Armed with my trusty tool kit~ consisting off assorted broken kitchen knives, a bent 'thingy' that was something to do with old fashioned bed springs, the twisty bit off an old cork screw, a spanner/wrench(can't tell the difference!)that I found abandoned in the road, assorted rubber bands, some blu tac, & my faithful old roll of Gaffa tape~bought at a car boot sale & miraculously seems never ending, I'm ready to tackle any of those odd jobs that crop up around the house.
I have had considerable success~(and a few disasters)~ with my DIY! I once managed to perform open heart surgery on my 'Henry' hoover, & with the aid of a lump of the blu tac reattached the live wire to the wotsit~then with a blue flash & a bang from the 13amp plug, restarted it, thereby gaining several more years of service from good 'ol 'enry~till he died rather spectacularly one day when I was hoovering the front path (but that's another story!).
I once Gaffa taped a neighbours 3yr old son to a door when he was throwing an almighty tantrum ~ worked like a charm~ never had another one, grew up to be a straight 'A' student, tho he does have some odd phobias & a severe nervous tic!
But I digress ~ I'm not bad at the old DIY ~ have been known to change the odd tap washer~(the plumber who came to repair the leak said I'd made a 'half decent' job of it!). I installed the cooker~( it only gives off occasional shocks), changing light bulbs & plugs~Pish ~easy~ do them all the time !!
So ~ when I was looking through the Argos book & saw they had a set of cordless electric power tools~screwdriver,drill & jig saw ~ on special offer ~ Well! ~ it was just too good to miss!! ~ Just think of the jobs I can tackle with those! ~ theres that door that sticks~& that mirror thats been waiting to be put up~ the grab rail for the shower~ that squeaky floorboard~ lotsa shelves~~~~~~~~~>
