I know this is a silly post but hey, i feel excited...and yes i know this is a very sad thing to get excited about....but I just put together a dining table and chair set from Argooos! It involved spanners, screws, nuts, bolts and a drill and i did it all by myself!! first flat pack ive done and I got it right.....unless it breaks tonight [:I]

I think my fiance will be V shocked when he gets home!

If I can do it...then theres hope for EVeRYONE!!

Excellent Tatty ..

Now you know what to do next time you start getting a wobble on .... A great form of distraction

Brilliant Tatty. Deciphering the instructions is usually challenging enough!

Well Done Tatty B you clever girl was it the chinese instructions you understood! LOL

Mu hubby would do exactly the same make sure everything was done right make out he knew what he was doing. Walking around nodding going hmmmmm that's good dear. Just a bit loose there though tighten it up then he feels like he's done his bit! LOL

WELL DONE!

Hey Tatty

Dont sound too eager and good at it or it may give him just the excuse to sit back and leave it all to you. We all know what they are like LOL
