This is a question DIY disasters

I just can't do power tools. They always fly out of control and end up embedded somewhere they shouldn't. I've no idea how I've still got all the appendages I was born with.

Add to that the fact that nothing ends up square, able to support weight or free of sticking-out sharp bits and you can see why I try to avoid DIY.

Tell us of your own DIY disasters.

DIY Prospects!
I've spent the last three years as a recruitment consultant, and hated every second.

I've tried everything to get out, even tried using another recruitment consultant. Nothing. Nada. Only good for sales, apparently.

So I started 'Doing It Myself'. I wrote letters, made 'phone calls, begged and pleaded. I applied for everything, and just when I thought I was never going to get anywhere and began accepting my fate...

I have today been offered a job! Marketing & Research manager for a website! More money! Better prospects! Job satisfaction!

(Sorry it's not on topic, I just had to tell someone!)

Well done!
I have just sent out whoring emails to one of my local institutions of higher education in the hope they will accept my kind offers to teach their students...I've received back a lovely email saying thanks, maybe...

Your news is better. Well done!
