Frustration is....

[Katherine]

When you develop the beginnings of a bad back from sitting on the sofa with the laptop, so start using a standing desk that fixes the problem, only to develop vertigo and have to go back to sitting down...

Have you got a lap tray, a tray with a cushion attached! It raises the device so you're not leaning over as much.

Yup! I've come to the conclusion that sofas are like saddles - soft and squidgy seems like a great idea but in reality...

Then you try to put another on, and fail to make it seal correctly, and try a third to see if that will cover it, then you do the sensible thing and start all over again. Just don't ask how I know that!

I've just managed a three-er - ie. three patches over one hole - so I think I can see how you gained your special knowledge.

Dropping one half of a split link on the garage floor. You no damn well you won't find it till you're looking for a small screw you drop three months later - which you won't find till....

If you're that successful you can come and look round my shed, I lost a split link there last April.

Why watch them if you know they're bad?

Anything that I buy in Morrisons that is wrapped, as you always need a chainsaw to get into it
Dropping absolutely everything on the floor when you have a bad back or an injury
The fact that the weeds in the lawn pop up again within hours of me cutting it..............

Just a few of mine!

Don't parade about like you are some sort of expert on it though, as, you still haven't seen it

fixing a punctured tyre then finding you've applied the patch just next to the hole.

I've had that as well. I now always mark the actual hole with chalk so the patch is centred on it.

3 months after a spinal operation and still not being able to ride for more than 10 mins

I was wondering how you were doing. also unlike.

Getting "the stare" for being in lycra and on crutches! who says I have to be able to walk to be able to ride a trike? (sorry at roadrash - but I am still wheelchair bound for anything more than 100m walking which is pretty much everything)

Still not being able to sit (up) for more than 10 minutes 3 months after a spinal operation

Cancelling a meet-up with a mate for a pedal this morning because the weather forecast was absolutely diabolical, and offering to stay in and paint the front bedroom, then it doesn't bloody well rain!!!!

At least I have 9 brownie points from Mrs Pete

Getting 9 brownie points and then discovering that the currency is so volatile I'm down 9 brownie points for no reason I can discern
