    We've been planning to demolish our garage and replace it with a summerhouse / store for about 5 years.

    The price has doubled since our initial quote, and there's every chance the garage will fall down before we get 'round to knocking it down.

    Fit new handle to patio door (snapped) - 6 months and counting.

    Fill and paint damage to stairs wall - 9 months and counting.

    Tighten screws to curtain pole so it doesn't look like it's going to fall off any minute - a few years and counting.

    Remove self closers from doors to stop fingers getting trapped - 13 years and counting. (To be honest I have removed 3 of the 5 ;) )

    Bought a £150.00 bbq in sale for £60.00 from b/q 18 months ago started to build it up then certain situations in life took over and it got put on the back burner
    ( pardon the pun) most of it is still boxed up in the shed waiting to be added.

    I started to build a football team about a year ago. Sadly I have made no progress at all and it looks no better than when I started.
