Good point, well made I shall refrain from using curveball and use the UK equivalent - throwing a googly' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terribly sorry, allow me to rectify: I recently bought 3 display cabinets from Ikea (Detolf in black/brown). My intention was to stand then in a row but after having built 2 and put them next to each other, they don't seem to sit perfectly flush. I'm not sure if this is down to the units themselves or if the floor is a bit uneven (if you pressed me, I'd guess it's the floor). This is now making me rethink where to put them in the living room, though to be honest the intention was always to have them in the 3rd bedroom once it was clear, so I might just start clearing it now and hold off building the last Detolf until the space is ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Much better. Going home for tonight. Done our part. More than our part, in fact. Now I'm going to take a shower, put some fuel in my car amd then go home to relax with some FIFA19 before I go to bed. I play as semipro as I pretty much suck. But Villa are top of the table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il_serpente Posted October 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2018 I intend to stop on the way home to pick up a couple of batteries for the tail light for my son's bicycle so that my OH will worry less when he makes the 1/4 mile ride in the dark with no traffic in the morning. Then I'll probably add a program to our irrigation system so that we can have half the front lawn watered only every other day instead of every day since it's getting soggy.

But his route to school is just a couple of turns on fairly small residential streets and most people in our neighborhood work fairly close by so the traffic hasn't started up yet at 6:45 AM.
