Thanks Neil, at Homebase, they didn't think could get anymore, but will try other places now. They did suggest an electric place between Homebase and Asda .. do you know, never noticed that !

Well time to put the record straight. Of course you guessed was only talking about a power-type screwdriver. Mez told me about all the fun she has had with it ..that woman gone screwing mad.

Can't believe didn't have a small type one at Homebase last night !!.

Am just now about to embark on a mission of constructing this small garden bench for my meagre strip of British land out the back. Have been staring at it for 2 weeks now in the hall, and have now managed to handball the package to the kitchen. Course opening the pack cost me a stab with scissors in me hand,broken finger nail and not too sure about that toe I dropped the iron end on. Just realised probably screwdriver not the issue, now have to search for spanner to hold nuts at the back !!

Took day off 'cause will have to do outside and didn't wish neighbours to be smirking at my efforts ... they OK actually ... but something I have to do on my own, if you understand my meaning. 'I will survive' type stupid attitude. First bit is going to be the hardest, screwing one slat to one cast iron end and then to the other end .. my arm span not that wide. Will do it, am determined. Just hope will get it done before the weather breaks.

Once done, anybody welcome to try it out and watch the ducks going by .. just hope get it tight enough so doesn't collapse, or sway
