how can i tell her?
I know, I'll post about it on our blog. I have been very bad. We couldn't connect to the internet last night or this morning. I just couldn't work out what was wrong. Mrs McMuffin was very accepting of my story that it must be something wrong with BT. The sad truth is that I was tinkering. I was trying to change the port settings on our router. It even had a little message warning me not to do it unless I knew what I was doing. The good news is that I've fixed it and we are now part of the connected generation again. The only problem is, now that I know how to get it all working again, I am sorely tempted to tinker. Will I never learn?

I can SO identify with this! Wifey will ask "why isn't this working anymore?" to shame me into admitting that I'd "just installed this great new app.." or "I was just trying to improve...".
I love tinkering me.

Mr. M. Why were you tinkering with the router in the first place. it worked before didn't it, so why tinker ?

Oh this leads us into the McMuffin debate:
Me: If it works, leave it.
Him: But I won't know how it works unless I break it then make it work again.
