        I remember saying to a mate that he could paint his own place, why was he getting someone in.

        He just said how much he was paying the guy to do it, and thoguht about how long it would take him to do it himself.

        Since then, I've taken the same attitude to a lot of things!

          I got a load of numbers from the tradesman that did the loft conversion. I've only used the plumber out of them all. But he was good, friendly and very reasonsably prices.

                I'll slap some paint on, re-wire and even unblock the drains but I will never do plastering.

                I also no longer tell people I work in IT as I refuse to fix their PCs anymore.

                One neighbour who knows what I do asked me if I could call Dell and get them to knock 25% off the price of the laptop he wanted for his kid.

                  Brother-in-law used to do it all, but then one day while changing his brakes he got some rust in his eyes.

                      After a visit to the eye clinic, lots of pain he decided to pay the extra 20 quid to have them fitted
