I get so confused

TheCatWoman

I found out a few days ago that you an get MDF with no VOC's, I need some new doors for my built in wardrobes and this stuff sounds ideal as its not going to smell, so I looked for it online and found lots of places that sell it, great I thought, until I went to see the sizes. They all come in millimetres and its to complicated a sum for me, I know to knock off a zero to get a centimetre measurement, but then I get stuck, I can't visualise a square metre, and I don't know how to measure it all up so as I can get an approximate cost. I could possibly just about manage it in feet and inches, which is what I suspect my house was built in. I know that metric measurements are supposed to be easy as they're all based on 10's, but it still makes no sense. If I could see a sheet of the stuff then I could make a good guess at how many I'd need, but online I can't do that.

Why do these things have to be so complicated?

    Hang in there it'll sort out.  Hope you're feeling better.

    Thanks I'm better but still shakey.

    On about the 4th or 5th attempt I managed to get on I-player and watch Strictly, but I don't know how to do anything else yet, I'll try agan tomorow as I can't just watch stuff on I-player, I do watch other channels too, and unless I can get it to record stuff I'm unable too as everythng's on at the same time and I find other players really difficult and I have to watch ads.

    I dont have anyone else here in person to help and I'm the only one who has a humax box anyay, they all stream and I've no idea how to do that or even if I have the equipment too.

    I hate being so useless at something others find so easy and just do. I know all these things are supposed to be intuitive, but I don't know who's intuition they're using but it's not mine, it's anything but intuitive, it's totally obtuse.

    I suppose this will just go down as yet another thing where I've fought with tech and nobody understands how or why.
