As many of you will know, I roll from one disaster into the next.
Sunday, due to be at the Windmill Summer Fete, as I am running a stall. Went round to secure the windows, and the side kitchen window wouldn't pull in. Went outside and opened it right out to see what was sticking, and sprayed all the slider hinges with Silicone. Pulled it down and as I did the stays on the hinges both bent outward. So the window is now completely jammed wide open.
Had to go, left it, and went out. Got in, and a neighbour pulled the stays back in, and managed to push window in, but not closed.
Rang my window people, and he came immediately took it all to bits and replaced the hinges.
Disaster averted - cost £78, and a £5 "drink". I wasn't laughing at the time, but I wish I had been framed.
£250.
