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?
DM
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!!!
