Seriously. This is not a euphemism. It needs a new battery pack.
I need to drill some holes.
Seriously considering putting up a met request for someone to come and lend me an electric drill!  |

"if you need to drill into concrete im your man, just brought a ridiculously powerful hammer drill"
Nope, just a solid beech desk. And I only need to drill 3 holes too. Seriously annoying as it's holding me up.  |

"mmm will it just be the wall that needs drilling  lol"
Well I suppose the lucky person could also help me put the desk together and put it in place in the room, and help me shift a hugenormous wardrobe.  |

"I would have thought a woman of your intelligence would have improvised by now.
Come on work it out, or do you want to be lazy and let me tell you?"
Easy solution is to get my parents to bring one over tomorrow. I'm impatient though. |

Take a corkscrew, shove the handle up your cats bum and spin him vigorously on your desk. It's a bit noisy but will do the job. |

Next time I see you I'm going to shove a corkscrew up your bum. With my special steel toe/sole/everything bum kicking safety boots.  |

Seriously though, if you are screwing into wood, can't you get by without drilling? |

No, I'm definitely going to need to pre-drill on this occasion. I could probably improvise and bodge it by arsing around with an awl, self tapping screws of increasing diameter and the like, but for the sake of a day, I know the sensible way is to wait and use the right tool for the job and do it properly.
I'm still impatient though. I hate not being able to get on with stuff when I want to. |

"Hammer the screws in. Make a small guide hole with a nail then hammer away.
You'll still get them out with a screwdriver."
I do occasionally go for the brute force (add "and ignorance" where appropriate) approach but that's a bit too much of a bodge for me! 
It wouldn't work in any case this time because the screws are blunt ended, not pointed, (which is why pre-drilling is needed).
I'll be patient and wait til I can get the right tools. |
