stripped down MY bosch proffesional cordless drill in work and fettled the battery connectors so it no longer "pops" under load. cleaned the crud out of the motor and tweaked the brushes. Nothing better than fixing my stuff while being paid to sit and wait till midnight to do a HV switching operation.

Replaced the sink and kitchen taps. Tomorrow's job is to replace an alarm door sensor. Repaired the water feature last week, needs a new pump now, and garden ornament needs some fixing (weights about 50kg)

He'd opened the window, flung in an air freshner and put on the extractor.

Today I went to draw a new kitchen with help from a pro. But as it's going to cost £10000 I think i'm off to IKEA as i'm sure i can save a good few grand.
I'm starting 12 weeks paid leave from, well, now. This time will be spent bonding with my 10-month old son.

Memories of helping my dad fit a tow bar to a Ford Cortina, i was the right size to sit in the boot and screw the nuts on while he pushed the bolts through from below ....... i learnt a lot of new words that day.

Not a recent Dad thing, but when my eldest little Angel decided to lodge her shoe down the toilet then drop a log on top of that AND flush till the browness levelled with the rim.I had to go in commando style and remove said blockage ! Not nice,but Mrs Skud was not having anything to do with it ! To top it all off the offending little Angel came into the bathroom whilst i was arm deep in watery poo and said "that's disgusting Dad ! "

My dad was a carpenter/joiner and was also car-mad. As a teenager, I used to ask him about woodwork and cars all the time but he'd always say the same thing - "You don't want to work with your hands Col, you're a bright lad - work with your brain instead!" so I never got to do any of that kind of thing with him.
Then my younger sister got married. Her husband was very interested in woodwork and cars so he asked my dad for advice. That led to about 5 years of carpentry and car maintenance lessons for him in our garage - hmmph!
That's probably why I never learned to drive - when I was most interested in cars, I got put off them. I ended up with my head buried in books instead.
