For me.....

Nailing Only Connect, and I mean PROPERLY nailing it, the walls, everything and no one being there to see my brilliance. Yes I can go to work and tell people but they wont believe me will they?

The night I slept in a dress because I couldn’t get the zip down and ds was too tiny to help.

How did you get out of it?! PResumably you are not still wearing it? Or maybe you are and I am being crashingly insensitive....

No one to scratch my back, a door frame just is not the same , no one to warm the bed for me .

Thankfully is wasn’t a ballgown or anything, so I wore it to a mates the next day and took clothes to change into.
My widowed mother told me another widow she met has tied thing string to all her zippers and tucked them into the dress to avoid this.
I impressed you completed the wall though. All the other people talking puts me off.

telescopic back scratchers have there places in this world but nothing beats a real hand and nails scratch . though I have to say at that price I may well order one ,

Going for a impromptu meal or drink.

Having some one to 'just hold that a minuet' while out shopping and need to use the loo or DIY at home while measuring something or seeing if its straight .
