Exclamation Never volunteer!

There's a saying in the Armed Forces in Britain (and probably other countries too! ) which goes "A Volunteer is someone who misunderstood the question".

That's me, that is! I volunteered to help re-do my friends bathroom over the weekend, so I was there with my tools etc. etc. ..... cut a long story short, what I thought would take a day, tops, took ALL weekend plus half of today! Cheesh!

Anyone else volunteer for something that took more time/money/effort than you first thought?

P.S. Found out I did all that with a broken wrist...... it's my frigging MOUSE hand too!

DM, sat in my mousehole feeling PAAAIIN!!!
