Handymen.
I think the older we get the more we have to rely on tradesmen or handymen to fix things. The jobs you or your other half used to be able to do have become too risky and dangerous, especially when a ladder is needed, or you just might not be bothered anymore, so you have to pay someone else to do the jobs and it's only natural to look for the best value and workmanship, but it's not easy finding the right person at the right price. (that sounds like the opening of an Ad.
)My wife and daughter look after that side of things, the wife used to have a "Mister Wonderful", her words, who could do anything, marvelous chap, all he was short of doing was raising the dead, but last year Mister Wonderful done a bunk with the money he got in advance to build a small brick wall in the garden, so that was the end of him, to the wife he became Dick Turpin after that, but to give Dick Turpin his due at least he had the decency to wear a mask when he robbed you, this fella was a real Lady charmer and bare faced robber.
Now the daughter has a few lads on a list who she knows and trusts and if we have to get something done we do it through her and so far she hasn't steered us wrong. I am still capable of doing lots of jobs around the house but they won't trust me with them, so be it. Have you got a trusted reliable handyman to call when you need him.?

Re: Handymen.
Well I meant handymen and Women Annie, one of the Ads on here says there's a handywoman just 4 miles away, I don't think she's a plumber the way she's dressed.The reason this sprung to mind was, today after I finished work in the shed I went upstairs to take a shower. I stripped naked and turned on the tap, the water was freezing so I dressed and went downstairs to try the kitchen tap, freezing too. the boiler wasn't heating the water so the wife called the daughter and in about 30 minutes this nice young chap arrived to fix it. He was over an hour working on it and only charged 50 Euro's, saying if it gives us any trouble to call him again, but he didn't think it would. So I had me shower, now I'm having me port and all's well that ends well.
