Bodge JobsIf you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of duck tape, it's not worth fixing at all, my old mate said minutes before that nasty business with the hammer and a roll of duck tape. Tell us of McGyver-like repairs and whether they were a brilliant success or a health and safety nightmare.

No funnies, butMy then 2 year old daughter pulled a 3/4" thick glass tabletop onto her head once, which knocked her over and smashed on top of her. It was just held on by those rubber anti slip things and gravity.
It was the most terrifying thing I have ever seen. Since then, everything bigger than a flowerpot has been bolted, screwed, tied or glued to the nearest solid object.

That'd be a more practical solution, short-term.(, Tue 15 Mar 2011, 10:28, closed)
Yeah,I missed 'handcuffed' off the list.
She's 7 now, so I let her use the welder, chainsaw etc. However have a 9 month old son, we keep him in a cupboard.

One of mine was so lively and dangerous to let out of my sightthat when he was about 10 months old I was once reduced to taking him to the lavvy with me and holding him down with one foot while I did my doings.
As parents will know, this is no exaggeration. A few years ago two little Scottish twins were crushed to death when they awoke from a nap and decided to climb on a chest of drawers, pulling it over on themselves.
