I am a dyspraxic woman
As such, I am not very good with the whole DIY thing. Indeed, the only thing I ever attempted to do was put up a shelf. It was wonky and collapsed almost immediately as I had nailed (lacking any screwdrivers) it into pure plaster.

So I'll tell you about my superglue disasters instead. I have superglued:
-all of my fingers together.
-the superglue dispenser to my rather expensive floor (this was actually connected to gluing my fingers together: you try getting the lid back on the bastard thing when all you have is a pair of mono-fingers).
-my finger to my lip (instinct dictates that if one gets something unpleasant and not higly toxic on one's finger, it's best to suck it off).
-my hand to the tap (having learned that sucking didn't work, I attempted rinsing).
-the legs of my jeans together.

Oh, and once the lawnmower broke, so I tried to mow the lawn with a kitchen knife. A blunt kitchen knife. My visions of appearing like a machete wielding bushranger faded fast, and I got bored after about a square foot.

love of SUPERGLUE!!
i have to say, i did post (3 above) in response to yours. it's not meant in a jim davidson manner. it's just how these things seem to be.

i love the kitchen knife thing though, i practice what i call 'speed gardening'. I HATE gardening so when i do get round to it i'll use any tool available, my neighbours have grown used to me attacking the roses with a handsaw. if our respective partners ever die in a glue related accident we might well want to get together.
