My hubby has always been the 'handy man' in our house as he was a builder/carpenter and had many useful skills and lots of good ideas. Since his mini stroke he still thinks he can do as much but alas not. Our upstairs toilet seat has been loose for weeks ,lol, yesterday he decided he would 'fix it' lots of swear words later and one now completely broken toilet seat. off to B & ? again. lol. Love him to bits though. :-) |

When I got redundancy I picked up loads of odd jobs so moved into being a handyman. |

Wend, when I was married, that's the way it went too - one of his other 'jobs' when I was decorating, was looking after the children :-D |

When I was younger, I had to learn how to put a plug on. Dad just could not get at the fiddly bits. Seen many an appliance or its plug thrown across the room in frustration. |
