Oh my. I own one screwdriver and a small wrench (the origin of which I am unsure).
Ha! Like she'd know where the sink is.Quote:

Is there any chance that you might be able to post on a thread one day without doing the whole professional northerner thing? ;-)Quote:

I actually find washing up at the end of the evening quite therapeutic. Of course I haven't actually done any for yearsQuote:
