Tomorrow. How often do we hear that word. We’ve all heard it a hundred times. But as we all know tomorrow never comes. If your like me your nearest and dearest is a tomorrow man.

It’s not like he cant do it. He is a tradesman after all. Its just there is always some excuse.

That gorgeous set of drawers you bought for the living room. It comes in a flatpack and if you have ever tried to follow the instructions. You will need a degree in engineering. Plus of course you have every type and size of screwdriver ever made, Except the one you need.
