SOMETIMES IT'S JUST BETTER TO WALK AWAY.
« on: September 02, 2011, 09:25:55 AM »
Been feeling like shit all week but kept working away.   Last night I decided I'd Pack up a game a guy has paid a deposit on to make some room.

     As I've frillier it  to the wall I've lost grip and it's tipped right over onto the backbox  ^&^.  I just walked away and went to bed ( @ 7pm ).   

      Didn't hear any breaking glass so fingers crossed it's fine.

Guess I will find out when I get home

I never work on pins when I'm crook. This is a reason why. Take it easy Daniel and PLAY games when you are sick. Hopefully there's no damage mate.
