DIY disastersI 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.

ShearsWhen i was in junior school, so i must have been about 9 or 10, I was helping my mum cut down some bushes and trees in the garden. I'd done ever such a good job like the little labourer i was so i was just chopping the larger bits on the floor and chucking them in a bin bag. Now it was a lovely day so I saw it fit to do this in sandals.
My big toe did not think this was such a good idea when i chopped half way through it, i now have a nice big scar that stretches half way around my toe. The nurse at A&E scrubbed at it like no tomorrow to get it clean, I think thats probably the one and only time i've REALLY wanted to punch a woman in the face.

I know the feelingI broke my hand a couple of days before last xmas. First thing that happens upon getting to the doctors is she catches my hand and squeezes as hard as possible right on the break while asking "Do you feel any pain when I do this?"
