Still waiting for the postie to drop off the final certificates for the students - I wouldn't mind betting they don't come until the new year - should have been here on Monday!

I had to fight with Avril, to use my multi-tool - she's quite DIY orientated, but had never seen one before. She has fallen in love with it![]()
What attachments does she like best?
I/we made a good start, on making the door to the under-stairs space, full size. I had to fight with Avril, to use my multi-tool - she's quite DIY orientated, but had never seen one before. She has fallen in love with it
All cut out, we just need some timber to make up the door framing, then adapt a flush door.
I held off buying a multi tool for a long time, thought they were a bit 'gimicky' but eventually I bought a cheap mains operated one and found I used it more and more, far more than I expected. Earlier this year I used the electricians 18v battery one (Makita) and was so impressed I ordered one the next day.
Price of blades is a nuisance, I normally bulk buy from Saxon Blades.
I bought my DeWalt cordless one without even knowing what I was going to use it for - I just wanted one to play with - it was during lockdown and I was looking for something to do! First time I used it, it was to sand down a bench before painting it. Second time…….getting floor covering under the architraves. Third and latest time was a few months ago when I needed to cut a waste pipe under my sink close to the wall. Not much use in 3 years I admit, but it’s nice to have.I bought mine a few years ago, for just one job - getting floor covering under the achitrives, when I got around to doing the kitchen floor.
I ran for a bus the other day - about 400 yards in my work boots with a thick coat on. Bloody knackered me. Worse thing was, I could feel my tits bouncing up and down. Definitely going to lose some weight in the new year. Either that or get a better fitting bra……Just done another hour's worth of cycling on the smart trainer.
She was obsessed with the flat ended, spade shaped one, she found that easier to get into the awkward corners![]()

Well that went well. Mate was panicking because he got some weird message through an app saying his battery was duff. He's going on a cruise next week and doesn’t want to get back to the port after two weeks away to find he has a flat battery so he bought a new one and asked me if he could fit it. No problem, I popped up today, he came round and first thing I had to do was remove a lot of plastic and a wiring loom just to get at it. The rearmost terminal looked like it had a plant growing on it, it was covered in green crud. I removed the battery, cleaned the terminal with some boiling water and as I was fitting the terminal, it just wouldn’t tighten up. I took the battery back out, looked at the terminal to find it had cracked where it had been attacked by the acid gasses. We had to start the thing up with jump leads to get it into the workshop - can't move an automatic car with an electric handbrake with no battery on the car! Had to order one in from Ford dealer and can’t get it until next week. Hes pooping himself now. Get this, a bloody earth lead is going to cost him £121 and I’ve got to go back in again next week.I'll leave the bike here and come up by train next week when I come down to fit a battery on my mates Kuga and reset the BMS.
