Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
A battery operated xmas light decoration decided to leak battery acid (overnight) onto our 20+ year old solid tudor oak coffee table and made a right mess of it. The table itself at the time was about £300+ and we have a matching corner TV unit which was really expensive, both can not be replaced now.
The happy part is that we googled a french polisher in the local area (on a Sunday), and as luck has it he lives about 5 doors away from us which is really bizarre. So he came round, said he'll do it a couple of days after xmas, strip / sand the top down and redo it all for £45. So 20+ years of wear and tear (and 1 small burn) and the large acid burn will hopefully be sorted.
Well chuffed. But mainly a major panic situation is over.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Had my nephew stay over last night, sister and niece were watch JLS, and mu BIL was watching the darts with his friends.
I picked him up in the morning went up the town and bought Minecraft to play on the 360, what he didn't know was I bought two, one for me to play on Saturday night, the other is his Christmas day to play on the xbox he doesn't know he getting
He also said something that made me go all warm inside, he said that he was shy around his other uncle (my brother in-laws brother in-law).

I had a similar thing, last year I was rabbit sitting as I put the key in the lock and turned it, it broke, I could still use it by putting the other part and turn but for safety I needed a locksmith.
I found a neighbour who was a locksmith, I was in when he can and he was able to remove the broken bit, should have cost over £40, but only cosr £20.
