Today has been one of those sore thumb days. Well DIY does tend to be filled with them. What led to this sad event is that my sons computer chair broke. Magz decided she wished it repaired even though Calum decided to buy a new one. repairing a seat sounds easy enough right. Sadly not when the bolts holding the chair together have snapped. Trying to get the broken ends out of the holes has proven painful. The first one, as always, came out with relative ease. Unfortunately the other one has refused to as simply. In the end I gave up for tonight and will try again tomorrow. That will give mine and my daughter's fingers time to stop throbbing. I think it would have been easier to get rid of the seat as Calum said. Though now I have started trying to repair it, well you know. Why is it when we start doing something like this we can't stop? Well at least until all chance of success is gone. Is it just a male thing? Something to do with our wish to impress even though there is no need? An ancient instinct still hot wired into our brains or something to do with culture? It does make me wonder sometimes.
I still have the decorations to put away in the attic. Yes it is always something that we drag out in our house. Though Magz took the tree down last week it is still sitting in the hallway waiting to be consigned to storage till next needed. Which we are all glad to say isn't for some time. The festive season can be taxing after all, though the gifts are good, hehehe.
