Magz found a real bargain in the charity shops this week. She picked up a Black and Decker drill for five ninety-nine. Just the thing for Calum’s project of building a desk in his room to get finished. Now we can drill the holes to fix the supports to the wall. As you might remember that we had already cut all the wood as well as the old kitchen worktop some weeks back. Unfortunately it was after planning then cutting everything that we found that our drill had given up the ghost. Since then we’ve been on the look out for one going cheap. Now thanks to Magz eagle eye we have one. Of course now I need to get Calum to clean his room all over again. It took me weeks to get him to do it last time. Let’s hope that the wait for his desk to be completed will motivate him to be quick off of the mark this time round.
Good news on my apples too. Again it was Magz that spotted one had fallen from the tree during the week. I was at work so found out she had decided to pick them all. There had been a frost during the week so I think that may have encouraged the tree to finally give up its fruit. Sadly Magz is still to make the pies, maybe this weekend. I hope she remembered the custard, hehehe.
