DIY: I recently shelved an alcove in my bedroom with great success, however in truth I am fucking rubbish.
I am slapdash and impatient, and these qualities do not a craftsman make.

That said I am a decent cook and can do musical and artistic things to a reasonable standard so it's not all bad news.

I suspect I think DIY is beneath me and cannot apply myself to it because I just don't care and would rather someone else do it, ideally a chirpy commoner.

I am ok at DIY
but most importantly I know my limits, so I can rattle a few things together and I am pretty good at fixing minor plumbing and electrics I know when I will be getting out of my depth. I think that's the main problem with people who fuck up their houses is they think they have a greater skill set than they do.

I am a pretty good chef, and have worked as a commie etc. but I rarely get to show it as the missus is a vegie freak.

most of the staff are fab
but i hated the rottweiler on admissions. my dad's mate, who's a consultant, had pulled a few strings to get him straight into the private hospital without prior confirmation from the health insurer. you can do this, but you have to cough up, upfront, it turns out, and then hope you get it back. (so far the bugger has cost me £3k, for 2 admissions, i told them to sell his organs and keep the change.) but what pissed me off was the fact that this woman had zero regard for his condition, and simply repeated ad nauseam that we had to pay upfront...

bedside manner, much??

Lunch - homemade chicken and vegetable soup
DIY - not too bad, but I know my limitations. Basic carpentry, decorating, bit of plastering, etc I can all do. Won't touch gas, electric or water though.

Cooking - pretty handy. Can turn my hand to most things, but my speciality is a nice Sunday roast with all the gubbins. I'm also pretty decent with the puddings - apple crumble, sticking toffee pudding etc.

Alt: I'm off, kids are at school, girlfriend working, so I guess it'll be a 12-hour wankathon. Oh and maybe some gardening.
