive unopened paint-stripping-gun-heat-blower-thing...

    what? it's got a bayonet fitting on - wire up chunky cable, plug bayonet in, doesn't smell funny - jobs a good 'un.

    handy painting hint: do a gram line of horse then set about painting your room, it achieves a stunning random but "modern look"

    AND the **** was going to charge me £75 for plugging it in, waving his 'gas smelling device' around and saying "its fine"

    Will you send them my way? I usually get bored when the room is half done and it stays like that for months!
