I’m not a complete girl you know

I got pictures printed from NY and have wanted them up for ages. Last week I got the frames, on Friday I took the toolkit from work and finally last night I got round to actually doing it. Well, there was no real rush!

I may not have the knowledge or inclination to change a flat tyre but I can put up pictures all by myself. Actually, it’s pretty hard to put it up by yourself, you need someone to hold it to see what it looks like, but I persevered on my own. I was adventurous and used the drill (a power tool no less!). I decided that I had watched my dad use the drill enough times I could have a go. And besides, if I messed up I wouldn’t be living here forever.


But I did not mess up at all! Ha! I was brilliant in fact. I think I may have missed my calling as a DIY and home décor specialist. I even knew to consider the wiring in the walls when choosing each spot, then I measured, made little tiny marks, drilled a hole using a drill bit that was the perfect size, put in the raw plug (credit please for not only knowing what a raw plug is, but that I had to use one) and put in the screw.

I’m pretty pleased with the results.



Cleverly put beside my map of the USA. There's another one up too, but in an effort not to bore you (too late?) I'll just show you this one.

Seeing as I managed to put them up with relative ease, you’ve really got to wonder who did this to the kitchen wall in my house.


I mean honestly! A blind one armed child could have hit that mark better. Goodness knows it was big enough.

Father has just told me it's a rawlplug! So maybe I won't change careers.
