Sorted.
And those of us who don't work or work on our feet?

Write at work.
I used to get quite a bit of writing done at my old job. Don't get the time for it now unfortunately.
This is sounds horribly familiar! My trick is to do most of my writing in my head. If I have an idea then tell myself to go start writing it, I procrastinate and it never gets done. Eventually I get so annoyed with it, and myself, I decide it isn't a good idea anyway and then it gets dropped.
Nowadays, if I come up with an idea, I tell myself to just daydream about it. If I keep daydreaming around the characters and the story it eventually just writes itself in my head. I don't put fingers to keyboard until I'm essentially just typing down the conversation that's already happened in my head.
If that makes sense...Makes it easier for me, anyway! And FAR more enjoyable.
I'm writing a collection of phrases that start with it's or its, they're all have roughly the same meaning.
Some get a green underline on word, some a blue, some switch between blue and green when I correct them.
What does this mean?

Meaningless problem unless you tell us which program (and possibly which O/S & which type computer) you are using.

Green is potential grammatical error.
Blue is inconsistent formatting.

What was this DIY disaster? Assembling an Ikea kit wardrobe, dresser and mirror?

No, Ikea doesn't scare me.
This was sawing and installing the last bit of the wooden flooring in my living room.
I'm handier than I seem.
That is pretty handy. What went wrong?
She can't reply, being trapped in the corner of the living room.

I messed up the measuring and sawing bit. I like sawing so I was disappointed. It's all mended now though. 
Hey Jennie what happened to your last boyfriend who surprsied you with a trip to Nandos?

This has puzzled me. Does it make sense?

In Sooty's inimitable style, yes.
I have previously expressed a deep loathing for Nando's.
Soots is implying that as a result of his culinary faux pas, I have proceeded to murder said boyfriend and dismember him Robert Napper style.
Which in the circs, would be a reasonable punishment for making me endure 2 hours at Nando's. No jury would convict me.
