So, Bloggeroos - Here we are again with some more hints and tips for the single ladies.
If you don't have a man in your life right now, I've already dealt with keeping your car on the road in a previous blog entry.
So today, I am going to cover D.I.Y. and the assortment of tools you will find useful.
If money's no object - you could always find yourself a Handy Man, but as you may remember from previous posts (link below), that's not always a good idea.
Better yet, pop down to Wilko's and for £15 you can buy your very own set of tools.
**********
If you're on a tight budget, like me - here's a quick rundown on what tools I use................
SCREWDRIVERS
I've never understood why anyone would need different screwdrivers...........
Flat head?....................or.........................
Phillips? No! No! No!......................
You only need this one..............................
Known 'in the Trade' as a Birmingham Screwdriver!
************
SAWS........................
Handsaw?.............or.........................
Coping Saw? No! No! No!.................
I only use one of these.............................
My trusty Bread Knife!
They showed it cutting wood on the telly advert I bought it from, so why not?
************
PLIERS
You will need a pair of these..........................
Of course, I didn't need to buy any pliers.
You may remember that I worked as a Dental Assistant, so I already have my own supply!

I received a letter the other day from a newly single lady. She asked me..............
"What is the ONE tool I should buy that will be the most useful?"
That's easy!...................
It's this one..........................

Love you Sue, hurry back from your break! I will miss my dose of laughter. x0x0
A girl who kmows her tools :) I hope you will be having a lovely break and look forward to when you come back.

If in doubt, hit it with a large hammer - works every time !
I love it!! Ha ha...enjoy your break but don't forget to come back...I love your posts, a welcome bit of humour in our lives. xxx
Thankyou for this. Hubby went mad when he saw me poking in the toaster with a knife. He is an electrician! Wait til he finds out I use a can of hairspray as a hammer!
Such sage advice & multi purpose tools too!
Pleased to have found your site ! I need all the fix-it advice I can get - I definitely don't know my tools .

Ha ha at least you know it's called a phillips! This is much more than some of my friends! I'm an engineer so get to be Handyman for them all! I usually ask them to pass 'the crossy screwdriver!'
Interesting thooughts
