Some days if one is not desperate to make up a present (that is if you don't make one, you won't have one to give) it's better to swallow your pride, chuck it in a box and come back on a day when your brain is engaged in working order. Glad you could see the funny side of it and it happens to all of us, even if we don't admit to it :P<br />Cheers,<br />RobynRobynLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050372484207822842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-52356406964080605112011-09-01T14:10:07.957+01:002011-09-01T14:10:07.957+01:00Thanks for the laugh....and for reminding me that ...Thanks for the laugh....and for reminding me that I'm not the only one that has projects go wrong. You, however, are much more patient than I! I would have tossed them in the garbage after the first couple of problems...or at least, tossed them aside for another day. Therefore, you get bonus points for persevering AND for sharing the experience with us.
