Old age is a terrible burden!
« on: 19 April 2010, 21:22:04 »
I have just used up 5 hours of my valuable time fitting a new vanity unit & ceramic basin top in the bathroom! The point being, that just a couple of years ago, I would have done the same job in an hour and a half tops (including tea breaks)!!!!!
Not only that, but everything I do seems to be cack handed & I have to think twice before doing anything to save me doing it twice! ;D
I'm sat here typing & the only parts of me not aching are my finger tips LOL ;D  She wants me to paint the ceiling next!!!! :o    Roll on Death!  ;D ;D ;D ;)

But 20 minutes of that was spent trying to remember where you had put the car!
