On the plus side though

Ive sorted all my tools out, its a piece of art now. All the screwdrivers have their own bins, ditto sanding items, screws and fixings, nails, hosebitz, all the black nasty and masking tape are now housed in their own caddy, paintrollers all roof suspended on a bar, paint is in a locker with coshh items. I now know where all my s**t is (5 wire brushes ffs). Im gonna put a sign on the door "QM STORES NO UNAUTHORISED ENTRY". Decided to run this place like an army camp, her lounge is now the Officers Mess and my lounge is the Sgts Mess. And through there is the cookhouse.
