DIY Disaster!

When we got our curtains, we had a look at the window on which they were to go and saw little plaster marks. So on closer inspection we noticed that the person who owns the house had plastered over the previous rawl plugs - result! Or so we thought. So rather than drill new holes with the drill we borrowed (Thanks Andrew & Carol!) Jonny began to screw the shiny new screws into the wall. The curtain pole went up and it was an excellent job (if I do say so myself!)

Jonny's grandfather is a master joiner, but unfortunately the trait mustn't run in the family! While sitting writing an e-mail one day there was quite a shout, and Julie ran into the living room to see me under two curtains and a curtain pole, and a bump on my head!

Obviously humbled by my DIY experience I decided to bypass the shortcut and drill proper holes, put in new plugs and the job was a success - for now at least.

Hopefully the curtains as you see below will stay up for at least a few weeks this time!
