Me and DIY.....

Well, whilst chilling out and winding down for Christmas we had a last few little jobs that we needed to get done before being able to totally relax, we recently had a new bathroom installed and i had 3 towel rails and a toilet roll holder that needed fixing to the tiled walls, now, with my DIY skills being about as competent as a two year old i have to confess i'd been putting these jobs off forever but it caught up with me, with a quick call to my plumber/electrician i thought i had it nailed, "give me a quick hand with this will you" i said, but in short he explained what to do, left me his drill and sort of said you can do it because if the tiles crack i don't want you to moan at me, GREAT, just what i needed to hear....

believe it or not though i fitted all of it perfectly, i'm actually quite proud of myself, however, there was one slight hiccup, the final grub screw to secure the last towel rail dropped out, fell in the bath and i watched in semi slow motion as it rolled up one side, then the other all the time heading towards you guessed it, the poxy plug hole, that was it down it went, i couldn't believe it!! The long and the short of it was i had to go to the shop where we brought the rails etc and buy another one to get the correct screw, i was fuming!!!! All sorted now though and i've even put a big full body size mirror up on the wall this morning, that never went quite to plan either, the walls here are really really thin, i drilled the hole to fit the raw plug and ended up going right through into the wardrobe in the bedroom behind the wall so now i've got to fill and repair that, this DIY lark just never goes to plan for me, i'm sure it someone's way of telling me to just leave it alone!!!!!
