You may know me from topics such as - this woman my email address and do Bears Shit in the woods... Well...

[WhereTheSuburbsMeetUttoxeter]

I'm actually trying to hang a door.

I say hang as that is apparently the technical term.
I prefer wrestle.

Yup, it's me up late. I've got this fantastic saw and I haven't lost a limb yet.
I'm so close looking at the bastard door.

Part of me wants to say hurrah, you are strong!

Part of me wants to lie down in the street for the next man to walk by and cry for help. I'll offer my body and he'll say get up you nob, it's me 19 year old from next door.

D'oh.

Another weekend in the suburbs.

I'm not even asking a question.

Here's one - if your door is on the wonk at 3am do you -

Go to bed
Or
Carry on determinedly knowing you might lose a digit

🤷

Just one question, if I may: Why hang a door at 3am?

Actually don't bother replying. I've found a frozen lasagne and my gnarly old pillows are beckoning.

I need a hobby.

Carpentry 🤣😐

Now you've set me off...

Well thing is, you see, is that

I don't know.

I think I'm a bit like Batman.

Fighting DIY by night so that it looks lovely in the morning.

Yeah. That.

Fair enough . I clean my house sometimes in the early hours for the same reason. We're soulmates. Obviously. Except I hate DIY.

Hurrah, my soul mate! You do my cleaning and I'll do your DIY.

Although I'd recommend a contract with disclaimers and stuff. It turns out I'm not very good at DIY.

Thing is, if I'm not doing it, I can hardly tell DD to charge the drill 🤣

I often do things in the middle of the night. There are no little people clamouring for my attention and I have the mental space to indulge my random thoughts.

However, I'm autistic with ADHD and impulsivity is a bit of a thing for me. There is zero chance of me tucking up nicely in bed once I've had An Idea......

I don't know how to hang a door though. Sorry.

I also have adhd and autism and I would rather do things at night . I feel the atmosphere is calmer so it stops my brain from going crazy so i can concentrate. I also love cleaning when it's raining outside , my time anxiety pauses coz I feel like I am able to do that coz I can't do anything else.

As for doors or DIY? Not my fortè lol

You're so right! There is somehow a different atmosphere at night, isn't there??!

It's absolutely tipping down with rain here now funnily enough - I'm in the conservatory because I love hearing it pelt down ❤️

I also love cleaning when it's raining outside , my time anxiety pauses coz I feel like I am able to do that coz I can't do anything else.

Haha @SpidersAreShitheads I do similar!

OP there's many a time I've DIY'd in the night - I once came home from a shit party and re-painted my bathroom!

Can't now as I'd wake the offspring (not that they're as considerate, with their nocturnal fridge raiding, but hey ho!).

I am loving this thread. I think I may have found another missing part of my tribe. I actually struggle with having to live in a world where everybody's body clock seems to run 6am to 10pm. I find I'm much more productive 2pm to 2am. I see nothing amiss with door wrestling at 3am as long as there are no neighbours to scare.

Did you go to bed or keep wrestling @WhereTheSuburbsMeetUttoxeter?
Very funny thread. Hope you still have all your digits! 😂

My people! I've found you 🤣 Guess what? Have had initial assessment for ADHD and ASD an am awaiting the diagnosis appointment - been 2 years so far ...

I'm to self diagnose at the moment because all of a sudden the world and all of my struggles at nearly 50 made sense.

I didn't know whether to be relieved of grieve for the life lost without support.

So yeah, drill out, saw out, you should check out my screw driver collection. Corrr!! 🤣

All digits still intact thank you. I fell asleep pondering whether toes are digits? If not what are they.

I bet the answer is really obvious. Whilst I have a brain that seems to memorise and retain, it's the simple stuff that eludes me.

Door's looking good though 🤣 well... You know, a bit erm 🤷🙄. It opens. Jobs a good 'un 🤣
