  • I’d also be worried about the sloppiness of the electrician 😖. Paperwork is the devil…it’s bad enough when you are getting paid for it! Good luck with it all ⭐️

    MOT passed, hurrah!  A couple of advisories, but the only one really needing sorting is a tyre close to limit, so I'll get that done before winter hits.  That's another thing ticked off the list along with the service.

    I'll get in touch with the  electrician tomorrow.  I noticed we had a mutual friend on FB so I messaged them to ask their opinion of him.  They said he's a decent chap so we will go with him.  DH agrees.
