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.

@SexmonkeyI don't think my ma had heard of cointreau either. Well, she may have heard of it but she'd obviously never tried it. If she'd ever had any she wouldn't have had to make it herself, I think.
My parents are a bit hippyish in a no money whatsoever, totally working class background kind of way (though Norn Iron doesn't really have the same class system as England). It means we escaped the chaviness but then again, I got all my clothes from the black bin bags of stuff my cousins were throwing out. Oh, and my mum once bought my school coat secondhand off my schoolmate who proceeded to tell everyone I was wearing a secondhand coat - her secondhand coat. She was a complete dick though, that's the only thing that bothered me, that I was wearing a dick's coat.
