This weekend I was the one to break something, we have blinds in each room and somehow the ones in our bedroom got tangled and as I opened them a bit popped off and a slat (is that what you call it?) fell off. Bugger. We had already been out at the shops so didn't want to go back out and TBM was pretty sure we could fix it quite easily.
Forgetting about the blind we headed out to the movies (don't bother watching Killing Them Softly, strange disjointed movie that doesn't live up to the actors in it) and came back to realise we have a space in the blind where the slat had fallen out. It was a big enough gap to let light in and this gave me the willies as I have a fear of people peeking in and looking at me in the night. Hey I'm a very interesting person, somebody might want to watch me snore the night away!
Oh the joys of house maintenance, if it was my place I would rip the buggers out and some beautiful curtains instead... maybe someday I'll get the chance to do that!
