How I did it

It looks brilliant! Really modern, and really old fashioned both at the same time. And because I am working all week, and the weekends are always wet, I asked my out-of-work … Read how I did it…
It made me
easy peasy
How I did it: Well,obviously everyone knows how to go out and buy anew DVD player - but I don't think I would have done it if it wasn't on my goal list!

Even if it’s as simple as logging a complaint on a customer helpline (Dublin bus, this means you), or sent an e-mail to my local TD. Hard to know where to begin, but as I do love a good old grumble, I’d better make a start.
I seem to have a serious amount of ‘pictures and poems’ books, can’t say I really remember reading any of them. Have put them aside for some valentines day indulgence, but maybe I can let some of them go. They are beautiful things, but they just can’t sit there unappreciated for another ten years. Well, of course they can, but SHOULD they.?...
