Longest time to get round to it!!

Post by Gadget »

Whats the longest time you have waited till you got round to 'fixing it'?
When we moved into this house (22 years ago) I had to remove the skirting board in an alcove so we could get a wardrobe in (1/2" to spare).
I put the short length of skirting in a cupboard, saying to Ms Gadget, "I'll fix that back at the weekend".............12 years later, I 'fixed it'
