Fitted a new curtain rail and curtains in my bedroom and now packing up. Need the chuck key to remove the drill piece. Can't remember where I left it but there's a very limited number of surfaces in my bedroom where I could have left it. My bedroom's not a building site and I'm not likely to have chucked it out the window. There must be a place in the universe where screws, nuts, washers, socks and chuck keys go.

Edit: It was underneath the instructions. :oops:
<chortle> the last week - i thought I'd lost my specs TWICE. Note to self. An empty rucksack has folds, mutiple pockets, nooks and crannies within which a glasses case can evade detection by a groping hand.
Then again, relying on my spare pair might have prompted me to renew my prescription. Print on food products is getting increasingly difficult to read again. £500 out the window. Hoorah! :-(
I've been having trouble reading print on food packets for the last year or so. It's amazing how it feels like the print is getting smaller - the last thing you think of is failing eyesight. :lol:

My sister had 20/20 vision. Blurry vision annoys her a lot more than it does me For me, I had specs at 7, I can still see at 60.....happy days! :-)

When will you no longer be able to see the ladders properly so that some of us can have a chance in the pre-off markets?

Talking about dicks has been banned from the forum. As Kai says, we have to raise the bar, not lower it. :D

Yep me right hand unfortunately

6 weeks with cast Pat, then physio after that!

Hopefully it works. My hand prior to the op was like a grabber in the teddy bear machine on the coastal arcades.

I'm sitting at my computer innocently writing some code, look out the window and see a guy get out of his car with his trousers only covering half his bum!!
I searched this thread for "arse" to find this post and there was three pages worth. :lol:

I was just going to report the same guy got out of his car just now, somebody must have bought him a belt. :D
