How to...
Fix the zipper on your school uniform skirt.
Or perhaps, how not to fix it...


Well, the thing is,I broke the little thing connected to the zipper on Friday. You know, the thing that you pull so the zipper "unzips" *inserts dirty thoughts here*. For our sake, we shall call it a "zipper puller". As a result, I can't pull the zipper up, or down, for that matter.


So, I've been trying to fix it since Friday and here are a list of all the things I attempted:


1) Trying to replace the "zipper puller" with "a piece of string", if you can call it that.
Alas, I always made the loop too small for my fat fingers to fit through. And eventually, I ran outta string. Yep, there is officially no more string in the Wrong household....uh, I mean..Wong household.


2) Trying to fit a safety pin through the hole.
Of course, that didn't work either. Although, now my skirt has a nice red colour to it, as I did prick my fingers far too many times during the process. Never fear, I shall make red splotches on blue tartan fashionable once more!


3) Attempting to pull the zipper down with my teeth.
Do not try this at home. Honestly. It's worst than eating 10 packets of starburst lollies. However, if like me, you're comfortable with 4 cavities, an ulcer on your tongue and a broken front tooth, be my guest.


4) Run to mummy.
After my failed attempts at independence, one has to ultimately admit defeat. Although I must admit, my mum is as talented in the field of fixing things as I am, having no experience whatsoever with a sewing kit. Although, I've got to give it to her. SHE actually managed to shove that safety pin through that excruciatingly tiny hole.


Well, that is the end of my banter. Guys, prepare to see me at school tomorrow looking like a ten-year-old bogan (with my new haircut and all), complete with a safety pin as a zipper.


Oh yeah, and remind me to buy a new skirt on Wednesday.
