How many girls?

'How many girls does it take to change a lightbulb?'  Yeah we've all heard the joke and the punchline being - 'None, why bother?'  ha ha - NOT !!!!!!!  The reality is though (well for me) - I can change a lightbulb and I can change the washers on my taps and thanks to my Dad and Brother, am quite competent at lots of DIY tasks that stereotypically girls can't do.  However, do you think I can take the bloody cover off my smoke alarm? NO!!!




HELP !!!!!!!!! the beeping that my smoke alarm sounds at regular intervals to impatiently draw my attention to the fact it needs a new battery is doing my head in!!

I stood on the step ladders to reach the ceiling, armed with numerous sized batteries.  The wording on the cover read: 'Turn (with an arrow) to remove cover'.  Easy enough - you'd think?  Well - NO!!!!!!!!  I've turned every which way but it still stays stuck to the ceiling as though taunting me with, 'ha ha'. 

I'm trying to remain calm - perhaps I will get used to the beeping (create a ditty tune to it) - why stress? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!  I am heading to ASDA Walmart in a minute, cotton wool for my ears is looking a must.  I hate to admit it but I so need a guy right now (and to my best friend - before you can give a witty response - I don't need him for the reason you think;-) !!!!!!!!!!! ). 

So I've just moaned but have no solution, apart from the cotton wool and surely that's temporary?  At this rate I'm gonna commit murder to my smoke alarm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  So how many girls does it take to CHANGE A BATTERY IN A SMOKE ALARM?  None - why bother - if you are all as useless as me - don't even attempt it ;-) !
