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 ⭐️Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Yes, paperwork is a nightmare!

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."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee3 -
Well done on your MOT. Best to get the tyre done asap as that ishe only thing on the road and we had a slight frost this morning. Its definitely getting to defrosting windscreen time.
