Most DIY problems can be solved by a combination of spanner, pliers, screwdriver, Allan key and a blade. (Hold it, twist it, cut it!) Very occasionally industrial language, a hammer and an adhesive may need to be added to the mix. (Curse it, hit it, patch it!)0 -

A spendy 2 days in London with work will probably all go on expenses but I'm not giving myself a break. Still on 6 NSD's.0
