Stuff that happened to you that doesnt deserve a thread

[Jp1905]

So yesterday I caught a good bargain at CTM,time to redo the bathroom before the little one arrives...but tomorrow when they start breaking out all the old stuff and the dust starts flying around,Im not sure whether it would still feel like such a bargain.

I just refuse to do tiles by myself again,Im a little OCD,but its much easier telling someone else that a tile is skew or something is wrong,than telling yourself that when you’re laying them.

I love work, I can sit and watch people working for hours. I usually tried to do everything myself, but circumstances mean I have to now "trust" someone else to do it. On day one I give him my square and spirit level, and I use same to check his work. No more it must be the level that's wrong. Found this made them sit up and take notice and do it right the first time. Works for me every time so far, especially if you pull down days one work or kick a wall over and tell him the cost for that is for his account. I have had contractors walk off site before starting, but I have had more that really put in the effort.

Started replacing previously mentioned doors today. One is at least 85% done. Some more plastering, finishing and safety gate required. I however am feeling broken this evening. Office work has made me soft, lol.

This wall faces straight north and the elements have totally destroyed those wooden happy doors.

Rain stopped play on the second day. So glad I could use that excuse, gives me time to recover a bit.

When is baby due @Jp1905 ?

Doctor reckons 12 June but its normal birth so who really knows. I must say Ive been having fun prepping the baby room,the cot we have has been restored as it comes from the dinosaur era(father in law and his older brother of 63 slept in this cot as babies).The wife is the creative one,give me an idea and I will try make it work somehow...

Wife wanted to buy one of these wooden baby gyms at a baby expo,I told her there is no way I am buying a piece of wood for R800,so I made one and it cost me a fraction of the price.

@Bumblebabe I created a recipe for gluten free fried chicken.

All you need is cornflour, any spices and herbs that are gluten free to your liking. Just an egg or two beaten. Dip the chicken into the cornflour mix, dip into egg and back into the cornflour mix again to coat the chicken. Then fry it in a pot of oil.

Voila! It's divine! And way better than KFC too.

@RainstormZA
I'm sorry to be the barer of bad news.
The corn flour is comes with its own set of problems. Same with rice and potatoes.

The problem with gluten is the protein gluten, it causes holes in the stomach lining and you end up with undigested food particles in your blood stream.
Corn and potatoes have their own gluten-like proteins that are no good for any of use.
To top it they are also high carb, this means they are as good as sugar for you. Your liver turns high carb foods in to sugar, your insulin levels god up, this is the process that does so much harm because it was not meant to be used so much.

@Bumblebabe HELP!

True true but I only have it once in a blue moon because it's a lot of work to make it.

@Bumblebabe, believe me I'm very tempted - especially when I see those deliciously healthy lunches which you offer every day!

You know what I realize our parents tell us to "not play with our food"
I've been playing so lekker, and have some amazing things to try next week

One day we'll be able to send such goodies too

Booked the weekend away at a BnB. Owners decided to have a party till 1am which stuffed up my ability to relax. Came home to a car with a bent open door, missing radio and sound system. C'est la vie.

Sorry about what you had to go through, and for the loss. At least that can be replaced.
