Is it rude to go swimming in the pool, whilst Nick try to drop the gearbox out
Hi all. I this naughty, poor Nick did the clutch on the Discovery and as we speak is trying to get the gearbox out on his own to repair it 
I have offered to help (rejected), he has already nearly broken two fingers.
Would it be rubbing salt in those wounds to swim

Oh the vibe from the garage is not sounding good, and poor Oliver just pushed the buttons for the garage doors and made Nick jump cos he was under the car, hence Nick crapped himself Oliver ended up crying and iam on expats

haha! firstly don't EVER off to help... never... men find it an affront to think that they need help from a mere girl...
Wish we had a swimming pool - yeah, I think you ought to go and swim and have a workout... tis very good for you! lmao! then you can say that you were exercising!
